- This item generates a powerful force field that lasts for about 35 seconds. Perfect for areas with no cover. Beware: it doesn't protect you from explosions!

This is awesome! In my eyes it also remember to me those Halo shields. Anyway, did you PNGOUT'd all sprites?

This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I do have a couple suggestions, though:

*The lights on the side turn red when it "dies", which is a nice touch, but could potentially go a bit further. How about having the lights gradually change color over time, to indicate how much "life" the shield has before it shuts off?

*The dead shield generator sticks around indefinitely. I'd personally have it fade out after a while so it doesn't clutter up the place.

I agree on both suggestions, MagicWazard posted, it's just a nitpick but it would make the whole just perfect.

@ozymandias81: thank you yes, they are

@MagicWazard: those are very good ideas, I'll work on them asap

EDIT: Here's the updated file

Shiiiiiiit, you even made the forcefield itself change color as the power runs down--hell, even the impact effects generated by shooting the shield change color, too! That's definitely more than I was expecting. Anyways, this is definitely approved.

Awesome thanks!

I totally agree, this is perfect stuff!
