Knights, whats your opinion of shield cancel in lockdown? IMHO: exploiting a bug ( because it is a bug the ability to attack faster than it is supposed to) is totally griefing.

Seeing as all 3 classes have

Seeing as all 3 classes have the capability of using it I am fine with it. Recon stealth and Striker boost act just like shielding.

Also... shield canceling is on the wiki, as you yourself so helpfully pointed out. The wiki is monitored and editted by the staff of OOO. Players can put whatever they like on it, but if you put up something inappropriate or something not yet released (such as a certain fungus cap) they'll remove it. If something is on there explaining how to exploit bugs I think it is a safe assumption it would be taken down.

It's fine. But it puts strikers and recons at a slight disadvantage when they run out of special power.

Its a glitch

well, we all know its a glitch, and we all still use it, so we should all get banned? O.o Because we all know exploiting glitches is a bannable offense

Gee.

Wouldn't want to speed up gameplay or add a very minor technical skill requirement, or anything.

lol it's not a glitch it's been like that since the game was made. I'm pretty sure the devs all know about it. So get over it and lrn2play

Shield cancel? That's old

Shield cancel? That's old news.

The cool kids are making two of the same weapon and equipping them, swapping between them while doing weapon combos.

Did you really have to use the word griefing? Shield Cancel isn't much of a bug, and it doesn't destroy, or imbalance lockdown.

1. You can do it too, everyone can...

2. It helps so that you can get out of the way faster. Honestly, if there was no Shield Cancel, it would be impossible to kill a Guardian 1v1 (and you AS A STRIKER) with a sword. I play as a striker all the time, I shield cancel and pwn guardians super easy.

Don't complain on the forums if you are losing. I am not saying you are, but if you are, just don't.
