Granting a player invincibility AND a powerful weapon in multiplayer at the same time is just too powerful! I agree, the shields were meant for single-player. When Epic put them in some of the official multiplayer levels (Battle 1, DW), they probably hadn't realised how they would mess up the gameplay. But they do! So I am anti-shields in multiplayer levels. They are just too powerful and grant unfair advantages. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad if other players could hurt players with shields.
