The sound issue is a definite problem I hear about everytime I am in the server.
As far as the shield bug..I found out the one I was referring to earlier and it does work if done properly. Buy a shield with your knife out..no pistol. close the shield buy and pistol and it opens. From then on with shield open you still can't be hurt. Basics again. buy shield with knife close shield holding knife open with gun ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin J.
