Its not like you can remove "hiding behind a res node"
You would have to remove the res node itself <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Since 3.0 came out, I can't seem to hide behind the marines res nodes. The marines' bullets hit me even though the res node is between me and the marine.
make sense?

But in 3.0 beta1 this has been ****ed up or something peaple just unload a lmg clip and u get down to 10 hp.... a lucky pistol and you are done <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So, for a clear answer, you can use it as a decent shield to block most of your body, but you can still be hit if they can see you.
Personally I find this the 2nd most annoying thing in the world (next to spore spam from a vent outside marine spawn), especially with FF on, as it means shooting at the skulk results in even more damage to the RT. It wouldn't be so bad if most rts wern't in corners <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
What are you talking about? You can only build resource towers on spots where there is a resource node, which has to be built into the map. Unless you were playing on a strange nonstandard map, there is no way you could have built a res tower in a vent. Maybe you built offense chambers or defense chambers, but you certainly didn't build resource towers.
People were building them all over the place it was hillarious.
Didn't the riot shield have enough problems working with CS?
WTH?
maybe the server had sv_cheats 1? you can drop anything anywhere with that
it was well possible to shoot aliens behind an rt in 2.01, although i only really figured it out with the pistol. there was a small, tight "window" that let bullets pass into the skulks.

sv_cheats 1 does not let you do that, at least not as of 2.0.
But don't forget about grenades Tasty, hiding behind buildings isn't quite the same with those around. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
One thing I usually have luck with is clinging to the side of the rt by jumping and tapping crouch until I'm in a cozy spot that's above the legs and behind the large part of the structure, but I admit that I don't know what position the skulk's model gets in when I do this, and I haven't had many chances to try it to see how well it protects me.
