How will shields work? Will shields be based on 100% damage absorption until drained, or will they function on a percentage-based damage reduction from the weapon type fired?asked by Kronixia

Basically, CryEngine gives us a lot of capability with dealing with penetration of armor and shields. It lets you determine whether something punches straight through or is slowed down, does less damage after it goes through, or it can impact the shield fully and all the damage is absorbed by the shield. So it depends on the type of ammo you're using, actually, how far it will go through and whether or not it will actually impact the shield or the armor behind it.
