Gearheads of War

So normally I don't care about glitches. Unless they alter the game play a hell of a lot. Like the weapon slide and crabwalk did in Gears 1. Well while playing wingman this morning I've found a glitch that is probably worse than both of those. I have no idea how it's done either. Basically from what I've seen is that when you pick up the shield it becomes invisible. That wouldn't be that bad except when someone does this it gives them the ability to fucking use the shotgun and lancer while they have the shield. You could probably use the boom and flamethrower while doing this as well. The guy that did the glitch has the highest rank so it's pretty obvious how he managed that. It's really easy to tell who is doing it because they are walking like they have the shield except you can't see the shield. Figured I would let everyone know.
