The Twitch streamer LIRIK tested a really nasty setup in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that was even embarrassing for him in the end. Nevertheless, it seems to be effective.
What was this setup? For this, LIRIK equipped himself with a riot shield and a rocket launcher. In addition, he took C4 with him and strutted around the map.
The streamer only had explosive weapons and could protect himself with the shield from opponents with assault rifles.
“What the hell is this? This is so dumb”
See the scene here: In the following clip, you can see LIRIK in action with this setup. He eagerly collects kills by dropping C4 on enemies or blowing them away with the rocket launcher.
LIRIK even survived a C4 attack from an opponent. The opponent threw the explosive at the streamer, but the shield absorbed the damage, allowing LIRIK to survive.
In the end, the streamer even hid cunningly in a house and set a trap for an opponent. He let him in and ran straight into the C4. LIRIK himself stood safely behind his shield.

This is what LIRIK says about the action: He can hardly believe that this setup worked so well. During his kills, he said things like: “Are you kidding me, what the hell is that? This is so dumb!” or “Oh my God, I would leave the game out of anger.”
The streamer is aware that this combo is really unfair to players who use regular rifles. In the end of the clip, however, he accepts this inequality and continues to have fun with his combo.
That’s why the setup could be embarrassing: Many players are already critical of campers and often get upset about them. If you then get taken out by a camper who has tucked himself in a corner with a shield and is hunting players with C4, the shame afterwards could be great.
