The .50 cal Desert Eagle a compensator and a muzzle break to compensate for the recoil i own one and trust it sounds intimidating but really its not that bad and i think with practice someone could accurately dual wield desert eagles.

It can happen but real soldiers wouldn’t use dual wielding. I think it’s a stupid idea. There’s always a primary and a secondary. As for rambo you guys thats fictional hollywood bulls**t. How can you shoot out two .50 calibers at the same time? If they just put pistols I still think that it’s a little off. I don’t think that the whole game is made to be realistic when playing online. As far as the single player campaign they shouldn’t put in duel-wielding it takes out too much realism. but I hope that they don’t go too far out it they do, the whole game is going to end up looking like a looney toons video game. I just think that they should have put in a little more violence (blood and gore) into the game to make it more realistic.

[...] of the bigger shockers about the upcoming (Call of Duty) Modern Warfare 2 is that players will be able to have dual wielding weapons. Yes, it’s time for Halo 3-style akimbo attacking. Bungie [...]

skullking123, what do you mean by “the only dual-wielding weapon is the AKIMBO”? Akimbo is a body position where the hands are on the hips and that may be used for dual shooting.

Oh don’t base your opinion on the above image cause it’s just a weapon mirrored (look at the HB sensor). I belive that only Pistols will be dual wield and will have horrible accuracy, so it’s up to the player to choose if he’ll grab it. Realistic Scenario: A Spec-ops dude has a M191 colt .45 (or whatever it’s called) and finds another one dropped in the floor by an enemy. If he wants it, he grabs it, if he doesn’t want it, he won’t grab it. Damn, he could even take his helmet off and throw it at an enemy lol (like in saving private ryan)

MW wasn’t about full realism, nor as it about john woo crazy gun battles. It was about making you feel like you were in the real shit, in a real special OPS squad, to the extent a video game can do that.

From that point of view, dual wielding is simply ridiculous. No soldier will shoot two sidearms at once. One hand on the pistol’s grip, the other one supporting the weight of the pistol from underneath the grip. No other way, no slomo jumping with both gunz blazing. Unless you are a terrorist controlling time flow. Will they have that too?

When it comes to sub machine guns and bigger weapons, dual wielding is out of the question simply because with one hand you hold the weapons against your shoulder and the other hand is for support. Arnold and Rambo could shoot from the hip because the movie script took care of the aiming.

Like most people said above, it worked in Halo 2 because there were aliens involved. It’s kind of stupid to argue one cannot shoot a Needler and a shotgun at the same time.

Cheers!

Since when is MW a realistic shooter anyway? There is no acceleration when you run, you can jump the same height carryiing any weapon, and all the guns feel the same. It doesn’t make it not fun, just not realistic. If you want realistic physics then play KillZone 2. That is by far the most realistic feeling game, albiet set in Sci Fi. If someone took that game and made a Modern Warfare out of it then you you would have realistic.

Dual wielding Desert Eagles? Like Megs1120 and Shadowjin pointed out…just not possible.

Are you really making a comparison to Rambo? He is a fictional character. Even wielding 2 dessies is overpowered imo. I would catch wreck with that and feel like a $2 prostitue afterwards. I really hope they lower the accuracy while duel wielding by a decent enough amount. I won’t write it off until I try it. Here’s to hoping for balance.

@MakaiOokami

I love Timesplitters too! I really wish Free Radical hadn’t made Haze so they’d still be around to make TS4! It’s been delayed because of all of this Crytek business… :’(

In the end you should see it before saying its unrealistic or not. Like I said I think it will probably be a PERK thing and probably limited to side arms. Since when has PERKS been that realistic in the first place.
