Dual Wielding in MW2....why???????

I dont get it....this game is supposed to be realistic....

Why the dual wielding??? I know Halo has that and I enjoy that feature, but keep that for Halo since no one said Halo is close to being realistic....

But for a Call of Duty game? I dont get it....when do you ever see soldiers running around shooting 2 guns at the same time?

agree

MW isn't the most realistic game out there, it just goes for the realistic look. (graphics-wise)

But I agree, it's completely ridiculous, and steps further in to the realms of Halo-ishness.

MW never was realistic.. how exactly can you die and while dead pull the pin on a grenade and drop it?

If the dual-wielding turns out to be more fun than traditional wielding then I welcome the change.

To be honest it just makes the game even more realistic, because you can do it in real life can't you ? also I'm sure it won't be as accurate as firing with one weapon so calm down guys lol.:P

I agree its pretty stupid. IW may have just givin into the Dark Side of the Force right there (they have cookies). As much as I think its stupid, I think maybe if was implemented as a tenacity system for say team play maybe it could work.

For instance:

In a 5v5 game: 3 players of Team X have been eliminated, none of Team Y players have been eliminated. The 2 remaining players on Team X will enter a tenacity sort of perk mode where they can CHOOSE to dual weild in order to increase there fire power. Doing so will decrease accuracy as weapons could only be fired from the hip.

Well I'm guessing that when you're dual-wielding, you're forced to hip-fire which means it probably wont be very accurate.

It's called dead man's grip.

Adding dual wielding in MW2 though is a bad move. COD4 traded on its 'realistic' approach rather than over the top shenanigans so this is a step in the wrong direction. No combat professional dual wields firearms in real life anymore.

:lol: that made me laugh. And I completely agree with that last part.

Hey it may just be a perk, like if it replaces stopping power then sure, go for it.

They added dual-wielding. Big deal. If you don't like it, don't use it.

Everybody chill, IGN just confirmed that you can't look down your sights, and it may be a perk on top of that. Its going to be balanced.

Halo is "outdated", now CoD is "borrowing" some of those "outdated elements". Today is full of Irony.Mau-Justice

Who said Halo is outdated?

Do you enjoy making up arguments?

yeh becaus elord knows you cant dual weild in real life...:roll: [QUOTE="DranzarTypeF"]

LOL @ everybody who considers COD "realistic"

I love the game, but it's definately an arcade shooter instead of a sim.

In the past Tom Clancy games like "Rainbow 6" have been pretty good as far as realism go, but COD was never meant to be a war sim. COD is an arcade shooter always has been probably always will be.

If duel weilding makes MW2 more fun all to it. Personally I can't imagine it making the game better, but maybe I'm going to trust the designers on this one.

so its beliveable to be able to take 3 or 4 bullets, hide for 5 seconds and be ok but when someone ads another gun in another hand that throws it into the unbeliveable?

stop with the crying over really stupid thingschildren.

As long as it's not like Goldeneye where you can dual-wield shotguns or rocket launchers, then it doesn't really matter to me.

[QUOTE="deadly_shuriken"] yeh becaus elord knows you cant dual weild in real life...:roll: [QUOTE="DranzarTypeF"] Realistic in the sense of using actual guns and realisitic locations in game.... If they are going for the army real life portrayal, why add duel wielding??? And also, I dont think it will be too inaccurate or else they wouldnt have added that feature, Im sure it has its pros....but again in real life, i dont see any pros in duel wielding other than going on a suicide mission and shooting randomly everywherelil_d_mack_314

simple suggestion people, DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T USE IT, NOBODIES PUTTING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD.:P

dual wielding? its not like its not impossible in real life, so its a realistic thing, i don't c a problem at all, so i welcome it :DLightColor

It's not impossible but so inaccurate and uncontrollable that nobody would do it in real life. Especially when they're talking about dual wielding Desert Eagles - go watch some videos on youtube of the recoil on a DE even when people are gripping with both hands

who says you can't dual wield in real life? it's just... horribly inaccurate and risky in a real life situation. and in COD, whoever gets the first shot most likely wins anyways so I don't find this too annoying.

then again this is a game... but the last time it was fun to dual-wield anything was the last time i payed double credits on a light-gun game.

But I don't care about realism... I'm worried about gameplay. I guess people will figure out how to glitch and grief with any gun so I shouldn't worry about the potential to this either. If they nerf it enough with no grenades, terrible recoil, no sights, and it takes a perk spot, not bad. The Deagle is just too strong and fires too fast if you try to be fair if it's dual wielded. I'm worried about the game being fun, not about "realism"CNUrGames

dual weilding pistols in COD is not a problem.

dual wielding machine guns like Rambo and Arnold would be. until then... its no biggie

What they should be doing is not make it a perk (if it isn't already) and should only make this available if you find a gun on the battlefield. IW should not make this as a starting set up.

This could be a cool feature but it depends on what you are dual wielding. If it is a gun such as an uzi or a lower powered handgun then that is fine. If we start seeing people dual wielding shotguns and the FAMAS or P90 then we would have an issue.

well i like holding 2 guns so iam happy with it..

dual wielding uzis or scorpions or pistols is unrealistic? i can see if they allow it for ARs that would just be borderline retarded

402 has confirmed it is only for sideasrms but he also said said arms has been increased so isn't just handguns and btw here is a video of a soldier dual wielding

Well as it's announced so far it's just pistols that you can dual wield, including the Deagle. Not sure that it will apply to other guns, I would hope that it wouldn'tCNUrGames

A soldier has TWO hands.

I'm not too fond of it, either -- but I trust Infinity Ward to balance it properly. Plus, it'll likely be a perk ... so you're probably sacrificing something better to use it.

This is Infinity Ward we're talking about here, their the Godfathers of shooting games on next gen consoles lol, I trust their judgement. Think about it guys... Dual Wielding a freakin Desert Eagle is no easy task lol, the game has a new recoil system, so chances are a firing a deagle in both hands is gonna snap your wrist back causing you to lose a significant amount of damage or at least disable your hands for a bit in-game, also usually a soldiers accuracy would decrease by a large margin while dual wielding,so I trust that the game will still be balanced and you'll probably have to sacrifice another useful perk for it.;)
