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

Here is alink too someone shooting a Desert Eagle .50AE with one hand. Keep in mind that he is not in motion like someone in a game would be and that he is shooting very, very slowly.

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?

-facepalm- Please, for the love of Jesus, Call of Duty isn't even CLOSE to being realistic, it is everything but realistic. :|

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

Your accuracy would be crap, and you would be ****ed if you had to reload, it just isn't practical.

AS LONG AS I DON'T SEE PEOPLE DOING THIS ONLINE I'M GOOD lol:P.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCra4qOrjFw&feature=related

Call of Duty realistic ?

Na man you just see brainless people running so fast as they can and its not tactical at all.

And what about martyrdom like that is realistic ?

Maybe InfinityWard wants RAMBO!

Im guessing it's a perk.aero250

This isn't as bad as the sticky grenades. I mean really? sticky grenades? that doesn't make any sense what so ever.

[QUOTE="deadly_shuriken"] Oh come on..It's just a video game, some people act like their lives are in danger over a game. Infinity Ward is'nt forcing soldiers out in Iraq to duel-wield lol.

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

DranzarTypeF

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

You can do it in real life to an extent. I want to see someone dual-wield desert eagles and fire them consecutively. It's not possible, your arm couldn't withstand that kind of kick back

Yeah, dual-weilding's fine. You know what else would spruce up Modern Warfare 2? A plasma rifle with a 40-watt range. :roll:

If you're making a game that's supposed to depict modern warfare as fought by warfighting professionals, then make that game. There's no need to throw in a bunch of elements from other shooters.

I can see it a couple years from now: Modern Warfare 3 will have people rocket jumping with RPG7s and AT4s, and when someone on a gaming forum like this one points out that this makes no sense in the context of the game, some****ing genius will reply, "LOL, COD's not realistic." Good thinking.

They're right, though. Call of Duty isn't realistic. Its not a war simulator, its just a fun FPS game that is loosely(key word)based on modern combat situations.

As for plasma rifles and all that, there is a point where it obviously start getting over thetop,but Idefinitely dont think dual wielding pistols is crossing that line at all.

Seriously man, if youplay Call of Duty because you want the most realistic'modern warfare' experience you can get, you're looking in the wrong place.

I wonder if this is going to be in the game...

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

When was COD realistic?

And whydotoday's gamers keep getting bent over stupid stuff?

Dual Wielding is for frags

First of all, you don't have to use it, second of all, IW already confirmed you wont be able to ADS as well as it will have reduced accuracy, and third of all IW is definately running out of ideas by now, so they will add random stuff for the casual, which COD4 brought in a lot of, and im sure they will add stuff for the hardcore.

I don't care for duel wielding. I just won't use the feature. simple enough.orb_03_2006

Some of you people read my post where I mocked you for saying "It's not realistic," and then you just repeat it. Great rebuttal. Oh, Call of Duty is not a realistic depiction of warfare? Really? Please continue informing me on war, forum members.

The point isn't whether it's realistic or unrealistic. The point is that some things are out of place in the fiction and presentation of the game. Are you making a game about soldiers? Then put stuff in it that soldiers use. Are you making a Hong Kong action film inspired game? Then put appropriate stuff in that game. Duel wielding's out of place in this game.

You see dual wielding in nine out of ten war films? Seriously?

What war films are you watching? I saw no dual wielding in

• Black Hawk Down
• Saving Private Ryan
• We Were Soilders
• Leters From Iwo Jima
• Flags Of Our Fathers
• Not even in Pearl Harbour.

Dual Wielding is unpractical because it would be insanely hard to reload, and your accuracy would be reduced greatly.

For one, you can quit with the whole condescending attitude. I'm not sure how thats necessary?

And you can switch the words 'out of place' with 'unrealistic' and it'll mean the same thing. I mean, do you really think a modern soldier would choose an MP44 over an M16 in real life? No way in hell. But the game allows you to do it. Its just not a big deal at all, no matter how much you try and make it out to be. Call of Duty isn't a super serious game, its meant to be fun.

[QUOTE="orb_03_2006"]I don't care for duel wielding. I just won't use the feature. simple enough.Bl3ss_The_F4ll

I really doubt that this will be that effective. Particularly because you cant use the sights, which will effectively give this 'perk' or whatever the range of a shotgun.

If you don't like it, then cut out the smart remarks:

seankane

Did I make this topic? How am I making it any more or less a big deal than anybody elsein the thread, including yourself? I'm stating my opinion that dual-wielding is out of character for the game. You're saying it isn't. Tell me how I'm making any more a big deal out of this than anyone else.

There's an MP44 in Modern Warfare 2? That's stupid too.

Hey, saw this as I was reading through the thread:

And what about martyrdom like that is realistic ?

Maxmus050

Here's some trivia for you: When soldiers clear an enemy casualty, they check specifically for grenades set to explode under the corpse. So that's not exactly like martydom, but it's kinda similar. Maybe that's where they got the idea.

OMG! Haven't even heard of this before I read this thread! Sounds pretty stupid to me... Except if they make it realistic. (no grenades, no knife, aiming not steady / inaccurate, and they should also remove the crosshair to make it even more difficult and stuff like that...) Then I guess it would be... ok..? :?

In my opinion they shouldn't allow it at all in multiplayer, unless it is realistic, but instead of that, they could make it an unlockable bonus for beating the game on Veteran..? Like, after you beat it on Veteran, you can dual wield in the campaign mode and do some other crazy stuff like that. (of course, only if you choose the play with the bonuses on)

LOL. However, I think this whole dual wielding poop only CONFUSES everybody and the feature WILL have both lovers and haters... It's gonna be like martyrdom!!! :) (which I hate... :D)

Why are we so sure it's pistols. Can I have dual MP5's? Only then will I think that it's worth it. Otherwise it's just lame. It just doesn't seem very Call of Duty like to me.Mau-Justice

I should qualify some of my remarks here: I think dual-wielding is stupid and out of place in the campaign. Do whatever in mutliplayer. The point of multiplayer is to provide a competitive online experience. You can do that while including stuff like a StG44. However, in the story, **** should make sense. You don't need US Marines or British SAS walking around with World War II era weapons (which they didn't), or firing guns like they're in a John Woo movie.

well the duel wielding is surposed to be a perk called modern cowboy. its also only surposed to be for pistols. EmperorZeruel

As for dual-wielding, people here have already said it's probably a perk, and you can't look down the sights, so i'm ok with it. Hell, it may be cool to dual wield desert eagles on my last stand. Horrificly inaccurate, but still cool. Personally I'd rather have a perk that lets me carry another gun (G3+Silenced MP5=WINTASTIC) instead of a pistol. I'm more concerned about how one is going to be shooting down an AC-130 once it gets called into a multiplayer game.

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?
