Ok, so you are probably already aware that MW2 is coming out 11/10/09 and is poised to be one of the biggest selling video games of all time. Combine the already massive anticipation with the push back of almost every other game and you get what will be THE GAME to have this holiday season.
And as the days grow closer, more details squeak out. Today, we got to see the existance of Dual Wielding pistols! Desert Eagles to be exact (or Deagles as they are commonly referred). This information comes to us via the GameCrazy Convention where community manager FourZeroTwo was presenting a portion of the single player demo. Here is an excerpt from the Modern Warfare forums. Sounds good to me!
"Akimbo is NOT the perk in the new MP trailer this week.
I was presenting a singleplayer mission at the GameCrazy show this morning on stage and happened to walk over a body that had Akimbo (dual wield side arm), therefore the icon for the weapon popped up on screen and the room went crazy with chants demanding I pick it up and use it.
So I did.
Happened to be dual Deagles. Now to calm some initial fears of "OMG! Overpowered!". Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like EVERYTHING in the game. It's limited to sidearms, harder to aim than standard and you can't go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand; Among other balancing techniques, so don't freak out before you see it in action.
It's cool."
I'll be back with more information as it becomes available.
