i was thinking more on the lines of more melee range, but slower animation

Doesnt necessarily have to be a 1hit kill maybe 2-3 shots that way like you said it isnt that easy to take out soldiers but it still makes them have to be concious and moving around not just rolling through out in the open like rambo because of the danger of being killed quickly. I dont really think it will be as easy as people think to get headshots in Brink with the S.M.A.R.T system and cover in place as well.

not those frigging akimbo pistols of mw2 again>.<

If dual wielding where to work, it would have to be dual wielding whatever weapons that characters size can use as a secondary weapon at the cost of no primary weapon, but I think this would be pointless. Perhaps no dual wielding for lights, double pistols as a secondary for mediums and double smgs for a heavy?

I want dual miniguns.

Well if you are using secondaries as dual wieldable:
Lights pistols
Mediums SMGs or rifles
Heavy Assault RIfle or Shotguns

Everyone knows dual wielding shotguns is stupid and most of the other guns on that list.

The only thing that makes sense is pistols and it shouldnt since it upsets game balance.



You would and it would be awesome.

No, I'm saying as a secondary weapon, you could choose to dual wield the weapon below the best weapon you can use as a secondary. So lights wouldn't be able to dual wield, mediums would be able to dual wield pistols, and heavies would be able to dual wield SMGs and rifles, but not rifles, as they take two hands and that would just be silly. I personaly don't want dual wielding, but perhaps as an ability it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Because it takes soooo much strength just to hold another pistol for lights.

Hmm dual SMGs or a HMG and a shotgun. The choice is obvious. SMG or dual pistols. Until they say its in the game lets stop talking about it.

Rifles do not take 2 hands - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51CTM49rcrs
not even LMG's - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCra4qOrjFw

Didn't you ever watch Rambo?

lol, i know there's a vid on youtube with a american soldier dual-wielding some machine guns, i'd say it's plausible, but try walking with those for 5minutes while firing now and then.

i'd say, just leave dual-wield out....
mw2 put dual wield in and most people who can't aim use it..
and it's frigging hard to put them down first when you faced eachother at a short distance



edit: oh and don't forget, reloading while having both hands occupied isn't as easy as movies make you think it is.

Yeah but c'mon, how much do you realy think an extra pistol would weigh you down? It would be extremely handy too, picture this, you're running when you see an enemy in front of you. You're running anyway so you can't complain about decreased accuracy, and you're only holding a pistol so you need that pistol to be incredibly efficient. What's more efficient than one pistol for killing people on the run but two pistols? Also, nothing is cooler than rocking out with the duel magnums/ D.Eagles.

It has nothing to do with weighing you down. Its the simple fact that Lights have a limited selection of weapons for a reason. So what do you propose? Giving them an extra gun.


Why would you only be holding a pistol? Did leave your primary weapon in your locker?


That's kinda my point....

Best Duel wielding pics EVER " http://www.motivatedphotos.com/?id=7874 " and " http://www.filehurricane.com/media/2051 " (2nd pic has "profane" language (I wouldn't find it profane, but someone might, if they do i don't know what they're doing on this sight, but they might) )


Also, you reload them one at a time, ie stick it in a holster or something to give yourself a spare hand, then repeat with the other gun. And aiming isn't that hard, excepting the D/Eagles, but thats 50 cal so what do you expect, you would barely be able to fire ONE of those straight. And, if you can't aim while duel wielding, don't use 2, but don't say that the people who can aim with them shouldn't be able to use them.

ah yes, that's very much dual wielding, standing around posing for a picture...
you could just as well have given us links to youtube where we can see actors dual wielding...

If you want to see to see some epic dual wielding (among a film of pure awesome) watch

http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/haloid/57998

Namely at 5:52 but watch the whole thing it will blow your mind.

:homestar:

So I take it you liked it?

i picked that emoticon cuz it looked like it didn't care about anything
i expect some people would like a trailer like that.
as far as the dual wielding, it doesn't show much at all, and i'd say the best dual wielding would be with pistols.
but imo dual wielding=bad

Some people, well if you down like it then you lose 5 points in my opinion. Monty Oom makes awesome stuff.

I didn't say it showed lots and lots of dual wielding but H0RSE (joking) wants dual miniguns. This vid had them if even for a few seconds.

Anyway, no dual wielding cause it defeats the purpose of weaker weapons for lights. Go play MW2 or some other game if you want to dual wield,

I saw that years ago. I despised the ending. Samus doesn't role like that.

Anyway, back on topic, I think dual pistols would be cool. Just decrease the accuracy and draw time. Like in real life.

Molotovs are actually in the game now. Well, they were in the QuakeCon demo.

awsome

due to lots of requests no doubt :celebration:
every bodytype or would it be restricted to medium/light or only light?
i'm a heavy, and tbh, i don't see why a heavy would get to use the molotov, it's more like a highgrounds weapon.
light running around high above, seeing a firefight
*whistle* *crash* :flamed: *soldiers screaming in agony*

To be honest dual wielding shotguns etc like in MW2 to me is stupid.

However, if it was to be done like the OLD ET..... im talking Wolf ET akimbos here, I would be fine with it.

Basically in W:ET If you got enough XP and hit 4 stars for combat or battle sense (i cant remember which) you got akimbos.

This was never a problem to me, you had to earn them, and they were never "permanantly" there, unlike say Bad company 2 where once you get the unlock its there forever.

In ET once the map rotation was over you lost them and had to re-earn your stars (in a pub server), and for most competitions i'm pretty sure they reset the xp after each round.


So to me, Dual akimbos would be fine for a high xp reward (for EVERY class/body type), as long as it resets after each map rotation and isn't a "once i unlock akimbos ive got them forever if i pick them, no matter what server i goto".

W:ET and Quake wars had the best system for upgrades, you had to EARN them EVERY time, not just earn it once and there you go you have it forever now.
