Modern Warfare 2 gets dual-wield weapons
Bowling reveals Akimbo
Word on the street this afternoon has it that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be getting dual-wield weapons. Called the 'Akimbo' ability, developer Infinity Ward showed the player brandishing two Desert Eagle weapons.
"Just walked off stage. Crowd was amazing, went insane chanting 'pick it up!' when I stumbled over dual-wield Deagles. lol - Akimbo confirmed," designer Robert Bowling told Twitter.
The game maker makes a point of assuring that this feature will not unbalance the experience.
"Now to calm some initial fears of 'OMG! Overpowered!' Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like everything in the game. It's limited to side-arms, harder to aim than standard and you can't go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand. So don't freak out before you see it in action," Bowling assured.
More from the world of Modern Warfare 2 soon.
