Earlier yesterday during a GameCrazy convention, Infinity Ward community manager, FourZeroTwo, decided to show the crowd one of the new features added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Modern Warfare 2 will allow players to go Akimbo with select weapons.
Sure, it's nothing exceptionally ground breaking in the world of videogames, but it is a new addition to the Modern Warfare universe. That should appeal to some people out there, right?
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.
