Ok so there are desert eagles, but do you think that when you pick up two weapons of the same type, for example: 2 mp5s
Should you be able to use them both at the same time ie. both weapons up. This may seem a little too powerful at first but there would be possibly some kind of power "dampener."
Either they:
>use the same ammo size ie. if you have 2 mp5s it use the same clip size as a single mp5
>have some kind of recoil effect, due to the immense power the guns exert on both of the users hands, thereby lowering accuracy.
or
>the "akimbo mode" is only able to be used after you have been lowered to a certain health percentage (yet to be decided).

so what do you think?
By the way I'm new to these boards so I'm not quite sure if this idea has been discussed before

Thank you.

I think there should be only a few Akimbo weapons, namely DEagles, MP5's, SOCOMs and Knifes.

You should start with one, and if you find a second one it makes you have 2 as soon as you walk over it.

Downsides: Slower reload, you have to reload two weapons here. (doesn't apply for knives)
Double recoil
No added power, make them not shot simultaneously.

quote:I think there should be only a few Akimbo weapons, namely DEagles, MP5's, SOCOMs and Knifes. hmm 2 DEagles? WOW i dont know that my soldat got 4 hands ;D but would be funny... the human stat gun with 4 deserteagles :) raaaattaaaatatatatatatatata

Oops, my bad. I was probably thinking of SOCOMs, which I also listed.

Ok, ok...but if you had 2 mp5's and it used the same amount of ammo for both guns...then what would be the point of having two of them?

u shoot one gun empty then instead of reload u shoot with the other

But with added recoil, wouldnt you just rather have an Aug?

Double-fire would surely be better.

yea! i'd like havin my USSOCOM's take turns fireing. twould be 1338. DEagles: you start out old-school, 1 DEagle! then when you pick up another, oyu got the 1.1.5 Deagles.

double fire would be awsom.

I suggeted this once, but anyway..

Good idea! but as said before, only a couple of weapons.
(Like minimi and AK and stery)

And you would pick it up automaticly, when you walk over it!

I guess 2 better than 1..

nah, not nearly every weapon, as normal weapons, wouldn't be good i think, but why not as a powerup?

have you been playing the specialists o.O Btw good idea [:)]

You would have to rely on the weapons dropped by other players, Its an interesting idea but it seems to have more of a place in a game where you pick up all of your weapons in the levels, rather than one where you choose your weapons before entering.

Ok, thanks for the feedback guys it is much appreciated. There are some inherit problems with this idea, but it's still in the works at this moment. If you have any ideas for balancing this idea so that it would work better/more efficiently then it would be appreciated if you suggested them.

Imho the akimbo mode would work very well as a support option for ctf matches ie. providing covering fire for your teammates when they storm an opposing base. I think that if a player took the time to actually find another weapon of the same kind then he should be rewarded for his efforts. And thus to counter this move the other team would (logically) start choosing different weapons to prevent the other team from gaining an advantage. This would possibly help to stem the tide of barret noobs.

the weapons should shot both in the same time so it will give the player some real advantage. but, i think that the accuracy should be lower and the spray wider (its harder to handle a weapon in one hand only).

Make a gun which has better rapid fire as mp5 and more power than the barret and then see how we prevail.

I wanna be able to have a gun in each hand, at least for the mp5 and barret. Or any others than michal adds that are reasonably small.

Make it so we have all rapid fire m79's >:(

double barrets???ahhhh!!!! no!!!! i hate one!!!
but...double miniguns!!!! sweet!!! that would be so 1337 cuz you would kick like hell
your arms would fly off

Yeah! What a great idea.. I like it.. Double barret might be fun, but you wouldn't have accuracy at all, would shot randomly.. And double miniguns.. That would be crazy :D

well i reckon it should make you alot slower

I mentioned this before and got mixed interest...use the search to dig it up and read the comments if you're interested.
