    SWEET. I don't think it'll be overpowered. No more so than the Deagle already is compared to the rest of the pistols in MW. It works in Halo.

    More info:
    Infinity Ward has confirmed dual-wield guns for Modern Warfare 2, and demonstrated the 'Akimbo' ability using 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," Tweeted Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward's community voice.

    In a post on the Modern Warfare 2 forums, Bowling added:

    "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," he said. "So don't freak out before you see it in action."

    Such is the fervour around Modern Warfare 2 that Mad Catz has made some special accessories for the game, which range from $15 to $100 to buy. There are controllers, keyboards, faceplates and even a throat communicator - a microphone that straps around the neck for clear and uncluttered voice communication. The army use them

    Well, maybe you could describe Toughy as a weapon of mass destruction, he certainly kills enough people.

    Yup we sure did until we realised how lame it was.
    If i recall correctly we had hardcore for about 3 weeks after the games initial release, then went back to normal.
    I havent played it properly in almost a year or more apart from the odd game every couple of months or so.
    fps games just bore me recently, must be getting ould :P
