At the GameCrazy gaming event held in the U.S., Robert Bowling, stepped over a pair of desert eagles while showing a demo of MW2. The crowd immediately went insane and started chanting "pick it up" according to his recent twitter post. So, this confirms that we now have the ability to wield dual pistols.

Twitter Post:
"Just walked off stage. Crowd was amazing, went insane chanting "pick it up!" when I stumbled over Dual-wield Deagles. lol - Akimbo confirmed"


"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."
