...but I really like the idea of dual weapons. So how about this:

1: Dual weapons would be either a 1 point cert or a post-BR20 ability. It would allow people in Agile, standard, or infiltration armor to use two pistols or knives at once.

2:There would be two overlapping COFs, each double size, and you could have two modes of fire (one firing at the same time, one alternating.)

3: In an infiltration suit, firing two weapons at the same time will make you twice as visible as with just one weapon, which means that although secondary+two knives+melee booster would be an instagib, you would become very visible, and if there were any more people in the area it would be obvious, and the infils cover would be blown.

4:With a reload you have the option of reloading just one or both, but reloading both at the same time would take twice as long.

5: The two pistols are sort of with eachother, so they take up just 1 holster slot but you have to draw both at once.

6: Maybe multiple inventory choices would be added (like double-beamer, double-amp, etc), or you could just add the pistols together (like if you have, say, a repeater in your pistol slot, you get an AMP and put it on the repeater, and they get combined into a repeater and amp).

7: Only things that go in the pistol slot and knives would be eligible for this.

so, what do you think?

Why would anyone want to waste a slot just for a dual weapon?

well, i think it would depend on the skills of the players but... the sweeper guy, scince the Beamer sucks. If it was two repeaters, then i think it would be an even match...

I don't like the idea of giving more killing power to infiltrators... the pre req of this should be that you can have 2 pistols in the first place... so this should be limited to Agile and Rexo only if done at all...

Infiltrators will be getting a second pistol slot as a Beyond BR 20 ability.

/me gets the flamethrower

The only argument as to why dual pistols should be in the game is "it'd look cool." Everything else is against the idea.

well if u had dual aces u could set up a spitfire and a motion detector at the same time. it could cut down on time it takes CE to set up defense ;)
dual reks could maybe shoot people in the eyes and blind them
dual grenades would be nightmarishly unbalancing though
infiltrators having 2 pistols= murder in certain situations
then again in those same situations they'd be murder using 1 pistol
infiltrators wouldn't be able to frckin fly and shoot lazers outta their eyes. the only real unbalance would be magscatters

John Woo says: Yes.

magic 8-ball says: Signs point to no.

Devs say: they don't want to render dualies pose for every armor and empire, build the option, and create the sounds for it.

Do you honestly believe that? Give me dual pistols (any pistols, Beamer included) and I will quadruple my kill/death ratio at a minimum. Dual pistols would be a massive unbalancing.

i do really like the idea and would love to see it in the game....but.....
i can see all the problems it would cause so i have to say...no

unless there was some new dodgy daul handed pistol that was common pool and wasnt to powerful, then maybe.....
