It's something, I guess. It really doesn't solve the issue... I've still been sprayed from crazy distances. I would have survived with Focus on, so maybe it's my fault.

I give them credit for taking action, but how does it make sense that having two guns lowers their rate of fire? Just remove akimbo from the mps.

I don't think it'll make a difference to what the devs do to the secondary akimbo machine pistols. I think they should stop bothering to tweak them from now on & start focusing on other tweaks & balance issues in the game.

The mistake was including it in the game in the first place.

To me, it makes the "Overkill" perk a bit of an underused perk. Not completely useless but just not used compared to players with akimbo machine pistols.

You do realize that by firing even just a little slower it makes them even a stronger weapon right? By firing slower those with decent aim can still kill people but now do so using less ammo, meaning they have more rounds left to use on more players for more kills.

In close and short range, they still will dominate over a smg or ar, only the aa-12 or striker really has a chance against them if you flank them. Dead on face to face, they can still burn you down almost as fast.

The only reason some players may have moved form them, is that it takes a little more ability at aiming now to use them to the max potential that they have. And many players do not have that ability or accuracy to do so.

I can still use them in DZ and terrorize the enemy team with them because of how they work.

Using them in infected they seemed a lot crummier.

Why is it difficult to nerf these akimbo pistols. I'm still annoyed by these guns. This is what they need to do.

-Wider hip spread. Make the hip spread the default size of the akimbo handguns from MW2, MK14, or LMGs without steady aim. Akimbo handguns are fine in MW3.

-Reduce the damage and range of the machine pistols to 20-15 . It's ridiculous they are on par with SMGs. They easily outgun shotguns which are primary weapons. I honestly think machine pistols should out-gun a primary shotgun unless they made shotguns secondaries again.

Just started using M9 single today. It kills like a primary.
