Dual Pistols

Shadow58 · December 2010

How about when using the armory instead on showing the pistol in there, how about including a permant for the round upgrade, to carry dual pistols, shouldn't be to hard to include, have it as a instant able to buy, no need for research, just let it cost like 44points or something. everyone likes dual pistols, perhaps it'll encourage people to use it more.

Heh. I don't hate it.

shadow you might want to start using the search just about everything you've suggest has been suggested and discussed many many times before. and a lot of time its already in the game :)

Shadow58 · January 2011

yeah, But ehh, I'm running out of idea's and some havn't been mentioned. My bad on the ones that have however.
But well, this one isn't(in game) so, what you think, sounds good yea?

Shadow58 · January 2011

besides I've found it quite hard to find Dual being used for pistols.

schkorpio · January 2011

yeah its not easy to search, but have a look at the sticky topic explaining google-fu, it works really well once you know how this crazy search works.

also no i don't like the idea of dual pistols - i don't think it adds anything unique to the game, each weapon has a purpose, and other than a matrix cool factor which doesn't really belong in ns2 it just doesn't do anything that another weapon already does.

would add some variety to the early game

switch axe atm is pretty useless

Harimau · January 2011

Make switch-ax more useful imo.

louis cardinal · January 2011

(hey how about we pay XX plasma to carry duel shotguns? then we can...)

really i dont think its possible, especially in terms of being accurate.

another use for switch axe is nice.

We already get Dual Minigun on the Exoskeleton last I heard...

TuTLook · January 2011

As far as I know, the pistol is supposed to be your long range weapon due to its high accuracy. Dual wielding makes your shots to be extremely inaccurate, so...

Deadzone · January 2011

Dual pistols just doesn't seem like it fits the atmosphere of NS2 if you ask me. Games like the L4D series or many F2P shooters out there that don't take themselves too seriously can get away with a little bit, but a game like NS2 has to nail the feel. I just don't see it, I guess.

You get points for spelling "dual" right, though.

Harimau · January 2011

What's wrong with pistol duels, Deadzone?

Deadzone · January 2011

pistol duels = :D
duel pistols = D:
duel with/of/using/by/via/lol pistols = :D

I'd be happy to have a "pistol duel" with you anyday, harimaru. *nudge nudge wink wink*

Kouji_San · January 2011

Akimbo pistols?

L34D · January 2011

hiho,
dito to DeadZone, schkorpio :D

dual pistols destroy the atmosphere.
If you want "dual pistol action" play max payne 1/2, Crysis or watch films like die hard. :D

DualPistols fits to games like COD, CSS or other FPS but NS2 isnÂ´t a "real" FPS. NS2 is much slower.

If Natural Selection 2 gets dual pistols then UWE can implement slowmotion and a coversystem too. -.- And we have another FPS which is more like COD or other hardcore shooter.

Mkilbride · January 2011

Lol, dude, as someone else said, we have dual minigun wielding guys in giant power armor.

And NS2 is slower paced than DOD? CSS? LOL, WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING? The game is often much faster and hardcore than the mentioned games, which is WHY it scares away alot of players.

Deadzone · January 2011

It's slower than a twitch shooter (Unreal series, most of TF2, quake) and faster than a tactical shooter. Speed really isn't the issue, I just don't see a hardened space marine taking dulies over his trusty rifle. A pistol is a back-up. It's a sidearm. Using both hands on pistols when you could use them both to hold a rifle seems silly. If you can't use one arm or can't use your rifle, THAT's when you go for the smaller, less accurate, slower firing, shorter ranged weapon with a smaller clip size.

While I've never seen real combat, I've never seen a marine or any trained soldier favor dual pistols. Seeing that happen in NS2 would break the feel UWE's been cultivating.

Shadow58 · January 2011

yeah I guess so, but it would be cool for a fun, atm thing to have, and perhaps include later as a upgrade for those shooters out there that rather spray and pray. lets face it, Dual Desert Eagles looks bad-ass
But yeah I see how if you're serous on getting an accurate shot you'd go for a single pistol, exactly why an alternative of the gun would be nice & handy.

Now to end this, Dual minigun cool but probably gonna take a while to impliment, and why not have minigun singular for not having exo, yeah know what I mean.
