It’d be great to duel wield flintlocks as part of the PvP Meta game.
Duel-Wield flintlock pistols and cutlasses
@capn-gucci right so get to pistols one in each hand but loose the ability to aim and you go through ammo faster still only have five shots..with swords you can’t block
@capn-gucci
I dont see how it works properly. You would hit/shoot with RM instead of aiming/blocking?@otherfanboy I'm not saying you have two out at the same time. I just meant the ability to instead of flintlock and eye of reach. Just two flintlocks.
@cptnpotbeard ohhh got it but you put “duel-wield” in the title so I thought using 2 pistols at the same time which sounds like fun
@capn-gucci
It'd be really cool, but also really unbalanced.
Also, how does a pirate with a hook dual wield?@ottyman8687 said in Duel-Wield flintlock pistols and cutlasses:
No
It would be dumb to limit it to pistol only.
So you would need double blunder
And double EoR
And swords are already busted can you imagine having 2?
Man I really hope your comment is satire...
Double blunder and sniper just wouldn't make sense since they're the "heavy" weapons of the game and use 2 hands to hold, it'd make no sense to duel wield guns just because they don't feel left out.
Also I think the team down at Rare would actually realise that 2 swords wouldn't be just wielding two swords and leaving all the other stats the same. They are the professional game developers after all, have SOME hope they can balance the game properly rather than just duplicating the weapon to your other hand...

No it wasn't...BUT I think I misunderstood the post.

I assumed that it meant holding two at the same time as in you empty one then switch to the next. So 10 blundershots or 10 EoR shots. And THAT was what I though would be a bit OP.

Yes that is true
@capn-gucci dual guns was one of the main reasons why I stopped playing CoD online...so with Modern Warfare 2

The ability two shoot to shots instantly is what breaks this in terms of balance, aim be damned. It would immediately outshine the blunderbuss and virtually everything else.

@cptnpotbeard and double the reload time
Reload won't matter if you can still kill your target instantly.

@galactic-geek right great question how do they duel wield? let’s be fair with two pistols the hit reg will only pick up both shoots like 60% of the time and with a moving target your not going to always land both anyways sure some will get good enough to land both but it won’t be everyone

Hit-reg is a networking factor, not a weapon balance factor, and therefore should not even be considered in this discussion. As for whether or not a pirate misses, largely depends on the accuracy of the weapon and the skill of the pirates involved. I can't imagine it would be hard to miss 2 instantaneous shots at close range as a sword weilder charges you.
@galactic-geek to be fair the hit reg was a joke and I do like the idea but I don’t every see it being added more than likely if we get any new weapons it might be a knife there’s already a model for one

I'm down for a dagger and/or an axe - that would make 3 firears and 3 melee.
