SinceI played Lara Croft the first time I'm a big fan of dual wielding I'm a bit sad that less and less shooters that are released nowadays don't have this feature anymore. Whenever I play something like Payday 2 or even Watch Dogs I always imagine how cool it would be to use two pistols or SMGs at the same time and gun down your enemies. I'm ok that some franchises like Battlefield or ArmA don't have it, but even unrealistic shooters like Call of Duty, Crysis 2&3, Titanfall. Hell even Lara had to discard her dual pistols in favour of a bow. The only modern game with dual wielding I know of (except the CoD multiplayer) is Wolfenstein The New Order. And hell yeah, it was a lot of fun playing the demo at Gamescom last year and gunning down Nazis with my dual shotguns. I wnat more of these moments back in shooters.

The Darkness II also have dual wielding. Oh, and Blood, of course. Still hoping for a remake.

There's dual weilding in Killing Floor for all the sharpshooter pistols as well as the firebug's flare revolvers.

Ugh, Darkness 2. Don't remind me of that crap.

But dual wielding is still alive as much as it used to be btw. You just need to know where to look for it.

Shadow Warrior has it but using the katana is about 10 times more fun. ROTT has it but it's really poorly made anyways. If you really want to have fun shooting two guns pick up Max Payne 3 on sale, the game is a masterpiece.

The worst dual wield I have ever seen was in halo 2. Terrible game btw, still played the hell out of it though because it was just about the only thing to do at grandma's house.

As fun as it is and making you feel like a badass shooting two smg's into a room after blowing the door up. It's much easier and effective to use shotguns.

Maybe they got rid of it because it was OP. Duel wielding Needlers in Halo was pretty OP...the Needler in general is OP.

Left 4 Dead 2 lets you dual wield pistols, so does Just Cause. Other then that though... I've got nothing.

Dual Berettas from Counter Strike?

Those are useless so it doesn't count.

Hmm... I think the new Wolfenstein has dual wielding?

Yeah, all weapons are duel-wieldable in that game. Dual weilding shotties is pretty awesome.

Maybe game developers think dual wielding is getting a bit stale?

More likely balancing issues.

Agreed but still a fun weapon to use.
-spiker weapon was utter garbage.

Depends. My main Borderlands character is a Siren built around SMGs, which I use for almost everything. I don't even carry a shotgun around -- 4 SMGs, 2 Sniper Rifles, 1 Rocket Launcher. Of the 4 weapon slots, 3 are usually used by SMGs, the 4th is kind of the "special purpose" slot that gets a Sniper or the Rocket Launcher when I need them. Or just the 4th SMG.

Now, she can't dual-wield. She doesn't need to, though. I'm not entirely sure about the max potential on the weapons, but both my Anarchy and my Hellfire must be pretty close to "perfect". Of course, it never hurts to pump out more damage -- but I'm not even sure that it would REALLY help. My perfect mat3 mercenary mod can almost keep up with the ammo consumption, so the short breaks between enemies are usually enough (Crawmerax is the only guy where I might actually have to take a longer break to regenerate ammo, although I'm now trying to get more bullets to hit to avoid that). I'm not sure whether dual-wielding SMGs would actually let me kill twice as quickly, as the Hellfire and the Anarchy cover somewhat distinct scenarios. I might just be pumping out more bullets for little benefit...

He uses dual revolvers which are fun. Ebony and Ivory ♥
Guns in Devil May Cry games only work ok on the weakest enemies in the game. So that is the least fun game to use the guns in.

Depends on which Devil May Cry you play. I confess, I just have 1 and 3, but in Devil May Cry I finished most of the game with the default pistols. It takes a lot of time once in a while to kill certain demons and I had to use my melee weapons in the last boss fight, but it's doable.
