Now to calm some initial fears of &#8220;OMG! Overpowered!&#8221;. Akimbo is limited and balanced, just like EVERYTHING in the game. It&#8217;s limited to sidearms, harder to aim than standard and you can&#8217;t go ADS (aim down sights) since you have a weapon in each hand; Among other balancing techniques, so don&#8217;t freak out before you see it in action.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>ommunity feedback has thus far been mixed, with some players stating that the dual wield option is unrealistic and others expressing excitement about the new feature.<\/p>\n<p>One user has this to say on <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5344759\/modern-warfare-2-doubles-your-shooting-pleasure\" target=\"_self\">Kotaku<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I doubt it is going to cause much imbalance in all honesty.
