You know, I never thought of that. How would players look holding weapons, that they normally hold with 2 hands?

Ever play perfect dark?

as long as they can shoot em who cares what they look like..

He's probably referring to the animations in-game. Well to answer that, we would need to make custom animations so that the 3rd person model is holding two guns, instead of how it would be right now, which would be holding one (even though the player has dual weapons). Which as you can imagine would cause quite a few problems with you not knowing what your enemy is fighting with.

So, to answer that. Yes we are making custom animations, and duals won't be avaibable for a little while because of this.

Will there be a complete animation for reloading two weapons, something in the likes of the Elites from CS? Only in third person, that is.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but... I noticed that dual wield support was not available as of the final release. Is this functionality still in the pipeline? Will it be like GE64 where you can hold a rocket launcher in one hand and a KF7 in the other? Wishful thinking, I know... but that would be awesome.

Thanks guys! This mod is freakin awesome.

v4.1 isn't the final release by a long shot.

You will see dual wielding in GE:S. Whether its implementation is a limited selection for MP, or a full all weapon system. Or possibly no dual wielding in MP, just SP, its all still to be decided and tested. Rest assure, what ever choice that is decided, all ways will be tested and options weighed thoroughly.

[djzeratul]

Sweet! Thanks for the prompt response. I will look forward to whatever options may become available.

I would suggest maybe a server flag... I know a lot of my friends wouldn't mind playing MP with dual wield, because we just play for fun. But I know it would cause balance issues on tournament servers or servers with a lot of whiners.

Oh man, hahaha. Dual Wielding... I'd almost forgotten about that!

Did Goldeneye 64 do anything special when dual wielding, like reduce the overall damage of both guns to balance out having that additional firepower? Or did it just give you two guns and double the damage potential? I can't recall any more...

[VC]

Two guns yes, double damage potential, not really.  The invulnerability system is still in effect.  However, since chump guards have little/no invuln time, duals mowed their asses down.

There is a mechanic behind the triggers, when you hold FIRE, the second gun fires shortly after the first gun starts firing.

[namajnaG]

For what I remember, The original MP did not have dual-wield.

[V!NCENT]

Dual Phantoms! (only for the sake of nostalgia at frigate)

I'm with the dual wielding, of course... But personally I would have huge problems if it would include 2 firing buttons, because I already had to remap keys. Ever since I started to paly FPS games on the PC, I used Mouse2 to jump, and Space to aim. I can't recall why, but I think that used to be default in some older games, so I got used to it, and remapped every time in new games where Mouse2 was aiming button. In CoD, I was surprised and disappointed by that feature. You can fire each gun separately, but only when you have default control settings, Mouse1 fires left gun, Mouse2 fires right gun. On my settings, where are just these two buttons exchanged (Mouse2 and Space button), Space fires the right gun so many times I got confused which gun I'm firing. They've should make a script that recognizes if player changes controls, to map the gun controlling based on key positions. Or at least, in Control settings menu, separated dual wielding key mapping. Think about it.

Personally i think that the only weapons that should be duel wielded are:
Pistols like PP7 and Moonraker Laser

[Jonathon [SSL]]

The main issue with dualies (from what I understand) is just that we don't have the correct model source files to effectively flip the weapon models/animations. I spent a few months with that as one of my main tasks, attempting to write scripts to flip animations and meshes properly  and possibly to make multiple arm meshes possible.

Unfortunately, since all our content is so old and the only way to get the sources is through reverse-engineering our compiled models, I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.

However, the future may hold bigger and better things...

Dual moonrakers would be insane. In fact, I'm not sure I'd WANT to see that in effect... You can completely dominate with just one as it is now
