To f**king bad for you!  Maybe it was I who ruined your killstreak or MOAB run... Once again to f**king bad....   This is one reason I use these guns is to take down asshats like yourself.  Nothing like hearing you complain here or on your mic about getting your ass handed to you.  You didnt complain when YOU were "on a rampage" against the other players, just when you got killed, once again to f**king bad....

The spread isn't the problem, the damage is, if they increased the spread they would still be just as effective on maps like mission, and would still beat smg's and shotguns (striker needs nerfing too) But if they lowered the damage to where the mp9's are, they would be fine. An even better solution would be to just remove akimbo from the game, it sounded cool for 1-2 days when they announced it for MW2, ever since it's just being an annoying atachment that only scrubs use to annoy people, since they aren't good enough to win against them.

I always said it, so I'll say it again.

Infinity Ward appeals more towards the newbie players.  That's why they brought back Deathstreaks, and allow Machine Pistols to be used as secondaries (with akimbo).

Now when the next Treyarch game is released, we'll probably only see Handguns and Launchers as secondaries, because at least those devs are smart about balance. 

They know, that (aside launchers), secondary weapons aren't supposed to be better than primaries.  Hence, they should be used as a back-up, in case the primary fails.

Well they are patched now with a high upwards kick and a wider hipspread. Still work as inteded on short ranges though.

I think they made a good job. The reason for having a secondary is because it is supposed to help you in a way your primary can not at close range.

They should be strong enough to make some players choose them instead of Anti Aicraft weapons.

But since the fix I have had no more problems with them like I had before. When I carried a high level shotgun I never had a problem with enemies carried FMGs even before patch since you´d just put on grip+range and steady aim. If anybody fired at me I could kill them by pressing the firebutton without having to ads.

Now I find the best thing is to strafe and flank them fast, it gets me out of most Akimbo situations. If I am in a lobby with a lot of akimbo users I switch to a class with extreme conditioning and Stalker so that I can stafe real fast while having my sights up. Now after a couple of days of training I run circles around them .

It's kind of funny how akimbo FMG9s are better weapons than at least half the primaries in this game.  But it only reinforces the point that IW is and always will be a second-rate developer to Treyarch, the studio that actually knows how to make a competitive, fun mutliplayer experience that can be taken seriously.  I still play more Black Ops than MW3, it's a lot more fun being able to play a game without things like akmimbo FMG9s, Type 95's with rapid fire, and deathstreaks.

They are overpowered.  Takes zero skill to hold down two buttons the second you see an enemy (no aim required).  Especially when you're owning another team and they all strap 'em on and mess up a MOAB streak.

i completely agree, i would have had 100 moabs about 3 months ago, but right now i have 99 and struglle so much to find a mtach where people are not using them, and if  they are using it, i just can't ******* do it! Do they think the are good? What the ****?

My opinion is that akimbo weapons are overpowered no matter which gun you're using. Even the semi auto pistols are just so spammable at close range that they slay with ease.

Solution is simple. Handguns should not be akimbo. Machine Pistols should have a range no greater than the shotguns. To pay for the imense fire power you get with two fully automatic mini SMGs you should have a massive deduction in range AND accuracy.

I hate them aswell but Mission is the only level I dont mind them in. I use the Model 9/10 times on that map and I PWN akimbo nubs hard with it.
