I just hope it doesnt put you off buying it, think about it SoD didnt have a multiplayer and it was your game of the year. It just feels like people ask for something and when it comes along they dont buy it. Duel Wielding. GOD I MISS DUEL WIELDING!!! I'm rambling but my point is that I think we need an FPS that blends old and new mechanics, taking the best of old and new and make it a retail release...... What you said here is pretty much exactly what Wolfenstein will be but you sound as if you wont buy it for some reason?

Oh I didn't want to give you that idea. This is the guy that has Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Skyrim, Arkham City, and OOT, on his top ten list. All single-player games. I'm surprised SoD got another patch just last week. I love that. Support gives me faith in a game. I'm just being cautious so I don't get let down. This game seems to be promising things I don't want to get excited for in fear that we end up with an overpriced COD clone, again. Sorry. I been burned a few times.
Positive side: The team behind this game sounds to have the right idea. I really really hope the FPS genre can work itself into a place where the CODs and clones, the Halos and clones, and the everything else like Half Life and Time Splitters can retain their identity in game-play and that will be okay. For some reason the industry things it's "not okay" if Halo still plays like Halo and Far Cry still plays like Far Cry. Now Far Cry and Halo are both more like COD than ever before. This could be the start of something.
Most importantly: I'm seeing ADS and sprinting in Wolfenstein and that could be okay IF classic game-play mechanics like duel wielding far outweigh dependance on the aforementioned mechanics. I don't want/need massive battlefields that require ADS and Sprinting for the sake of accuracy and saving time and shortening down-time respectively. ESPECIALLY in a single-player only game. They need to pull everything in and make it personal.

I like the way Borderlands 2 had the class who's special attack was dual wielding, and the button that would normally let you ADS turned into the trigger button for the other gun... It kinda makes sense, 'cus if you were holding a rifle, you'd naturally wanna ADS to shoot someone, but if you were holding TWO rifles, you'd spray and pray like it was the last day of the world

As long as your rewarded for duel wielding. If I'm fireing two machine guns at once I should feel like twice the badass not get shot up because I suddenly think I'm rambo due to extra fire power. Just saying if there is no advantage to duel wielding then its pointless to even have it. Its why I never duel wield in MW2. Its more likely to just get you killed faster.

Well the previews I have read say you die really easy due to the Nazis being really aggressive and swarming you all the time. I need to watch more gameplay. If gameplay says I can rush in akimbo but keep dieing because of it. If that's the case I might as well play it like fox with constant ADS in tight corners. Most of the gameplay I have seen they rarely use ADS and the Nazis go down easy enough. IDK. I don't want it to be easy and everything I have seen* makes it look like it's easy enough to kill the fodder nazis and that's fine. I wish I had more info.
Edit: Finally having time to sit down and watch a few demos. I really just want the ADS to be a means of zoom in far away enemies for better player accuracy but i don't want the gun to actually lose accuracy because I'm not using ADS. I like the idea of being able to carry every weapon and duel wielding most of them. Also the health system looks right. The regen to 20% makes sure you have a fighting chance to either make a run for the next health pack or be ultra conserative to make due with that 20%. I love the corridor shooting because that's where duel wielding works best and I love destructibility in these types of shooters too. I don't need to level buildings but when glass breaks as it should I can't help but smile.
P.S. this game im kinda excited for now.

All we need is gibbing, body parts flying off, blood everywhere, guts, etc., and it'll be amazing.

I think ADS is going to be unavoidable, but as you say as long as the game is more of a run and gun game it shouldnt really matter. You are very right not to get your hopes up I am with you there! I does tick a lot of boxes tho.... Wait and see I guess.
I found out that my wife if going to buy me a Zelda WW edition Wii U for Christmas which is cool because I was going to get one at some point anyway!

Man, I ALWAYS dual-wielded in MW2... Akimbo rangers for close combat, never failed Which is why when I picked up MW3 I never went back to MW2. I hated the bitch slap those things delivered from the campers every time I went in-doors. You were either out in the open or wasting time checking corners. When I think duel wield I think pistols or SMGs. Not the highly impractical sawed off shotgun. Sorry, noticed this thread kinda dies with that comment.
