I've been playing a LOT lately... and I can honestly say I don't notice any reload "penalty" while dual wielding. I suppose it's possible but I haven't really noticed it. I am curious now and will ask the designers if there's an intentional delay in reloading for the sake of balancing or not.
Dual Wielding is a blast. Literally. It really adds a new layer of strategy to the game. To dual or not to dual, that is the question. Over the course of a given game my weaponry changes numerous times depending on the situation. If I'm out of grenades, naturally I'll dual wield whenever possible (why not?) Sometimes I'm dual wielding and I'll drop a gun, lob a few grenades into a nearby tunnel, then return to dual wielding again. Personally I really like the extra depth of always thinking about which guns I have, which guns I can grab and which combination is best for the current situation. Keep in mind this "analysis" happens in about 1 second while dodging death. It becomes very natural to move between single and dual wielding using a variety of weapons over the course of a match.
hey man, is playin now funner than when you first started, or has it kind of ruined the surprise for you (unlikely).
