I'm still baffled when people think that dual guns are some sort of update in gaming. They've been around FOREVS.
I see your point, and it leaves me wondering why they decided until now to unveil such a thing. All the various odd comic book superpowers available to you in the game, and the ability to dual wield pistols is only coming out now?
Well I remember reading when they introduced archery that they were going by the demand of the comic book audience. Like at the tiem archery was more common than magnetic powers. While there are gun toting heroes, represented in the blaster class, duel handguns isn't the most common setup. Yes deadpool does use pistols but he's more known for the swords, the Punisher has used about every gun combination someone with two hands can, and there's that guy from the wildcats who uses two pistols. It's just not that common.
Also, a bit of a divergence, is anyone else watching the bbc Robin Hood show?
SPOILER ALERT
I'm having some big problems with this season. First of all, they're really leaning heavy on the people doing bad things for sympathetic reasons angle. Secondly, they've done a complete 180 with the women on the show. They traded in Djaq, the tough and worldwise medic, and Marion, who fucking kickboxed guys in plate armor, for some girl who's job it is to get captured every week and another who switches sides so often you need a scorecard.
