Infinity Wards creative strategist, Robert Bowling, reveals that there is an "update" in the works for Modern Warfare 3. Robert assures that the akimbo FMGs will be getting some re-balancing in a new update this week. Its worth noting that at the moment the dual FMGs are indeed overpowered when compared to any other secondaries. Bowling also touched on the rank loss problem explaining if you ever get knocked back to menus with an error, it stops writing stats, you should restart your console for fresh connection. He went on to promise this [rank loss issue] will be addressed in the next update to prevent it from ever happening so you dont have to worry about it.
On a different note, some players are claiming that they are getting banned for no apparent reason. Bowling explained that when players are reported, theres a team dedicated to verify these reports and no one is banned blindly simply by being reported.

I was going to use my own example, but I'll just use yours instead. You say, "they're available for everyone to use," which is basically an admission by YOU that they're overpowered. But, disregarding that fact, would you say the same thing to OMA, Danger Close, noob tubes, and Thumpers in MW2? No, you wouldn't (shouldn't* anyway). Because it was obviously overpowered in its actual design.
Saying something is "there for everyone to use" is not only a stupid argument, but a stupid mindset.
TL; DR? Don't be stupid.
No, they'll just switch back to the Striker/Type 95.

You really just compared OMA/Noobtubes to akimbo secondary weapons?????? That's like comparing taking beer from your girlfriend's parents' house to stealing a case of beer from a gas station.
Noobtubes could yield you a Nuke by sitting in the back of a map firing in the air with unlimited tubes w/OMA.
Akimbo FMGs are only good at close range and for really good players/bad enemies at medium range. There should be a distinction between cheap and "overpowered". I don't even use Akimbo FMGs because they aren't realible from any other range but close. However, people need to stop with these "overpowered" arguments every game. An MP7/PP90M1/P90 with rapid fire could shit on an Akimbo FMG user upclose.
Point is OP or not,a gun isn't going to make players any better. OMA/Noobtubing with Danger Close is totally different since you don't even have to actually aim and shoot at a person. You could literally launch the shit in the air, at a wall, in a room or spawn tube.

I agree with you, the gun balance is not game breaking, the lag is. I do hope they also add the option for you to search local games, similar to what Black Ops had. The fixes should be in this order:
1. Lag
2. Spawns
3. Stats
4. Gun Balancing
1. Lag
2. Spawns
3. Stats
4. Gun Balancing
Can you tell me where the lag is? 'Cause I have non on my PS3, and I'm being serious :L
