50% Fire Rate is still not enough for that OP mechanism.

In my opinion, IW went too far with tweaking secondaries. Secondary akimbo should only apply to pistols. I remembered how OP the akimbo G18s in mw2 were. That should have served as a future warning for IW, but I guess not. Drack /endrant.
Justifiable debates are welcome and open.

Can’t trickshot me!
Who cares about the op or whatever it's not like the whole team is using them. Let them look like try hards or noobs. They give your position away no matter what so kill them when you see spray.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought boss1000 created another illiterate ranting thread about MW3 but then I saw that you created it.

Back to the subject, You are correct, Those FMG9s sure do have some damn firepower still.

I've given many suggestions to 402 via twitter than can attribute to actually nerfing the gun. One thing in mind is the drop-off damage/range. The FMG9s are far superior than most SMGS in close range gunfights and even in close-medium. It range should be reduced so the FMGs are only effective in close range at the bare maximum. 402 tweeted me, "it's put into thought and consideration,"...about a month ago. Sorry, but a rants a rant. Maybe I've just dealt with enough bullshit to realize it can't just stand idle. Then again, not much promise has been put into actually "nerfing" a gun ever since the akimbo models.

Easter Egg!
The way i see it is.. infinity ward failed with the map sizes. if they`d make the maps BIGGER. there would be less noobs running around with akimbo fmg9`s and stupid shotguns like the striker.. tryharding their butt off.

And yea the mw2 g18 akimbos were powerful.. but you didn`t see everyone single person using them did you?

Mw3 maps play a big part in it.. (for me anyway)

I don't play on 360 so I've not yet seen the effects of the nerf, but if they nerfed them 50% after a 40% buff then they've dropped 30% from the original fire rate. I'm assuming that would be clear in game with such a drop like that but reading what you 360 players say it doesnt seem that different.
