Limited Dual Wielding (Sword/Pistol, etc)

I actually don't think this was used much in these kind of battles, perhaps by some officers but other than that no

... And what are we?

I was thinking about the MP, I dont care if it's bein added into the SP cause I wont really use it anyway, so it's okey by me as long as the bots not running around with it

hmm now you mention it, i always think about single player but in multiplayer this would actually be quite usefull, sometimes even overpowered since the enemy doesn't know if you are going to slash or shoot... In this case i would not allow reloading unless you switch to the pistol and reload it seperatly so you will only have 1 shot and then you're out... maybe not such a good idea

My guess is that as long as you're holding a pistol, doesn't really matter if it's in dual weilding or not the opponents will be ready for you to shoot, otherwise if it's already used you probably would've swaped it down or started to reload it. This doesn't really matter since they won't think you're gonna slash with the sword when you're not even that close to them and if you're getting closer they'll just slash you.

well you could hold pistol to make him scared because he doesnt know if you already fired it or not and as soon as he walk a bit back you switch and put a bullet between his eyes... but idea is rejected so won't matter

To be honest, the sword/pistol combo was how i thought the game was going to be when I bought it.

I would support it being added, so long as it had its realistic drawbacks-  namely, reduced accuracy (due to holding the gun in your off-hand) and inability to reload whilst you have your sword out.
the upside would of course be the ability to keep a loaded shot ready in a mellee and be able to fire it without getting your head chopped off.
