I think two pistols would be a great option to have, as long as it does not unbalance the game as far as applied damge vs. other weapons. A few pitfalls of other games was having these sort of options and typicaly weak weapons ending up doing more damage than the ones intended to be "show stoppers" for the alien scum... Let us also not forget the "hollywood" aspect of the game itself. Video games are entertainment to begin with, and some flashy, hollywood like effects or skills add alot to the pure enjoyment factor. I find it kind of silly that people start whining and complaining to a great extent about the realism of one certain aspect or another, when the whole basis of the game is of "aliens" on earth and us fighting them with something less than our full might of the combined arms of our planet! lol So, yeah, two pistols would be cool, and thus just maybe shedding some light on a few other neat options of the sort for just the cool factor alone!
