    Who else agrees with me the the Deagle is the hardest gun in the game to use?....the recoil is awkward and it takes awhile for the gun to settle I also have trouble hitting people....I'm not the best shot but I'm not terrible either....I can pick people off from long range with assault rifles with lots of recoil like the tar or f2000 but I can't kill people with a single deagle to save my life....however I must say akimbo is MUCH better and easier to use but I think they are still inconsistent and its more luck than skill when you get kills....I usually just end up spamming and hope to get a kill....a lot of people say the deagle is outclassed in every way by the magnum but I have never used the magnum and I only use the deagle because it looks badass especially when you go akimbo and it sounds cool and because not many people use it....so what do you guys think?....if not the deagle then what do you think is the hardest gun in the game to use?

    They made it much harder to use in mw2 compared to cod4. I would agree that it is one of the more difficult guns to use in a match. I actually find it easier to use if you don't aim down the sight and just fire off the hip and pray you hit the target.

    Well if you look closely you can see that the deagles sights are off center which makes it hard to use while aiming down the sight. I dont really think any gun in this game is hard to use.. maybe the intervention because you have 1 shot that needs to land or else you pretty much insta-die to anyone with half a brain and a automatic.

    They are much easier to use akimbo, since you should never ADS on the Desert Eagle anyway, adding 2 guns allows you to spam even more in close quarters.  I do pretty well with it sometimes.

    Much like the 45's should only be used with Tactical Knife, Eagles should only be used Akimbo style :). I recommend it on Hardcore modes, packs quite the punch.

    Yeah, the deagle alone is pretty hard to use. The recoil is so huge that if you shoot once you lose sight of your target. Akimbo is pretty great though. Just fire both at the same time instead of alternating between the 2 and they're pretty accurate and very powerful.

    the recoil is bad on them. they are powerful guns. in hardcore mode they are only 1 shot kills.

    I've tried it and while it is hard to use I find the Deagle to be much harder to use.

    Yeah. It's awful. I remember it being the best gun to use in hardcore modes in Call of Duty 4. You could pretty much snipe with it if you were good enough. Now it's just... bleh.

    No use for the Desert Eagle when I can just use a Raffica or any other machine pistol.

    I usually end up randomly getting headshots with it....if you start shooting at someones body it will eventually climb up to their head....and the F2000 isn't that bad if you know how to use it....its still outclassed by every other assault rifle though.

    By the sounds of it, they made the Desert Eagle more realistic.

    God yes, that gun is so annoying. Thankfully my thumb button macro spams it for me eliminating the need to aim, but even then. I like the .44's way more.

    was testing it in hardcore today. it was OK, but every other pistol was better. Also the FN2000 kill/ pickup image looks like a jetski, and that is why i love it.
