I believe Counter Strike did Dual Wielding way before CoD, as well as a few games like 007 and Perfect Dark. But the real game that brought Dual Wielding into common FPS's is Halo 2 i believe. And In almost all of those games and shooters since (Goldeneye and Perfect Dark exempt, since you could Dual Rifles sometimes), Dual Wielding has always been overshadowed by Rifle weapons that fill their Niech better than dual wielding. Dual wielding would be a useless feature to add to Planetside 2 unfortunately. The close quarters fighters will be sporting REXO and their HA weapons, or a MAX suit. And the other lighter classes will have some form of Shotgun or SMG, instantly eclipsing the effectivness of Dual Wielding most weapons.

If we have a 1-shot instant knife, it will eclipse every CQB weapon in the game anyways.
