Game modes
The Desert Eagle in-game has a magazine capacity of seven rounds, which is typical of the weapon in real life.
Many players view the .44 Magnum as being superior to the Desert Eagle for varying reasons. Most common among these is the more-easily controlled recoil, and the revolver's iron sights.
The Desert Eagle is somewhat infamous for its broken iron sight in-game. The iron sights are more realistic than those of the Call of Duty 4 model, but they are misaligned. The middle point is off-center, making aiming difficult.
The Desert Eagle in-game has a two-tone finish, in comparision to the single color of Call of Duty 4. This might be a very indirect reference to the fact that this is the second game in the Modern Warfare series of Call of Duty games.
A Gold Desert Eagle does exist in Modern Warfare 2, though it is not meant to be accessible.
