Duel weilding is good because it makes your weopon 2 times more powerful. The only drawback is throwing grenades. Why would you want to not have it?

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

The bad part is that you can't melee or throw grenades, the good part is that you get to kick twice as much @ss at once!!

no it's not bad look there is supposed to be pros and cons well first of all MC don't have three arms so no grenades with that plus I think that you may be able to use d-pad to control weapons like this:
down puts away for sprint
up is for after sprint
left could well put the left gun away and such

but course I could be wrong please ridicule me

that would be hard to do just thinking but what about my d-pad scheme that could make quick switches considering it doesn't do anything for halo 1

i dont think it sucks at all. It is an interestingg new addition and i think it is only fair that you cant melee with dual weapons, for the games balance. It would be kinda cheap if you could throw grenades and/or melee while holding dualies because it would be way too much of a powerhouse. The only con i have about it is that you cannot keep the 2 weapons for dual wielding when you switch to your other weapon.But i guess it again is for balance.

Since you melee with both hands with one gun, two hands and too guns shouldn't hurt that much more

It sucks that the XBox controllers don't have anough buttons to allow you to toss grenades and melee while dual wielding. But I guess you wouldn't really be able to throw a grenade if you have a gun in each hand. How awesome would a double-needler melee be . . .

Its not necessarily a limit on buttons, its balancing. With two guns, and the ability to throw grenades andf mele, you'd be to powerful. By restricting the things you can do while dual wielding, bungie has balanced it out. It will mean some poeple will prefer dual wielding, others will not, it prevents a multiplayer mess of endless dual weilding frag fests. Making dual wielding utilize two buttons is ingenious for other reasons aswell, strategy (like firing guns in different orders to get a good reload pattern) and a realistic feel are both good points of 2-buttoned dual wielding.

I think its brilliant, and Bungie isn't being half-assed about it. They're adding something thats cool, practical, balanced and a logical progression for the game. I honestly dont see how you could be against it. Dont like it? Dont do it, bungie is keeping it balanced for players who want the trifector of guns, melee and grenades, as well as those who want to Jon Woo.

Dont worry about how it will be. it is in the hands of bungie and they will make the game amazng. dont jepardize their chances of dual wielding in the game.
