Okay then does the cover of this mag have the MC with twin SMGs and two or three ODSTs behind him? I need to know. Because if that is it, then you are mistaken on your dual battle rifle thing.

They must have messed up, Bungie clearly stated only single handed weapons can be duel weilded... Battle Rifles are two handed weapons...

Anyone can make a typo. As for the dual Battle Rifles.....Bungie let's take a walk.

You see in a game like Halo 2 people have extremely high expectations. Especially your die hard fans. Having a thing like dual battle rifles, hell having any two handed weapon dual wielded, is a bad idea. It takes away from the Halo-esque that we love and makes it like a big disappointing regular FPS. So don't do it, you're better than that. So if dual Battle Rifles is the case, trash it. We don't need it to ruin Halo 2. Please listen to these words otherwise my hidden powers will be unleashed. Thanks.

No guns with scopes are dual wieldable. Period. That is why the pistol's scope needs to be taken off to be dual wieldable.

This isn't the Hikaru that I've come to know from reading the forums. This must be an imposter. Where's the Hikaru who is a faithful and true Bungie fan? Keyword being faithful. Why would you ever believe such a stupid statement? Especially when it comes from a mouth that isn't Bungie's. Relax man, and keep those powers hidden. I will bet my life that you can't dual wield battle rifles in Halo 2, you can quote me on that.

OXM just made a typo. They ment to say having both the BR and the Plasma Sword is a deadly combo.

They will probably talk about Halo 2 at E3, and have the demonstration on the disc

two rifles, or two plasma swords = much death, and many points

Duel wielding battle rifles isnt in Halo 2, because in the demo when he is holding the BR and steps over another weapon, the "press X to duel wield" sign doesnt pop up

LJust watched the E3 demo again. When he has the BR, and walks over a Needler, it says "press X to swap for..."
So no, you cant duel wield BR's OR Swords

Exactly. He even swaps his needler and SMG for the BR and Sword at the same time so it they can be dual wielded then the "hold Y to dual wield" would have appeared, and it didn't. Plus, Bungie has said many times that they spend countless hours on insuring that the weapons systems in the game will be balanced. So doesn't the BR and sword together seem just a little unbalanced to you? It wont be in Halo 2.

it would be impossible and pointless to let a scoped weapon be duel-wielded anyway...

He did not swap for the BR he already had it. At the time just before he got the Sword, the was holding and SMG and Needler and had the BR as his secondary weapon. Then he walks over the Sword and picks up the BR ammo only then swaps the the dual weapons for the Sword.
