I just go the July OXM issue. That guy isn't lieing. You can dual-wield battle rifles and plasma swords. Btw, there is no big Halo 2 section in the issue, they said that the next issue will be thriving with Halo 2 information.

yes but the fact remains that the batle rifle uses TWO hands not one therefor it is not dual wieldable. The mag is wrong.

it does not say you can dual wield battle rifles. and you can have 3 weapons at once, 2 being dual wielded, and that you can switch to. But you cannot hold on to two in your inventory. so if you switch weapons you will drop one of the dual wielded weapons and put one away and pull out your other weapon. like if you are holding a needler and smg in your hands and you wanna change to the battle rifle, you drop the needler, put the smg away and pull out the br.

Here is the exact quote from the article:

Dual wielding with a Battle Rifle and a Covenant Elite Sword, the latter of which you could use to perform a devastating lunge move.

It's either you guys or wrong, or the magazine is wrong (I highly doubt the magazine is wrong).

You would be surprised how wrong a mag can be just look at some of the reviews (OXM UK 7.5 for The Hulk).

I just got the july copy of oxm and is had a tiny artical on halo 2 and it said the battle rifle and plasma sowrd are dual weildable

Oh YEAH! In your face flamers! I only wanted it because it looked cool, people flamed me for posting it, and now... REVENGE ON THE FLAMERS!

Edit- oh crap, oh well it's still possible.. how would halo 2 suck though? It would make it better.

I really wish mod would come out and refute this, cause they arent dual wieldable, they werent on the E3 demo and they wouldnt be now. It's a two handed weapon and it would suck to have scoping weapons dual wield. It was a typo.

i think winter is wrong on the dropping a weapon when u switch from a set of dual weapons to your second one , it doesn't show this in this years E3 vid. though, so maybe he's right.

i guess a set of dual weapons counts as one of your weapon choices so theoretically you could have 4 different 1 handers...two sets of dual wielded, but i don't think bungie will let us do that.

It was bad journalism.

Neither the battle rifle nor the energy sword can be duel wielded. Further, as of the 2k4 demo, you cannot carry more than two weapons. This means that if you're duel wielding, you don't have an alt weapon to switch to.

You can argue "the mag says this" all you want, but I played it, and my word comes from the experience. They probably wanted to suggest that they are both playable weapons, or that you can switch between the two of them (something I did), but if they wanted to suggest you could have the battle rifle or the energy sword in one hand and ANYTHING in the other, they were mistaken.

are you sure about that? in this years E3 when he kills max and walks over the body he picks up a Battle Rifle to fill the second slot- while holding two weapons. it also shows on the hud the "press y to change to" and an icon of the battle rifle.

I am 100% positive. When you pick up a weapon to fill up the alt slot, your secondary weapon drops.

Then Bungie FAQ is wrong, becasue it states while dual weilding if you press Y to switch weapons you will go to your secondary weapon and drop your off hand weapon. This is also how they stated it in one of the booth demo setups.

Not to mention Joe was holding 3 guns in the press conference video, but you only ever have access to 2 of them at a time.

Shishka, the good man. Thank you for your word in this. Makes things sound so much better and accurate. And yeah after reading the quote that looks like bad wording. Really bad wording.

Just because the plasma sword is one-handed doesn't mean its duel weildable, how the heck do you expect anyone to hold that thing with two hands?
