on dual wielding, why can't one melee? the grenades alone are a big enough exchange for the firepower IMO, why should we lose melee as well? If there is a logical reason behind this I'm more than happy to let it go but I can't see why having a weapon in both hands should make it impossible to hit someone with one of them, if anything it would bring up the problem of which button makes which hand melee.

All I know is that bungie is working hard on balance. They have probably deducted through testing that dual-wielding and melee is too unbalanced. Besides, if you have two SMGs up close, the man you are shooting will die soon enough.

Well, when you melee, you need one hand on the back end of the gun and one on the front. So that when you whack the alien you have control, accuracy and skill.

If you watch the E3 2004 kikizo wide screen presentation, the dude showing off the 'cool new features' shows that you can melee attack by pressing 'B', but you actually throw your second gun at them.

Where'd you hear that you couldnt melee during dual weilding? i figured that we would be able to like punch back and forth with both weapons....

Well Mr. Stubble, there's something called game balance. You only have so many buttons on a controller to do things. Besides, meleeing with 2 guns would look REALLY STUPID. It would look like the master chief was trying to have a cat fight with you! LOL!
