...the MC can easily carry 8 rocket launchers if he wanted, with the MJOLNIR and all. i mean, i thought SPARTANS were super trained soldiers and they cant even shoot 2 battle rifles at the same time... hell, RAMBO could do it! or dual shotguns even. and dont tell me that shotguns aren't one handed weapons.. arnold did it in Terminator 2. EDIT: while driving a motorcycle!!!

i'd love to play 8v8 on Wizard with everyone dual wielding rockets and not even be able to see anything.

It's called aiming and attempting to pull the trigger. (if he holds eight rocket launchers). The shotguns and other NORMAL stuff, I have no idea.

Alright, so you dual wield these weapons that require another hand to reload them, so when you run out of ammo you just go "o crap, i'm screwed"? And another problem, if you wielded two giant weapons your accuracy would be beyond horrible. Imagine firing two shotguns, one being in your off hand, the recoil would make it impossible to hit anything.

ok maybe 8 was being sarcastic.. but dual wielding lowers acuracy anyways. why not be able to use any 2 weapons? (although i'd rather it stay the way bungie has it now)... im just wondering why for some reason a SPARTAN is limited to dual wielding only one handed weapons. EDIT: these are SPARTANs!! they can probably do triple backflips while throwing a plasma grenade and sticking a fly (ok maybe not, but you know what i mean)

He has a point the cheif can lift a hell of alot of wieght it should be no problem to hold out a battle rifle with one hand

but it would be way to power ful the battle rifle is a big power house if you put two together then havoc would go off

Just a point of clarification. Arnold didn't fire a shotgun one handed in Terminator 2. That was a winchester rifle. That's an entirely different animal.
