So, as we all know, Halo 2 adds the option to dual-wield weapons.

We do not completely know what weapons can and cannot be dual-wielded at the moment. But regardless, let us mix our ideas and theories on what would be the best dual-wielding combo and why.

We know Plasma sting, stun, and kill shields with ease. And we know that those humanoid weapons will rip just about anything to shreds.

Personally, I really do not know what I believe would be best. I want to try out the Plasma Rifle and the Submachine Gun. But, of course, we have long-rangers to worry about. Perhaps a Needler and a Submachine gun? Or maybe twice the power with two Needlers!

Oh, how about wielding two Plasma Swords and busting out a bit of Star Wars maneuvers throughout the battle field.

Well, enough of my opinions, what are [color="white"]yours?[/color]

What? The LAAG!? I do not think a Spartan could even wield two or one of those with another weapon . . .

I havent got any thoughts about it. Though i hope Bungie tone down the damage or accuracy on the SMG.

You can't dual wield with the plasma sword. I would like to use a needler with an smg. Killing spree in seconds to spare.

I got Turbo fire and to have two plasma pistols. One to take out and shields and a turbo fire burst to knock them across the room. Or both on turbo. It has instant on/off for each button asigned with four speeds. Im not worried about skill since I played Halo to death long before I had it. I wonder how the BR while zoomed would do on turbo? hmmmm....

I doubt they'd allow that to work in Halo 2. If it did i'd have to say thats really cheap.

I'll definitely be giving dual wielding a try, I like the dual Needler idea that's pretty cool. I was thinking of also using the Plasma Pistol idea as well, taking off the shields and then using my other weapon to finish em off.

Dual Plasma Sabers?! I don't think so buddy :( Nor do I see dual LAAG guns either...

Personaly I would love twin needlers...... I have always loved the pink doom..... but the most efective would be plasma pistol and SMG.

Nice point but, overcharge a PP and take the guy in 2.7 seconds with the SMG.

i'm thinkin needler and SMG.

just remember, however, that there are still a couple of hidden weapons that frankie mentioned. there still might be an evolved version of the p.pistol. we don't know. but for know, my favorite dual combo that i've seen remains the SMG and needler.

The plasma pistol also stuns.

Hm. Plasma Pistol x SMG or the Needler x SMG. We never, well I never, seen the Plasma Pistol in action on Halo 2. But that Needler works wonders.

Hm. I actually hope Bungie brings in all of the old weapons from Halo, and in addition, some of those new weapons noted in First Strike.

Too bad I don't have my novel to remind myself on what any of those new weapons were. I believe I saw the SMG and Battlerifle, but there was something that really caught my eye.
