Many people talked about dual wielding with the plasma rifle, I don't think this will be possible, because the plasma rifle is a rifle, as in hold with two hands. I would expect only one handed weapons to be dual wieldable.

By the way what is a LAAG?

Just like on the E3 Demo for Halo2, i would be very happy with a needler and smg, that took out the elite in like 3 seconds, that would be my choice

for the jackals and marines they hold it like a rifle but if you watch a Elite he holds it with one hand and if you watch the kikozu or whatever videos it shows him dual weilding a Plasma Rifle (perhaps you were thinking of the Covie Carbine now that wont be dual weildable)

Magnum? Where did you hear about a Magnum? I doubt there's such thing...

"I almost pulled the Tarzan act again the first time I brandished the dual weapons. I had a plasma rifle in one hand and a sub-machine gun in the other. Some pitiful fool tried to attack me with just a smg and I unleashed hell with both barrels. He went down in an eyeblink. It was awesome."

So I guess dual wielding of a plasma rifle is in. Sorry for my idiocy.

Shotgun wouldnt be wieldable.
1. Massive recoil, possiblly knocking it out of hand.
2. 2nd hand would be needed to reload every shot.

I have an extremely fast trigger finger, so dual plasma pistols. I can shoot a little bit faster than the jackals can in legendary, so multiply that by two. INSTANT DEATH TO ANYONE NEAR ME. Or you could just charge up a super bolt and let it rip. You'd just have to be in close quarters or they could dodge it, because it doesn't move to hit the person.

A regular pistol kills with two shots, if used in the proper hands and aimed correctly.

just put two rounds in the middle of the forehead.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Plasma Pistol and Human Pistol. You'll be able to kill anything besides vehicles and Flood (and possibly hunters, depending if they'll have the same weakness in Halo 2 as in Halo) in 2 shots or less. For shielded opponents, overcharge the plasma pistol and shoot them, then pop them in the head with the Human Pistol. Anything without shields can probably be killed with one shot of the Human Pistol to the head, provided that Bungie keeps the same head-shot killability as in the first game.

Depending on how dual-wielding affects your accuracy, I'd use dual pistols. Three headshots and you're a mass of lifeless flesh that I can use as a punching bag.

Dude, im gonna stick with the regulars. Cause with dual-wielding, no grenades. No grenades means no tagging ppl with plasma grenades and watching them run around until their heads get blown off.

I say I'm not going to make a decision until I find out what the other new weapons are and if they are dual-wieldable.

Theres a video that shows the plasma rifle being dual wielded with an SMG by the way.

It is possible. I have actual footage to prove it. Footage of someone using the Plasma Rifle with an SMG that is.

The Plasma Rifle shoots faster, as it seems. Loving it.

I am going to have a plasma rifle and a pistol. Then I'll have a shotgun for my single weapon. Plasma rifle to strafe, then pistol to pop them in the head. Plasma rifle=short range, shotgun= close-medium range, pistol=long range. Perfect set of weapons, if you ask me. All of them are pretty accurate as well.

Plasma Rifle in one hand, Needler in the other. Fry his shields and then spray out a million homing needles to take him down. Then you steal his equipment simple.

Since there will be xbox live, 16 players, what I'll do for the fun of it is:
1. Have one person be the victim on a CTF game.
2. Have 15 people get dual needlers.
3. Have all 15 people fire all their needlers at that one person.
4. 20 rounds per needler, 40 per person, 40x15=600 rounds at one person! Imagine the explosion! Only half of that can be shot in H1. If the level is outdoors, place the victim by a 'hog, and place all the nuclear stuff (I think that's what it is to make it go far, such as on Zanzibar) under the hog. Fire the needlers at the victim, and -blam!-AAAABBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! super high warthog jump, of course, after adding a couple of grenades! I wonder who would get the kill!
