Ok, i know that it is common knowledge that while you are dual wielding, you cant throw grenades. But this leads to a few questions:

In the E3 Demo, MC has the twin SMGs and the BR. He pulls out both SMGs as one gun, and the BR as another. How does he reload the SMGs? One handed?

Also, at the end of the demo, he puts away one SMG and takes out a grenade. How does he do that? wouldnt you have to swap both of them at the same time?

also in that demo if he takes out the battle riffle at the part with the jackles in formation wouldnt that mean that he has 3 weapons.

to reload he stores one gun and reloades then brings the gun back out

Hey I hate to break it to you guys but the Bungie employee playing that year old model of Halo 2 was in God mode. So he could do stuff like that.

I'm not sure, I was always under the impression that you can cary one gun in reserve when dual wielding or just with one gun out. When you switch to the one in reserve, the gun your dual wielding will be thrown down. I think I saw that in the E3 2004 demonstration. When you reload, you put one up, reload it, then do the same with the other, meaning that this is the only time you can carry two weapons in reserve. Remember, I haven't really looked into it much, so I'm probably wrong.

first off hes in god mode as hikaru said, secondly it shows in one of those 10 sec clip that when MC is reloading a *SMG* (im emphisizeing SMG because thats the one that was shown) that he realeases the clip from the gun then the gun goes down and out o the screen for like 5 sec so he could be reloading but while he was reloading he didnt shoot the needler which was in his left hand so you may not be able to shoot while reloading thirdly when he put the SMG away it was in a cutscene you cant do everything in the cutscene like what he did to da door lean out and just before it closes the ghost gets caught blows up and he barely makes it through

and i think i heard somewhere that when your dual wielding and you switch weapons you drop the weapon in your left hand, and im pretty sure i heard that when your going to melee/throw a grenade (i forgot which one) they said that you drop the weapon in your left hand


semi of topic: on the suject of dual wielding if you reloading in one of those 10 sec clips he reloads only the right handed weapon, this also poses something how do you reload both weapons at the same time or each on manually, my idea is you cant melee while dual wielding at all and to reaload press X to reload the left handed weapon and B to reload the right handed gun
