If you want to go back to a single weapon, do you have to drop the 2nd gun, or do you just holster it?

if you holster it, then how do you drop it/swap it (say i want to have an smg and a needler but i currently have 2 smg's)?

You drop it. And you can't melee while daul weilding, which really sucks. And it wouldn't be twice as powerful, it'll be about the same.

he's saying if you could melee while dualing it wouldn't be 2 times a powerful because you have 2 weapons.

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

i dont see why you cant melee, cause in H1 it only took one hand to melee if you are using the pistol, so why cant you use either hand to smack somebody?

too imbalanced i guess, i dont know for all i know he could be wrong about the no melee thing. we'll just have to wait and see if there is melee attacks with duals.

There is no melee while dual wielding and you can't throw grenades. Also when you change between duals and your other sidearm you lose the second gun.

throwing grandes is understandable but melee attack is not so understandable. i mean comeon how hard is it to smack the guy with the weapon in your hand like BAM hit him right in the face.

Because they ran out of buttons, (in the E3 demo at least.) the Melee button was to drop the second weapon.

It is against the rules to scream n00b or anything along the lines of newb. Don't do it.

he's right i mean y button is for dual weilding and x is for switching weapons, what about the other buttons that go un-used.

bam.............

Tapping Y switches to your secondary weapon and drops your off hand weapon.

Tapping B drops your off hand weapon and performs a melee.

This is from the Bungie FAQ.

Y picks up the the second weapon and B drops it. I read it somewhere and I'll try and find it.
