Everthought about the consequenses of duelwielding?
Did you ever thought maybe if the spartans can duel wield and the elites can duel wield in multiplayer, then why not in single player!

We know that MC can duelwield in SP, but how about his enemy elites?
I surrely wouldn't like a elite with duel needler on legendary on my back!
How will this affect your battles? and would you like to have it in the game or wouldn't you rather have the upper hand?

Your opinion, your choice!

I sincerely doubt they will add enemies that dual-wield into the campain. I think they're leaving all the John Woo action to MC.

I think that the emenies WILL be able to dual wield! Bungie has the ability to do so, (you know they do). They are trying to make the game as believable as they can, and a "real" elite would certainly use two weapons if they had the chance. Remember that while your enemies are gaining an advantage, so are you!!!

Enemies will have to suffer the consequencies too you know. They wont be able to throw grenades and melee too! Also their shots will be so inaccuarate so dont fret about it! It will be balanced!

At least they won't have the ability to use their famous throwing arm.

it wouldn't be balanced, because you rarely face only 1 elite, and thus, even if all but one elite were dualing, you could still have grenades chucked at you. actually, all the elites could be dualing, and grunties could be hurling the plasma. so that would be bad.

I don't see how that changes anything... You fight either 3 elites with Plasma rifles/Grenades and 1 with a Needler/Grenades or the same thing except 2x the weapons but - the grenades... and they won't be able to melee you.

Im sure u can still melee with 2 weapons, the accuracy and power would probably be reduced however.

But yeah, Bungie will probably throw a dual wielding Elite into the mix here and there. Remember, they can make it so the Elite simply is spawned carrying two weapons. I dont think they would FILL a room with like 20 elites all dual wielding. Even if they did, just toss a grenade, they can only run so far... >:)

I think it'd be great to have enemies that are capable of making every move I make. Since the MC will be able to dual weild I think it would be great to allow the elites to dual wield. If Bungie really wanted to make it interesting the grunts could dual wield also. I think the idea of making things 'even' in multiplayer is great, but when it comes to single player legendary I want to be outnumbered and outgunned. That's what makes the game fun. If the enemy is bigger faster stronger and better armed then you have to think or die. If it's easy to just 'run and gun' on legendary then there really isn't a whole lot of skill involved. So in my humble opinion I say bring it on Bungie. Challenge us as much as you want, that's where the fun starts.

I know that you cant throw grenades while dual weilding and thats good but not being able to melee is not that realistic. if you have two guns you should be able to punch. maby they just needed a button

You cant melee with 2 weapons. If you press B you drop your left weapon

I am like never gonna really use dual weilding anyway, I always use grenades in a battle with the AR (which will be replaced by the SMG) so ill be keeping my second hand open so I can lob grenades in a close range battle.

and like ash said you can still melee but you'll drop your newest weapon! (left)
and about grenades i always disliked them, caus it doesnt need tactics and accuracy to throw grenades! im more a weapon man! and it's better then in halo pc where they can only throw grenades!
