with no scope it will have no zoomed capabilities and thus always be automatic. hey theres a weapon already like that, the SMG and its better for it too

AGAIN

To be duel weildable the weapon has to be a single-handed weapon only. The battle rifle is two handed.

No this is stupid because the battle has a 3 round burst when not zoomed in. this also defeats the pourpose

Buddy i said it doesnt have a scope, i meant that you could like have the battle rifle and something else if you wanted so like you could shoot it off the ATV and such, very good. its like a semi-sniper AND a good close range i luv the battle rifle

*sigh* i idndt mean semi sniper when duel weilding i mean the rifle in general, like when goin on an ATV for instance. and yes MC is strong he can hold it with one hand its just guns liek the rocket launcher and sum steady ones like the sniper than yu cant duel, anywho i know it will be an excellent all around wepon that is a solid choice in any situation, whether it be close range, or having to chosre a gun to fall back on when yur sniper rins out of ammo ad buddys on his way up with a hand full of grenades....

Sorry, but thats just a dumb idea. Could you imagine a guy running around with two Rifles in multiplayer? Takes us back to the Goldeneye days. But, it won't be dual wieldable, so theres no worrying about it.

if you watched the e3 mp demo youd know it wasnt duel wieldable. when he kills the elite the first time it drops its battle rifle(dont know why a covie ahd one) he just picked up ammo no Y symbol came up to dual wield it yet.

LOL at the goldeneye refrences! I agree that the BR shouldn't be dual weildable but in Halo 1 the chiefs one handed a MA5B on 343 guilty spark so you never are certain

I agree with you, but technically the plasma rifle is two-handed, and it can be dual-wielded. :D

He one handed it because he was dragging a marine(or something) Its a 2 handed. The cut scenes are just for the dramatic effect

  • 06.18.2004 1:19 PM PDT

-S

The battle rifle cannot be duel wielded.

The plasma rifle is not two handed. Master Chief clasically used two hands, yes, but he did as well for the pistol, and you're not calling that two handed. The plasma rifle is designed with one actual grip, and is one handed. Note the way Elites wield it.

jharbst the plasma rifle has not yet been confirmed as far as I've read. and i've read no where that it is dual weildable. the offical faqs that i've read said only single-handed weapons are dual weildable.

You have to watch some videos from E3, that these guys took with a camera.

I know Shiska, I was playing the devil's advocate.

Just so you know, you can just edit your post, rather than posting a whole new one. Just look where it says reply, and click "Edit" instead.
