STOP you've got it all wrong it is alot simpler

If you have BR in your slot and 2 SMGs in your hands the very second you switch to your BR, throw a grenade, melee, or board a vehicle you drop the weapon in your left hand and you are now back to 2 weapons in your inventory. You can however reload while dualwielding.


fencr505 has it right. good job.

EX. (for idiots) - if you have a BR and an SMG, you may dual wield another SMG in your left hand by pressing Y so you have dual SMG's out. If you switch to your BR with Y your left SMG will drop to the floor, and your right SMG will be stored away. If you melee someone while dual wielding, B, your left weapon will drop. same with gernades.





fencr505 is wrong! why would you drop your dual wield weapon if you do any of those things!

some people dont have common sense.

You can carry 3 weapons at a time but you cant use the holstered weapon while youve got 3 out.

Ive got an SMG out and a BATTLE RIFLE holstered

I pick up the NEEDLER to compliment my SMG and my BATTLE RIFLE is still holstered. (im carrying 3 weapons)

I want to use the battle rifle now so I press Y, I drop the needler, holster the SMG and pull out the BATTLE RIFLE. (I have 2 weapons)

Basically you can carry 3 weapons but cant use them all. When carrying 2 you can use them all.

Im pretty sure this is how it works like fencr says...

how do you know, in the e3 2k4 demo he dropped what he was duel wielding and the rl and picked up a plasma sword and battle rifle so that doesn't help that argument.

For the sake of balance look at the E3 2004 videos at kikizo and read the FAQs that is how It works besides more people agree with me then you so chances are Im right and your wrong. E3 2003 does not show accuratly how dual wielding works.

fencr/william is 100% correct. You can NOT holster two weapons, only one. So if you try to switch weapons you drop your left hand weapon. If you are dual weilding at the moment you do have 3 weapons, one in your left hand, one in your right and one holstered, but you can only holster 1 weapon at a time. This is how it was at THIS years E3.

he starts with the BR and SMG, He dual wields the NEEDLER with his SMG. He swaps both needler and smg for the SWORD. Then he switches to the BR to destroy the ghost. Then he swaps the BR for the ROCKET LAUNCHER....

WHY! Because you cant have three weapons at one time,unless your Dual-Wielding, and they showed us in a video you F#CK!N6 nitwit! Instead of your common sense, try using your eyeballs and ears!

Did you actually WATCH THEM though? Ive seen both demosnstrations from kikizo(including the widescreen) and footage of a spartan boarding a ghost and sropping his left weapon as he does so.

What about it? The only thing it shows is using a plasma rifle and an smg together, it doesnt show anything about dropping weapons....

Lets see in Halo 1 MC had a single slot for holstering. If he could holster two weaposn then you could carry three in Halo 1 dual weilding or not. So lets see, I have to change to my other weapon with two guns in my hands but only a spot that can hold. The LAWS of mathmatics state that you could not holster these two weapons. Are you going to argue with MATH???? As for dropping the second weapon if you wanted to throw a grenade, how else would it work, we already determined there is no second holster so what does MC now have 3 arms. Now who has common sense?
