Actually that's a really good question that I don't think anyone has ever adressed. I would think you could zoom but only the weapon that supports the zoom could fire. For instance if you had a needler and a pistol, the pistol could probably zoom and fire but the needler would do nothing. If you unzoom you could fire with both weapons.

You can dual wield the BR and the shotgun. There is a pic of MC doing it in the screenshot section. Look for the pic of Three Green MC's in a mine

The Battle Rifle should suffice anybody who liked the original pistol, and the SMG should do the same for the AR. I too love the pistol and use it most of the time in multiplayer, but I found myself getting sick of it. So then I would try the other weapons but my friends would just keep killing me so I have to go back to the pistol again. I dont think Im gonna have to worry about it anymore though. Bungie is going to make sure that everyone is going to want to use every single weapon. Every one of them usefull for a different job.

Yea I don't think you can dual weild a BR and a shotgun because I'm pretty sure they're both two handed weapons, but then again if you look in one of those E3 demos the SMG is actually two handed.

Anyway I agree I won't really miss the pistol because of the new BR.

well he holds every weapon with 2 hands(the pistol he holds with to hands). and he cant dual wield a shotgun and a BR, why? because the shotgun was his primary and battle rifle was his secondary, and if you played the first halo the weapons and grenades fall off you when you die. so that battle rifle in mid air was falling off him because he was killed

Every one handed firearm can be dual wielded.


Nope, the SMG is actually a 2 handed weapon. Its every weapon that is balanced while duel wielding can be duel wielded ;)

that's wrong, it is a one handed weapon, but he holds it with two hands only when he is only using that weapon...same goes for any other one handed weapon, i mean why hold a weapon with one hand if the other hands free? you would get better acurracy if you held it with two hands.

exactley. none of it makes sense though because he can hold a shotgun one handed. he is master chief, you know the one you could be blown out of a warthog then flip it back over like pie, if he can do that he can hold a rocket launcher with one hand

True, but its not about realism or how strong Master Chief is, $hit he could probably dual- wield warthogs if he wanted to! Its about balance. Not only would it be pointless, but you wouldnt be able to see a god damn thing with 2 rocket launchers on your shoulder, and shotguns are already one hit killers at close range.

ya, i agree. 2 rockets launchers take away the spectacular level design view

Hey check it out! I got 2 Rocket Launchers! The first rocket kills you, and the second rocket kills your inner child, and then $hits on it. Better yet, when I kill you with 2 rockets, I instantly get 2 kills! You die, then you respawn an instantly die again! Aaaaaaaaaaahahahah!

the only good thing about it would be you have twice as much ammo before you'll have to reload.

Dont get me wrong, I still think you should be able to carry 2 rocket launchers(for all you rocket crazy bastards), I just dont think you should be able to dual-wield them. So to take care of that long reloading problem, when your primary is spent,you can just hit the Y button and wip out your secondary without losing much time.

They do, but for them to make a dent, a bunch more people would have to agree with us. Or, you can just private message Frankie to death. I dont recomend doing this to everybody else, but Frankies ok. lol

uhh....any 1 handed weapon can be duel-wielded with another 1 handed weapon. use your imagination.

Needler/Needler
Needler/SMG
Needler/plasma pistol
Needler/Plasma Rifle

SMG/SMG
SMG/plasma pistol
SMG/plasma rifle

Plasma pistol/plasma pistol
plasma pistol/plasma rifle
maybe some other unknown weapons will be duel-weildable.
im not 100% sure about the plasma rifle though. and i dont know if i got every weapon


you can't use the plasma rifle with dual wielding. it's a 2-handed weapon. same for AR and BR

I have that pic and they don't dual wield SMGs. they have plasma pistols.

Yes you can, I'm 100% sure, watch some of the Multiplayer Zanzibar videos and see for yourself.

I wonder if the AR will even make it back in. They would have to make it different for it to even be useful now that we have SMGs

in many of the cut scenes on halo 1 master chief holds the AR with one hand. so to give it some use, if it is in halo 2, they could make it dual weildable but the size of them makes them VERY unaccurate that way.

Then it would just be an SMG. If you kept it a 2-handed weapon, and increased the power and accuracy a little bit, it would be a useful weapon for someone who doesnt like to dual-wield cause you could still throw grenades.
