I expect the answer is probably yes, but since I never heard anyone ask this question before, here it goes: Will some covenant races, and/or the flood be able to dual wield? Elites probably could, and should. Grunts should be able too, but only with plasma pistols. Jackals can't. Hunters can't. Brutes should be able to, but probably won't since they mostly hold that Grenade Launcher, which seems big. And as for the Flood, technically they could, but I'd prefer if they didn't; they are a parasitic life form... they're supposed to be simple and stupid. In my opinion, they shouldn't even wield one weapon.

are you talking about campaign dual wielding or muliplayer dual wielding. im assuming campagin since your talking about brutes and such. but i think most should. grunts shouldnt-too stupid, brutes shouldnt- too strong- elite-YES, jackals cant, and hunters cant. but there is another covie that is UNKNOWN maybe that one can dual wield i doubt it since its so strong i dont need dwing. he can flip WARTHOGS. what i dont get is that MC-with armor- is the same strength as a hunter and can flip warthogs whats the big to do about this new species.

First of all I did mean campaign. Second, I don't know what's wrong with you, but MC is NOT as strong as a hunter. He can just kill them because of their weak spots. Third, in my opinion Grunts should be able to dual wield, but as you said, they are stupid, and are only trained to dual wield plasma pistols. As for the new covenant race being able to flip worthogs, that's a big thing for a few reasons.
1. We don't know anything about them, so we are in suspense.
2. Currently there is NO race which can flip anything. Technically Hunters, Elites, and Brutes COULD flip worthogs, but up to now we haven't even fought Brtues, and the AI for Elites and Hunters wasn't that advanced. In Halo 2 their AI is being improved, so they probably could flip worthogs. But it's still a big thing, because that new race should be probably at least the size of a human or elite to be able to flip a worthog, meaning it's probably powerful.

i read the books... u just made a retard of yourself. It says he is as strong as an elite... YOU MORON! Donj't you remember? when he fought that elite? and the Elite had an energy sword I think?! Or even before that. When he first met the Elites. In the end of The Fall of Reach. It said they were as strong as one another.

Go to page 315 in The Fall of Reach. "The alien was as strong as the Master Chief." Right there. At the top of the page.

In the first encounter against a hunter, they never fought hand to hand. The only thing they did was cut a hole in the floor with the AR then push a big a$$ rock down it.

I hope you were talking to that other guy... caz I was saying exactly what you just said. If a Hunter went hand to hand with a spartan, he'd crush him.

OK, now can we all go back to the topic? Ignore that whole thing that mojonation1487 started. Focus on the dual wildeing part. Thanks.

well in halo, i can kill a hunter by meleeing him to death, he charges towards me, i step to the side and pistol whip his back, but i think thats because im faster, anyways i can still take him down with no weapon...plasma pistol punch

But that's what I said... it's because of thier weakspots. In pure strength, MC is no challenge for the Hunter.

right, but would you rather be fast, smart, strong or dumb, slow, really strong, that being said i think MC matches a hunter-not in strength but has in a whole

I agree NinjaMasterG, the MC and the hunter are very equally matched. But that other guy said they were equivalent in strength, which is just pure bull-blam!-.

in truth a hunter must be bloody powerful because in the books (not 'the flood' cos that is different in a bad way to the other 2) how many hunters are actually killed by the spartens themselves and not vehicles?????

i count 2 or 1 pair: that was when the dropped the big pebble on them but they only just did it because of the stuation
