My thery is that when you hold 2 guns at a time, the throw grenade button switches to shoot for the secondary gun.So, how are you going to switch weapons without throwing both guns down.My guess is that the X button is the way to switch one weapon while the B button is to switch the other weapon.So, whats melee while you are holding to guns?

(Bungie may have already told us this but i don't read the weekly updates to often)

No, the Y button is used for switching between the 2 weapons that you already have.

I've got a question: when holding two guns, are those the only weapons you have? Like, can you duel weild AND have a Rocket launcher when you press y? Probably not but also: how do you drop one of your weapons?

you can have a third weapon. You can dual-wield two weapons and then carry another weapon. You drop the weapon in your left hand by pressing B.

So in other words you can carry 3 weapon all together?Or just until you want to use your other weapon?

I heard from one of my stupid friends that MC has melee combos. Is this true, anyone?

Yes it is. Like in the first release of a real time halo 2 demo, the MC hits the brute 3 conceuctive times and killed him. So yes, melee combos are present.

Doesn't that make a brute less challenging then the hunter. just melee him three times then hes dead.In my own opinion i think there needs to be harder challenges.I also heard that the difficulty is going to have a large increase?Do you think so?

Well, MC Meleed him 3 times, teh brute fell down, and he shot him twice. Of course that doesn't mean he won't get back up. As we all know the Brutes will be getting up if you don't do enough damge to them (a la the flood).

Advice,The quickest way to take out an elite is to hold the sub machine gun and the plasma pistil. charge the pistil up then shoot the elite and finish him off with the sub machine gun

Or, use a plasma rifle and an smg. Plasma slows him and takes his shield down real fast.

SB-117

While holding a one-hand-weapon. Walk over an other one-hand-weapon and hold Y to dual wield. The one you were using is now on your right arm and the new weapon is now on your left.

To fire your weapons, hold down the corresponding triggers but while you do this your aim is less accurate and you will get alot of recoil (when your firing, the reticle will move upwards making it harder to aim)

To stop dual wielding, Press B to throw down your left arm weapon or press Y. (I think if you switch to your holstered weapon, your left arm weapon will be automatically discarded...)

I think you press X to reload both weapons, or you can just let the clips run clean out of ammo.

So basically, while dual wielding you sacrifice your ability to melee attack and use grenades.
