That's right, i got banned from Bungie's forums cuz I think different. Guess I am the only one who unterstood Einstein's "everything is relative"

You can duel wield everything that is one handed except for the energy sword.

Even though you might think the MC could do it and he prolly can. It would be just no fun. Soneone running around with 2 RL's or 2 BR's. Plus how could you look through the scope of a SR, if your holding another one. Its all just play mechanics.

A BR is two handed because it is almost impossible to aim or handle the kick back with one hand. Mc might be able to do it but not make it accurate. You use the sword with one hand but its not dual weildable.(for balance issues and not enough buttons on the controler.

One of the other main reasons is balancing issues... it isn't really fair starting off with a pistol, and having a well established player, killing everyone who spawns with dual Rocket launchers :)

get the idea?

Dual rocket launchers would be impossible to handle, the recoil from launching a rocket one handed would be ridiculous, also terribly unfair.
The shotguns in Halo are pump action, if you dual wield it you would not be able to pump it!
Battle Rifle is larger than you think! its large caliber and automatic fire would make the recoil ridiculous without a second hand to steady it
And dual snipers, well the sniper is only really effective when zoomed, so thered be no point, also the length of the barrel would be ridiculously awkward!

so, you cannot, (you, not in the game) use a sword with only one hand?
and, a small weapon like the battle rifle(yes, it IS small) cannot be used only with a hand?
of course you can do that,


dude! an assault rifle is NOT small! even Chiefy has to carry it with 2 hands!in real life u would not be able to carry an AR with one hand

Actually in Falll of reach when MC climbed up a ladder and held the AR like it weighed as much as a pistol. But it would be hard to aim using one hand espeacially with the kick back.

A battle rifle is longer than the MA5B and what if Bungie put in Dual Wield shotguns ala Marathon? Cause those were freaking awesome!

Shot guns would be impossible to dual weild since they are pump action.

Dual Wielding sawed off shotguns in Marathon was awesome. My weapon of choice was dual weilding those.

I think that the only way dual shotguns would be in the game is, if Bungie decided to incoprerate a version of the USAS 1 (12g) shotgun into the game. It can fire full it's 20 round drom mags. at full auto and still be extremely controll able due to the center of gravity's location.

I still would not want dual weilding shot guns, it just would seem so stupid

dual wielding 2 snipers would be just dumb because that is a crappy combo

  • 07.04.2004 6:50 PM PDT

SB-117

Theres lots of shady areas about dual wielding like how you can reload, will you relad both at the same time if you press X or both seperately. Weapon slots and other stuff is also confusing.

But we'll find out in november.
