Why hello there.

I was thinking that maybe if instead of duel wielding bigger guns but smaller guns like the pistol or plasma pistol. OR if you wanted to you could duel wield with your main weapon which is a little bigger and a smaller weapon only. OR you could do duel wield with both weapons but it would be very or little inaccurate.

What do you think???

"You know our motto: We Deliver."

Sounds like the same principle from H 2/3.

'Cause ODSTs aren't as strong or something ghey like that

Well the main dual wield guns from Halo 3 are mostly gone:

Spiker- Replaced with Brute Plasma Rifle
Plasma Rifle- Same thing
SMG- Replaced with cooler badass cousin
Pistol- Also replaced by badass cousin with a scope, so no dual wield

From there on you basically have the Mauler, and Plasma Pistol
And seriously: dual wielding Maulers is redundant and stupid. And dual wielding Plasma Pistols is even dumber.

They are, but they haven't had the intense training that Spartans have had, nor have they had genetic enhancements.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Exactly, but you never need to dual wield two of them or both of them.

Is it?

I though I remembered seeing it, but I didn't think so. Yeah the spiker is the only gun left I would consider Dual Wielding. But if you think about it, not even Brutes can dual wield spikers, or they choose not to.
