Ok, I have a question. How in the living hell can we not dual wield? Miranda in The Covenant dual wielded a pistol and a SHOTGUN. That's stronger than the Master Chief. If Miranda, a normal officer, could do that then the ODST could at least do SOMETHING.

that was mainly a campaign element

that's not stronger than the chief

and we have new gear and a whole bunch of other goodies to take our minds off of duel wielding.

all in all, i wont miss it.

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

It's not a matter of strength, it's a matter of gameplay. They didn't do it cause it's going against the "Halo Cannon", they did it cause in ODST you shouldn't be charging in with your guns blasting like you usually do in Halo 3.

And F.Y.I, you'll have to be pretty weak to not be able to hold a shotgun in one arm and a pistol in another. Sure, the shotgun isn't light, but it's not brutally heavy either...
Plus, they way she was holding it is a lot easier to carry than holding it completely out.

ODSTs are not strong enough to hold two weapons. The Spartans can carry two times the weight as a human. The magnum and shotgun idea, it could have been thrown in for kicks or something. ODSTs have their own share of skills that Spartans don't have.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

ODSTs aren't that stupid, also Miranda didnt kill a Damn brute and let herself be shot in the back by truth nor did she run long distancses, her mission was to kill as many brutes as she could and free Johnson, ODSTs dont dual wield because it would be very in accurate dualing the new (and not to mention heavyer) SMG would be terrible in dualing. So the Example you gave us is inaccurate....

I know the shotgun in Halo isnt the lightest weapon but.....

I could hold my very small 410 Snakecharmer Shotgun in one hand and my Pistol (Brand name not sure of at the moment) in the other and "Dual Wield" them, NOT THAT HARD

She didn't shoot the Guns, she holded them so she wouldn't get shot.

It's just a gameplay thing. It'd be a little too easy if we were running around in Campaign with an SMG in one hand and a Plasma Rifle in the other, tearing brutes down like they're nothing.

I hate dual wielding, so I am happy it isn't in this game.

Don't mean to go off topic, but Spartans could lift a lot more than two times the weight of a human. i.e. they could flip the Elephant easily.

very stupid to me, i mean anyone can dual wield you dont need to be a spartan, thats just pathetic. I mean you telling me no one in the army can hold two Handguns?! Taking out dual wielding is very stupid, also stupid for the Halo fiction.

But if Bungie did it for Gameplay the by all means, but the if they did it for halo fiction, and saying stupid stuff like ODST cant dual wield because they not strong enough? WHAT YOU KIDDING ME?!
