"It's a -blam!- video game."

Posted by: Bullet _ Sponge
Dual wielding should be a crime. It is a horrible feature that destroys the weapon set. Good riddance.

Amen! well besides dual wielding Halo 2 Needlers...

she never even fired the guns you dumbass, she would have broken her arms. Also ODSTs haven't been shown holding grav hammers and hijacking vehicles, and they have only been shown holding turrets in Firefight, which isn't cannon.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Yea, it's a video game. Obviously bungie had to many complaints or just felt like taking away dual-wielding.

actually you are the "dumbass" ;)

In Halo 2 she dual wield 2 SMGs and yes, she fired both guns.
(I know it's just a gaaaaaaame)


In one video of the firefight mode (actually it was an interview with a bungie guy and there were TVs in the backgrounds ) you can clearly see the "hold RB to" message + the grav-hammer icon on the players HUD.

not that they cant but they arent rated to dual-wield or were never given training to do so.

If your in the army and you werent trained to do something and a CO doesnt order you to do it. You Dont.

its the fact that cheif can auto aim, miranda misses every shot if im not mistaken. Its not that they cannot dual wield its the fact that they would be inaccurate.

I was talking about the shotgun and pistol dual wield asshat, and anyways she was really close to the arbiter when she shot the smgs so it wouldn't really matter, besides the point of this game is to be accurate
also abotu the grav hammer, thats fire fight, which isn't cannon

I don't understand, Miranda Keyes's, a navy officer can dual wield, but a heavy armored and combat trained ODST can't?


They're smarter than that. Look where dual-wielding got Miranda, eh?

Halo 2: Miranda dual-wields two SMGs...gets knocked out.
Halo 3: Miranda dual-wields a shotty and a pistol...gets TAKEN out.

Why is dual wielding so popular? Its so pointless, its there for the sake of "Hai luk i haz 2 guns its so kewl". Why have two -blam!- inaccurate guns when I can have one good accurate gun?

Dual needlers (in Halo 2) is/was the absolute best weapon combo in the halo universe. Forget plasma pistol / BR. You could take elites and brutes down in 2 seconds at mid to close range. Dual needlers would be cool for firefight......but probably will never see that again.

Nobodys left handed either... EVER. They are all trained to hide the affinity for which hand they use to shoot. :(

Thomas

nope but thats a good thing in my mind

  • 06.22.2009 8:40 AM PDT

Ya. I dout ODSTs will be able 2 hold grav Hammers, But then again they can rip of turret. And turrets are said 2 be only remove able by spartans.

Well, Halo takes place in a fictional universe mainly controlled by a god (Bungie).

God (bungie) decided anything and everything which happens in its world such as where galaxies and planets are placed... to the ability for people to dual wield or not...

It's very simple actually, god has a switch which turns dual wielding on and off for certain types of people. Babies can dual wield, but ODST's can't...

Dual weilding two smg's that can scope.

Dual weilding two Auto mags that can scope.

Dual weilding an SMG and an Auto mag that can scope.

Its not the fact that they arnt strong enough. Its that they can not acurately keep track of both weapons.

good point OP.

The ability to dual wield is a function of both strength and dexterity. In addition, even if you were the most dexterous person in the galaxy and you were strong enough to manage the aim of both weapons while firing, a special forces unit like a ODST would most likely stick with his primary weapon to ensure the greatest possible accuracy over raw firepower.

Yet they can somehow hold a grav hammer and board things.
Posted by: halomhm214423534
they are not strong enough ;)
and apparently punch through an armored Wrath canopy. Makes perfect sense. One thing i never understood about dual wielding: How does Chief reload with only one hand?


Thats just Firefight. It makes the game more fun who cares. Also the ODSTs i think can only plant granades on them.

  • 06.22.2009 11:55 AM PDT

This kid's 14th in Europe. Don't even bother calling me bad.

when dual wielding its a 75% damage penalty, not half/50%
two SMGs = 150% damage of one SMG

  • 06.22.2009 11:58 AM PDT

You may be good at _______ but you still suck at life

Didn't an ODST dual wield in the Halo 2 cutscene on Delta Halo? You can't dual wield with SMG or Pistol because they have scopes.

  • 06.22.2009 12:00 PM PDT

Keyes is a bad-ass gamer chick, of course she can dual wield.
