Don't you think it would be wierd for an ODST to carry around a gravity hammer or taking off a turret and firing from the hip. I think that if ODSTs can't duel wield then why do they get to do everything else?

Well, quoting Bungie themselves "It's a Game"

Nothing has to make sense. They could make a Halo game about Master Chief opening a mexican resturant and having grunt slave workers.

It still would be awesome if you could give ODSTs gravity hammers in Halo 3.

Well, in halo 2, ODSTs never duel wielded, or any marines in general.

Beside that, this games play style is likely to be remnescent of Halo CE, despite being in a setting that should be Halo 2.

The official reason why Master Chief can dual-wield is because his armor "software" can track two weapons at once.

I'm guessing that ODSTs don't have this "software".

As for wielding turrets and gravity hammers, I have no comment.

Right or left handed. Spartans are capable of using both effectiveley

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

No equipment either.

If your having girl problems i'll feal bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but a Bi76h ain't one.

Do you dual weild enough to change your gameplay experience just because its gone ?

  • 07.01.2009 1:05 AM PDT

WTF you know full well that ODSTs cant use gravity hammer. What the hell makes you think they will in H3ODST.

We should all know by now that They walk slower, jump lower, cant deul weild, cant use Brute equipment and are prone to fall damage

ACTA NON VERBA

Being able to do once thought impossible tasks for an average human in ODST irked me at first but then i quickly got over myself when i considered that yes, it is a game that needs to have good gameplay... The only thing that does kinda intrigue me is why we can't use equipment even when some of them are human manufactured. After all the hype of equipment for halo 3 it almost seems pointless to scrap it from player usage, but I guess it's just to make the obvious point that you are not an invincible spartan and to give ODST that halo:CE feel that bungie seems to be going for.

Woop woop.

Firefight was made for fun, what happens when the Wraiths shoot the HMG off it's stand? It would be useless, so they let you carry them, but only in firefight. Same with the Grav hammer, it's a reward for defeating a -blam!- Chieftain.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

I'd like to see you hold 2 sub machine guns with bothe on full auto. Pistols however........

  • 07.01.2009 6:49 AM PDT

Well duel wielding weapons would be hard to anyone besides a Spartan. Even Miranda was having trouble shooting two SMGs. And plus the Silenced SMG is longer and powerful, they can't duel wield that. And same with the Silenced Pistol.

Whatever they do to make the gameplay experience more like Halo: CE is fine by me.

I just played through Halo: CE on Legendary and it rocked both my face and socks off.

Yeah but the gravity hammer has some kind of thing on it to make it well not that heavy.And the turrent is easy to break off look at the bottom of the gun.

Probablly made from lighter material since it looks like it is intended to be pulled off the tripod.

Honestly, who cares? Seriously, Bungie gives you all these new features and things, but you just HAVE to complain about SOMETHING, right? Jesus you guys are impossible to please.

+15 cool points for honesty and saying what a lot of us are thinking. =)

Cool points are added directly to your man(or woman) card.

People need to stop whining that we can't dual wield. Its by far the worst feature to enter the series. Holding two guns in pointless and a stupid thing to do..

Actually it's pretty useful, but I don't think that you will need to duel wield in Halo 3: ODST. 1. You're not a Spartan, and 2. You have the overpowered Halo: CE pistol. Is that not enough?

The only real use dual wielding has is ruining the weapon balance.
