Subject: Loosing the ability to dual wield.

It's very reasonable for an ODST to loose the ability to dual wield weapons like Plasma Rifles, Spikers, and Needlers because there not strong compared to the Master chief. Blah blah blah skip the other weapons. My question is "Can you dual wield magnums/pistols? Normal people in our world can do it I'm sure ODST's should be able to. What do you think?

P.S. what about Plasma Pistols?

Edable - Not to be mistaken with Edible, you cannot eat me unless i am in pie form, which only happens once every 371 years

No, you can't do it in the game and although people can do it in real life i'm pretty sure the military don't. Using two pistols would sacrifice accuracy and general control over the weapon so they wouldn't do it.

Probably not, because you can zoom with the pistol.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Even though you can't, they will match the game to be easy without dual wields.

Are you sure your strong enough to hold to high powered pistols firing constantly while sprinting form massive aliens?

Well in cases that involve survival or death humans can get "super" human strength

But I am totally not in favor of dual wielding, I hated it in Halo 2

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

Dual wielding pistols, even .20 cal pistols, is insanely difficult to use for anything other than scaring the crap out of someone. Even if you are strong enough to continue firing both pistols together for a full 15 round clip each, you are so incredibly inaccurate that you are very lucky to land 3 or 4 shots between the two clip after years of practice.

It's such a useless practice that i don't know of a single spec ops team in the world that trains in the practice of dual use of weapons. it's a suppression technique, nothing more. (FYI i'm in the forces, the technique was briefly covered in my BMQ training)

As for the purposes of Halo, the Spartans can do this as they have the powered armour to keep their arms steady even when moving.

they're soldiers not street thugs so I think they'll only use 1 pistol

It would already be hard to accurately fire two guns, but also since the pistol scopes in it would take even more concentration and effort. So the only gun left to dual wield would be the plasma pistol, and that would be pretty pointless.
