Subject: Any Ideas For How To Bring Back Dual Weilding In Halo Reach?

i dont think halo reachs multiplayer will be so different from halo 3s MP, so i was wondering if there are any good ways to bring back dual weild?(because we know that dualweild is almost useless in halo 3)

I say remove dual wielding and make all weapons more powerful and versatile as they were in Halo 1. This would make the BR (or BR-type weapon) no longer overpowered, since it wont dominate so much against the now-worthless half weapons.

Or, if it has to come back... this.

nah, removing dualweilding is kinda stupid because if dualweilding works it is very fun. when you dualweild you cant throw grenades, and thats kinda dangerous. going around without being able to throw grenades. :P

Take out/Alter the Br.

Maybe if most of the pistols were like the ODST pistols then dual weilding would be better. Apparently the SMG and magnum in ODST are good in their own right without being dual weilds (on account of having a scope), however if you could dual weild them you would get a completely different effect because they would be twice as powerful at close range BUT you would lose the scope.

i think what would help is put the needler back on the duel weilding list like from halo 2. that way duel weilding can be somewhat usefull when you cant throw grenades

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

Why can't we just make an option to turn Dual Wielding on or off in gametype's and have there power changed depending on whether the option is on or off?

That would be good, but the question is what should it be by default? Maybe Off in all ranked playlists and On in social?

I'd have it on for everything that isn't Hardcore, and for some gametype's, like Team BR's, it'd be off.

I don't think dual-wielding should be in the game. All dual-wielding did was make countless clones of the Assault Rifle, and made existing weapons lose their uniqueness.

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.”

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

Spartans can duel-wield...Duh.

ya, duels screw with the combat triangle and the gameplay goes down the shoot. we definitely need to get back to the core gameplay like in halo 1

I would be surprised if dual-wielding is removed in Reach. I personally think it is only useful at close-range and that is fine by me and that balance issues with dual wielding pale in comparison with other balance issues in the current Halo game.

Dual wielding isn't so bad. The SMG is still useful by itself. It just stinks that the plasma rifle and everything else are kind of useless on their own. There are different approaches they can take to include it, but the easier solution would be to return to the Halo roots and remove it.

Hardcore doesn't exist anymore.

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

Why can't they be powerful AND duel-wieldable?
