Are ODST's strong enough to dual wield?
alteast the plasma rifles might be tough for them
how about picking up turrets?
i saw one do that in firefight
i thought turrets were heavy even for spartans.....
and isnt the spartan laser kinda only for spartans
come on its the SPARTAN laser
they need odst lasers lol
Im not complaining im only curious
i hope that they let odst's do all of that stuff....
and how come spartans cant dual wield rocket launchers like in the book?

and a odst should be able to dual wield pistols
if not smg's

If you ever try and fail.....erase all evidence that it was you who tried

Some were stronger than others plus it would be a little overkill don't you think

You can carry turrets but not a single weapon can be dual wielded.

In the Halo 2 manual, it is stated the Mark VI armor Master Chief wears can track two weapons at once, and that's why he can dual-wield. ODSTs do not have this armor, and thus they cannot dual-wield.

True but that doesnt mean it isnt fun
How about the turrets?
No ones touched that yet

Thank god we still have turrets
but could an odst actually carry one?
im curious

  • 07.30.2009 3:11 PM PDT

Dual weilding as an ODST would be pointless. ODSTs can't keep track of where 2 weapons are aiming.

It's not about strength. Its about usefulnes and that ODST Body Suit CANNOT track 2 weapons same time. Mjolnir Mark IV/V couldn't either. Mjolnir mark VI can track two weapons at same.
Of course anyone can use two weapons, but the HUD wouldn't show them both, only one. Its not about the person but the suits electronics' limits.
Try shoot a weapon one handed... and hit where you think you aim. Try to reload two weapons at same time...

AS for why ODSTs can carry Grav-Hammers, Turrets and Brute Shots: ITS JUST GAMEPLAY!

Not in campaign, but you can in Firefight because of its non canon feel
