ok i have been reading tons of articles and in everyone so far they said anything single handed will be able to be duel wielded so in the E3 pictures it shows that he holds it with one hand so will you be able to duel energy swords im sure you will be able to.

No, definitely not, anyway why would you want to duel wield it, that would be kinda dumb, sure its great for close range, but say some guy is up on the hill with a sniper rifle, um... i think you're gonna die.

I'm positive the plasma rifle can be deul weilded. Plus, since it has no scope it would be at a big disadvantage if it could not be. It would be almost useless otherwise. On the subject of the swords, I think one would be quite enough. I don't see it having any effect unless you could swing both at once and decapitate some covies.

the plasma pistol was one of the best weapons in Halo. why would it become useless in halo 2?

oh and dual plasma sword doesn't make since. seeing how one hit from a sword kills anyone than what would be the point of having two?

energy sword duel wieldable? i doubt it, i hope not. it would be stupid.

but i do wonder if jackal shields are gonna be useable, and if so will they be useable with the sword? just speculating... god that would be sweeeet.

In my opinion, one would probably use the Covenant Carbine instead of the Plasma Rifle in Halo 2, unless of course you could deul weild the plasma rifle, which would make it more useful. No disrespect to the plasma rifle. It was one of my favorites in Halo.

the plasma rifle is duel-wieldable, the carbine is single handed. an smg and a plasma weapon are going to be lethal combinations...

oh and it would seem that a standard hit from a energy sword is not fatal, just very damaging. otherwise the "lockon" big hit would be pointless.

2 plasma swords = 2x as likely to be seen by sniper

result: not very good

I think that 2x sword would really be sorta useless... If you really wanna double weild with a sword, go sword one hand, gun in the other.Of course thatll never happen.

lol plasma pistol or plasma rifle? make up your mind. i think the plasma pistol + any projectile based weapon will be an awesome dual weild combo.

The Energy sword is a one hit kill so why would you need two of them?

Oops, I meant plasma rifle all along. The plasma pistol is useful when charging it, but I wouldn't use it unless duel weilding it with another weapon. I was trying to say the carbine would take the place of the plasma rifle, unless it could be duel weilded. Nothing would take the place of the plasma pistol. My bad.

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

Its not the fac that its 2 swords, its the fact you could have an SMG and a Sword, negating its only con.

  • 07.21.2004 10:39 AM PDT

you can't melee attack when dual weilding, so having 2 swords would be pointless, since you couldn't attack.
