I dual welded an smg and a plasma rifle. So that means MC can hold a plasma rifle woth one hand.

Im not lying. I have no reason to lie. If you dont beleive me ask a bungie person where the plasma rifle is and they will say, its behind a support pillar holding up the huge fan blade in zanzibar, there are also 2 plasmas sitting there too.

dual plasma rifles are the ultimate stealth attack combo. The very moment you see someone in mid-close range you should be able to take them down with a simple strafe and shoot

Yeah, the plasma grenade also looks more 'electric' I think its probably something they're doing with the plasma weapons for a lil' extra effect. I cant wait to hear the sizzle of my dead opponent as I pass them by....

Thanks for the links everyone. Im at werk and have to post on the downlow, lest I be caught and hanged.

Did you even read the rest of this thread? On page one I posted a link to a video that shows the Plasma Rifle being dual wielded.

The Elite's in Halo 1 held their PR with one hand it's only resonable to think the cheif could do the same.

[color=yellow]Dual Plasma Pistols with my Turbo on for both triggers. Yikes. I think that will be better than DP since the SPM are restricted by the in game programming.[/color]

Theres no doubt that dual Plasma Rifles will be spectaculor, but I'm going to stick with my two Sub Machine Guns. Tak'in out the trash old school style. That or Dual pistols, assuming they're in the game.

No the P.pistol, Smg combo is the best.

The best will be combinations of plasma (shields) and projectiles (armor) to take down your foes.

I just fully appreciate the 200 rounds w/out reloading, the only thing you have to do is NOT hold down both triggers for too long. Having a BR, single SMG, Brute cannon or whatever in your second weapon slot allows you to switch and finish you wounded prey if need be.

Why wouldnt pistols be in Halo 2 It would be pretty stupid if the military all of a sudden threw out thier sidearm.

You can still melee with two you just drop the second weapon when you go to hit.

True. If your in a situation where you will be able to pick up your dropped weapon fast enough to not be an encumberance, that would work fine I guess.

Can you still use charge shots with the PP while duel wielding?

Yes. Bungie has quite often used the analogy of taking out shields with an overcharge then finishing them off with the SMG.

Oh yeah, thats right, sry. I sometimes get mixed up on the things said by bungie or things that would be cool. My bad.

like i was talking about in another post. i think the plasma pistol + any projectile based weapon will be a killer combo. one charged shot to take out the shields than let loose with your projectile weapon.

yup, this is where the party is at
