Subject: why cant we dual weild possible spoiler alert

Don't hate... ...loathe.

Look at the pictures of the odsts wielding the SMG with the Pistol "holstered" on their legs. It goes from the hip to the knee almost. It also looks quite large in their hands. From a design point of view though they beefed up the pistol to be more like the Halo:CE magnum in days of yor. It would make game play to unbalanced, thats why they made it weaker for Halo 1 & 2.

That was a dramatic cut scene ment to show her desperation and never say die attitude and stuff in the imposable to excape situation they were in.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

i know theres already been 1000000000000000000000 threads about this but why not. i mean when miranda keyes died she was dual weiding a shotty and pistol. spartans cant even dual weild shotguns. i know she didnt take a shot out of it and she died 5 seconds later but she still dual wielded. if she can dual weid i dont get why odst can not. i can understand spikers but not even dualy pistols

if i start bumpin can someone inform me so i can stop
She was trying to protect herself. Yes, any person in real life and by extention, Halo, can duel wield weapons. The reason it was take out of ODST is that a normal person doesn't have the strength (like Spartans do) to hold two weapons at once and fire with accuracy.

If Miranda had fired the shotgun with one hand, it would have hit (being point blank range), but the recoil would have been hell on her arm.

^ He has a point. They do have a hud. hmmmmm....


Thats like saying I have computer, sure its from the 80's but its a computer so it should be able to run Crysis.

An ODST helmet does not equal a MJOLNIR helmet.


But it they both have a HUD so it can be done

I know it sucks that ODST can't dualwield. It seems like Miranda is stronger than ODST and Spartans.

ODSTs Would Have To Aim And Hit Enemies Which I Doubt They Could Do While duel wielding A Shotgun And Pistol...


You don't have to capitalize every single word as if they're all the beginning of a new sentence you know..

ive held a pistol pefore its not that heavy
you may have held a real pistol, but look at the ones here. If you look at when the ODST's have them on their hips, the pistols are about the size of their thighs. That is a good foot and a half to two feet in length, which is huge for a pistol. They are definitely much heavier than any pistol that you, or anyone else has held.

I'd like to see a normal person aim SMG one handed cause it would show you people in denial that it's not possible. That's why they can't duel wield and if you bring of the turret crap remember that that is only in FF and not SP.

I think ODST's can duel weild Pistols quite easily, but SMG's? Probably not. Anyway, while ODST's "can" duel weild, they are not capable of running and gunning at the same time, due to the fact that they don't have rechargeable shields, they are better off attacking with precision and stealth, Duel Wielding is a element that dosen't favor long range combat anyway.
