Subject: compensation for no dual-wielding

has anyone else noticed that bungie has compensated for the lack of dual-wielding. i mean all previously dual-wieldable weapons have been upgraded, the pistol has been upgraded to the automag, the smg now has a scope, and the plasma rifle/spiker are replaced by the more powerful brute plasma rifle

it appears you have fallen into a sarchasm...
its the gap between someone making a sarcastic comment, and you picking up on that sarcasm...

The plasma rife and spiker should still be in...

Also, the lack of dual wielding shouldn't be compensated for, it makes the game more challenging.

I'm glade they took duel wielding out it makes the game more realalistc since your not a spartan

Yeah I agree that there shouldn't be any compensation for it. Also most weapons in Halo 3 that you could dual wielding didn't really help the cause. Most of the weapons you could dual wield were no more effective then most weapons you could only have one of.

Yeah, DW inevitabely requires a massive weapons nerf. Truth be told I wish H2 never had it outside of a specific set of circumstances.

I agree with compensation, a mauler should be just as challenging to kill a brute with as a shotgun. Im not argueing wether killing a brute with either of those two weapons should be easy or hard but how hard they are to kill with compared to each other.

Good topic

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

The Spiker is still in, and I think some Stealth Brute's will have a normal Plasma Rifle.

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

Back in my day, we didn't need compensation.

We killed Grunts. On seventy degree inclines. With stones. In the snow.

Back in my day we finished a mission on legendary without fireing a shot.

^^^the greatest response i have ever seen.
dual wielding was cool in h2 but once they put the AR back in the game i rarely used duals in H3 so i really not going to miss it that much.

I'm not a Spartan, I can hold 2 weapons at the same time. I'm still glad they compensated for the lack of dual wielding though.

Oh and it'll be good to use the red awesomeness that is the Brute Plasma Rifle once more.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag

It's spelled "Honorable" where in the hell did that "u" come from?

Then why spam with it?

Dual weilding in the Halo games has always adjusted the damage ratios of the weapons (mainly to make them weaker). If the power of these weapons are increased, I don't think it would necessarily be due to the loss of dual wielding. The weapons have always been fine enough on their own.

honestly, if they spelled it "honourable" that means they're Canadian (like myself) or British

since you did not realize that, you must be American
