Subject: there will be no dual-wielding in Halo: Reach

if you remember, there was no dual-wielding in halo 1 but there was in halo 2 and halo 3. the reason is that the mark v armor could not track two weapons whereas the mark vi can. and during the time of halo reach all of the spartans had mark v armor and therefor can't dual-wield weapons.

I'll admit, when I read the thread title and saw that your screen name was "The n00b pwner", I thought this was going to be stupid, but you're actually right. I get the feeling they're going to retcon it anyway so that the Mk. V could track two weapons. =/

I'll be happy if there will be no dual-wielding in Halo: Reach.

I like dual weilding but i could always play halo 3 for that.

maybe but i doubt it

Lolololol I hate you.

You DO realize that having older armor doesn't mean a Spartan can't pick up two weapons right?
If the character is strong enough to hold two weapons while still being able to aim, who cares about the armor? Jesus.

They didn't. A spartan is very capable of operating two small arms without having them linked to his HUD, so I'm sure Bungie will still include duel wielding the game. It's not like Spartans just magically decided to start using two guns when they got Mark VI.

Switch your armor to mark v in halo 3 and try to dual wield.

you grunt the armor cant track both wepons ammo feeds, now go feed on your food nipple while the spartans and elites have a chat


also to the people whoare saying marines dual weild, they dont know how mutch ammo theve got in both wepons and since not knowing how mutch ammo youve got is not very effective meaning the most elite soilders dont do it.

Give a 13 year old two guns and have him shoot at a target with them. His aim will be terrible.

They said in the description for the helmet that they updated the software for it to function the same as the Mk. VI

None of the marines in Halo 2 dual-wielded. Miranda Keyes was the only normal human who dual-wielded, and she had atrocious aim. =P

The reason Spartans didn't dual-wield in the Mk. V armor was because the armor could only track the ammo count for one weapon at a time. It's not about strength, it's about the fact that it makes their HUD useless.
