lols everyone knows bulletproof glass cannot withstand teacups thrown by russian women.

You know...this is actually a really good point. And in Halo 3 Miranda dual-wields a pistol and a shotgun. Wtf?

Do you recall shortly before she was killed in Halo 3, she was dual wielding a shotgun and a magnum?

Because Body Suits, like MJOLNIR Mark V, can't recognize more than one weapon.

So if you grabbed a second weapon not only would it be difficult to aim, your HUD would freak out too.

"Be Prepared and Semper Fi do or die"

ODSTs like to shot accurately after all they are commandos and their HUD can support it, and they aren't dumb ass and they are quite strong, and dual wielding scoped weapons like the M7S is retarded.

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

The Automag and SMG are already powerful, dual wielding will be overkill. But as usual people fight for the easy way out with dozens of pointless repetitive topics.

you can't dual wield weapons because you can scope in with otherwise dual wieldable weapons and Bungie doesn't want you to do both.

The animation would just be awkward, Imagine holding the pistols sideways and sticking the scopes on either side of your head like an old submarine periscope.

as support for my theory, when they made the pistol dual wieldable in Halo 2 they got rid of it's ability to scope in and created the battle rifle to serve it's former position. and since they wanted to bring back the scoped pistol and have a scoped SMG they had to get rid of dual wielding because otherwise the new scoped weapons couldn't exist unless bungie decided on a compromise like being able to scope in only when not dual wielding.

Just my two cents. :)

Holy -blam!- shut the hell up about this.

Bungie took it out because obviously they felt it was needed to be taken out. End of story.


I second this statement. Just forget about it, if you like dual-wielding so much then go play Halo 2 and 3 and be done with it.

thirded it.

Bungie wanted the ODST's to play more differently then spartans, so no duel wielding for ODST's. It sucks, but when you got a silent SMG and a nice magnum with zoom in ability then it all works out.

If you look at my original post, I mentioned this as well, saying that it would have been a suitable/better method than the one chosen by bungie, but it would have taken more work, time and money to change than to use the one they already had. No offense intended to either bungie or you.

She never fired the shotgun when she was holding both weapons.

  • 08.16.2009 7:01 PM PDT

Very good point but wrong topic. ODSTs dont were that armor only spartans do.

  • 08.16.2009 7:02 PM PDT

when i heard they were making ODST all i could think was "awesomeness would ensue!"

yeah weird how you can detach a turret but noooo, dual wielding is just out of the question!

  • 08.16.2009 9:37 PM PDT

Join Spartan I Project We are a fun group dedicated to having fun and helping you earn all the Achievements on halo and get all the armor Permutations for Spartan and Elites

Because if you could dual-wield, people would complain about how you shouldn't.
