Hi, I am the White Mamba Overlord of our group the ODSM.
We are not a clan, and we don't play the game for competition. Instead we play for fun, and to hang out with friends. If you are interested in joining go to our group homepage and sign up. Membership is open.
We are mostly a Halo 3: ODST group for help with achievements and stuff, but we also will play a lot of Halo 3 matchmaking.

Ok. That is something that would look cool, but it would SUCK! That would be WAY too overpowing!

So my answer is "no way."

In campaign, why not?

In multiplayer, no, one sword is enough.

The point of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.- Gen. George S. Patton.

Okay, the concept of two swords is completely ridiculous. Let's take a few normal circumstances that you might encounter online:

You have duel-wielded swords, and spy an enemy within slashing range. You slash him with one sword, he dies. The end. What would having two accomplish?

You have duel-wielded swords. You spy a guy, but he also spots you. He backpedals whilst firing, you die. How did that second sword help? Exactly.

Next, you have a spiker/magnum/smg/whatever in your right hand, and a sword in your off-hand. You spy another player and advance on him while firing. You manage to get his shields down, then slash him. Now, you didn't die, but you could have just bashed him, and the animation would be shorter, leaving you less open to attack.

I could go on, but let's just examine for a minute, the shape of the swords. They have a very -blam!- shape, and are thick at the base. This would make it rather hard to swing around, the other sword would simply get in the way.

Basically, as an idea, it's cool, but in reality, it sucks. Thats the cold,hard truth.

hey I'm scorch136 im 15 :D i just made this bungie .net profile ,but I'm not new to halo i also love taking screen-shots and forging cool maps so hit me up sometime if you want also another word of info go to the first slot on my file share and listen to what it says plz thx :D!

i think it would be the same as a guy with one sword not even harder to kill it would give no extra range or anything you would hit the dude with 1 sword at same range and they would die the same with two BUT if a guy had one sword the other somehow got 2 there could be a problem but i think it would work out the same as having one just the same who ever hits first if a guy had overshields then hes dun for

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Why would it matter? You could still only kill one person at a time with them.

  • 09.03.2009 9:52 PM PDT

Having a one hit kill weapon isn't enough, you need to have two redundant ones?

Its not going to work. I don't even know how you plan on balancing it, and it doesn't work with the control scheme.

Sorry.

  • 09.03.2009 9:52 PM PDT

First a better poll answers between 8 is yes or no. 4 times less the answers and 2 definitave answers. It would look kinda stupid with a spartan unless it was a cut scene. End result: Looks cool, Sounds cool, pointless you can only kill one person at a time

  • 09.03.2009 9:56 PM PDT

Yes, give us the power to double instant kill.
Sarcasm.
What purpose could dual swords possibly have?
Maybe fighting other swords, but when would there be atleast 3 swords on one map?

  • 09.03.2009 9:57 PM PDT

Dual swords would be good for campaign;
Having to wait between strikes while flood are munching your ass, isn't any fun.

Going by the current Halo 3 sword, no. BUT I voted yes because there are alot of ways to modify it to make it fair.

Agreed. Dual-wield swords only makes sense in cutscenes where you can attack more than one target at a time in VERY close quarters. Since Bungie makes most of their player character cutscenes blend straight into gameplay, it would only work for the enemy. Also, it would play like crap.
