Like in customs or MM Playlist, that would allow to enable or disable duel-wielding. It might not be useful or popular, but what if theres forge and ODST weapons in Reach, but no Firefight?

I can't imagine they'll remove it. They took it out of ODST, but then again, you're not playing as a super soldier with improved strength and reflexes. If you're playing as a Spartan, you'll probably be able to dual wield.

Oh, my mistake, you were asking if the function be optional. My bad.

I don't know...I mean for customs maybe, but it's sort of a commonly used function in matchmaking.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I'd say Dual Wield should be a default setting that can be turned off. But this should be coupled with the ability to guage the power of all weapons in relation to Shields, Health, and Headshots, in order to allow players to boost the power of dual wield able weapons while dual wield is de-activated.

Nah, that'd be difficult for programmers to incorporate.

Now, automatically redetermining damage is a different story... if that worked out, then yes, I'd like it.

no, just no. the option to disable in in custom games fine. but other than that no.

Beware the smiley face! =D

I'd probably say yes. And i think dual wielding should be at least included in campaign - They're supersoldiers, for god sake. Why shouldnt they hold two small-ish sub machine guns?

i think elites should be hard to kill like in halo CE and grenades are way more powerful than they are in halo 3. oh and no duel weilding let me know what you think

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Dual Weilding is not needed, it should be removed.

Hopefully.
