i sure don't. since they introduced dualwielding over half the weapons have become useless without it. that's probably the reason why the br is so good. all the weapons had to be weakened to make dual wielding fair. because of this, the only weapons you couldn't dual wield became insane power weapons of death, which is why i think we should take dual wielding out.

Agreed. If it's a class-based game however, dual-wield could make sense I guess, if you get to choose which guns you want to use. But other than that, no.

Forgive your enemies but remember their names.

ooops I think I voted yes but i meant no....I agree with poster and first comment, if their is no sort of class system then dual weilding is not necessary


nope i got to vote right! (edit)

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

No. I liked it when there was no dual weilding in ODST. Did you notice that the weapons that were dual weildable in H3 were stronger in odst when you could only hold one?

I despise dual wielding. It just wastes ammo. Sure if you use it right it's kind of nice, but no one ever uses it right, so what's the point of keeping it?

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

I don't really mind if it's in there or not, the only time I really made an effort to use it was when Halo 2 first came out, after that I just forgot about it

  • 10.14.2009 8:21 AM PDT

i liked dual wielding, but i rarely ever used it. so i don't really care whether it's in reach or not.

Duall wielding is great. Makes great combinations. Besides, why take a step back?

because it creates horrible weapon balancing and a bad multiplayer experience, thats why there's no dual wielding in the mlg.

I don't agree. It creates a better campaign experience. If you don't want it, just don't use it!

Accidently voted Yes, I mean't No.

No more Dual Wielding. I want useful spikers, useful plasma rifles, a lot of weapons are weak now by themselves because of dual wielding.

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.

Grenades and weapons would be alot more usefull on their own if dual weilding was removed.

Agreed 100%.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Am I the only one who thinks the PR and Spiker ARE actually useful on their own? I can consistently find situations on any map where having a Spiker or Plasma Rifle, as opposed to an assault rifle, gives me an advantage, without dual-wielding them.

They're definitely not the most reliable weapons in terms of being your bread-and-butter, but they were never meant to be. They were created to be useful in certain circumstances, not in general.

Why do weapons need to be useful in every situation? There's no reason why the game should be engineered that way.

Simply because a weapon doesn't work the way you want it to, doesn't mean that a weapon isn't useful. Try to make that distinction.

And to be on topic, no, I don't think dual-wielding should be removed. There are a few weapons that should be tweaked in order to improve the dual-wielding concept in general, but I think Bungie's done a decent job with it.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

I wouldn't mind it, but they need to amp up it's capabilities and make it so that if you are dual-wielding, you have the ability to combat somebody with a better weapon.

  • 10.14.2009 9:46 AM PDT

Yes it is spelt like that on purpose.

I don't really use dual weilding much but I don't despise it either, so I guess I am undecided.

They woulden't be spartans without dual wield!

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.

And given that you have less that 50 kills for any of the dual wieldable weapons, you are totally a fair judge of what is weak and what is not.

The dual wieldable weapons aren't weak. You are.

If they let you dual wield battle rifles or ar's or Shotguns then yes.

Yes a fracking machine for gods sake, stiffen up those arm muscles and let us dual wield shotguns!!!

Ha ha
