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.
