As long as we get double swords and double rockets. But i highly doubt that would happen.

that would be ridiculously epic to the point of absurdity. in this case my vote is "yes".

Yes. Dual wielding is a very unique way to handle weapons, also nothing really beats a plasma pistol and pistol. What everyone in these forums always seems to forget is the casual gamer. Dual wielding is one aspect of halo which makes it more intresting, more unique, and better. Ever tried taking out a swarm of flood and destroying them with dual SMG's. It's not about how good a weapon is, but how good you feel using it.

hi

I would prefer if bungie kept it but i do think they increased the non duel weldable weapons damage. Why not ,instead of increasing the damage of normal weapons, decrease the damage of duel weldable weapons when you are duel welding them?

I <3 you, Shishka.

I thought ODST was more tactical without Dual-Wielding. I liked it more. Although it should be included for the people who like it.

No, what would be absurd is a rocket launcher that had so much recoil that it would send you flying backwards with enough force to flip over an elephant.

Double swords is redundant, double rockets is broken.

Yes keep dual wielding. I love the feeling I get when I rip apart somebody with 2 SMGs.

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.

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.


i don't use them because in almost ever situation i've been in, a br is twice as useful and even when not, theres always more useful weapon such as a shotgun, ar, rocket, sniper, etc. you realize that B.U.N.G.L.E. was a joke right? the ability to cary two extremely close range weapons is extremely useless. i will admit that the plasma rifle is pretty good and i was glad to see the increased the damage in odst, however, the smg, and spiker both can't shoot 50 feet. a br can easily outdo them any at any distance over ten feet, and the pistol is just 100% useless. not only that, but bungie has put nearly twice as many brs on each map as all the dual wieldable weapons put together. look at almost everyones stats, including yours. the br will always be at the top, and the dualwieldables will always be from middle to bottom. i guarantee it.

I may be wrong about this but isn't the upgraded HUD in the Mark VI and its ability to track the firing mechanisms and ammunition in two weapons simultaneously the reason canonically as to why dual wielding isn't possible in Halo CE?

If Reach is a prequel and existing weapons systems predate the MJOLNIR Mark VI wouldn't that therefore eliminate the possibility of dual wielding in this game?

Then again, a lot of the featured weapons in ODST weren't in Halo 2 and Halo 3 takes place an entire month afterward. Yet we still see Brutes in powered armor with weaponry of their own. So who knows?

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.

actually there is if you find them. theres maulers and plasma pistols but no one does that. I want dual wielding because i think a 2 smg spartan is badass
