You couldn't dual wield in ODST because you lacked the strength to fire both guns at once.

We will be playing spartans in Reach.

Dual wielding will return.

We got Jackals in the courtyard!

they should put dual weilding in but not make it stupid like in halo 3. weapons get weaker when dual wielded? wtf? whats the point then? if I dual weild i expect the strength of 2 guns. im losing the advantage of grenades so this makes up for it.

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.

The "Out, because it DOESNT MAKE SENSE" option is missing.

Weaker? Are you crazy?

Sure, the power of each gun drops by 25%, but you are now firing two at once, so if a single gun did 100 points of damage, the resulting two guns firing at once would do 150 points of damage.

Should be in, There was nothing wrong with it.

Here, at 4:14 they say that they didn't like duel-wielding, so they cut it.

I'm not sure if this will be in Reach or not. I hope it is.

Duel-wielding gave a player a bit more choices and power when it came to small underused weapons.

well in all fairness a spartan should have no problem to Duel wield shoulder fire weapons like Rocket launcher, SpLaser, and fuel rod gun.

as cool as that would be, it would be Over powered

but i think game play just runs smoother without Duels.
and like in halo CE and ODST i gives every weapon propose. with an Acceptation to the MA5
