Just as plain as it sounds, do you want duel weilding?

No. It was rarely used in halo 3 as it is. Its laughable when you do see somebody deuling because u really havent seen it since halo 2.

I don't want it, not because it's not useful because it is on some maps. I don't want it because it forces Bungie to make the dual wield weapons 1/2 as strong so that dual wielding isn't over powered, who wants the Halo CE plasma rifle, plasma pistol, and magnum back? those guns were all infinitely more useful than their later dual wieldable counter parts

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 see any reason to take it out, even though I personally don't use it, someone is bound to want it in the game

Been playing Halo since CE

I agree with blue elite I use duel wield able weapons but never duel wield them.

I know it sounds stupid but I always take one SMG over the AR because if used right its the best fully automatic gun in the game.

Keep it you'd have to be retarded to remove a gameplay element.

I mean duel wielding is powerful if you use suitable pairs.
Duel-weildable weapons are relatively powerful on their own accord too, an SMG beats an AR in combat and a plasma rifle takes down shields faster than most other weapons allowing for a quicker beat-down.

No, dual-wielding makes Bungie to nerf the dual-wieldable weapons and make it useless while it's single-wielded.
Bungie should remove the dual-wielding and return the dual-wieldable weapons to Halo 1 status.

There has never been duel wielding in Halo games. It's called DUAL, as in wielding-two... duel wielding would be a head to head conflict of... wielding.

I BET THE PISTOL IN MY RIGHT HAND CAN BEAT THE ONE IN MY LEFT. LET'S SEE...

Anyways, it's dumb to get rid of dual wielding because they didn't "WEAKUN TEH GUNS 4 DUAL WEILDAN STATIS." They weakened them while dual wielded. I think that's dumb and the dual-wielded guns should have extreme power over single-wielded weapons (within reason, seeing as most dual-wielded weapons are close range, so it would be balanced). But even then, I'd rather have the current system than no system at all.

PS. Who's stupid idea was it that the only reason they weakened the guns from Halo 1 was to balance dual-wielding? That's not the reason: It's called balance. Anyways, the SMG was fine by itself, but dual-wielding made it a killer.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Variety FTW.

Done correctly dual wielding is great strategic "Should I take this 1 weak weapon and maybe I'll find anohter one later on to have great firepower"

Halo2 Needler was just that.

If you want "balance" - use Forge. Bungie can use it as well to create "balanced" maps

FFFFUUUUUUUU

look at it this way to improve duel-weilding....

say your sniping on the pit on the sniper tower.. sum1 trys to sneak up on you so u pull out 2 pistols (cuz you can holster dual wields) and own his ass..reload and go back to sniping.

it would be kool to holster 2 weapons and 1 primary at least.

They should definitely keep dual wielding.

Maybe they should put in some options that effect dual wielding. Like dropping the offhand weapon when melee attacking, or allowing people to dual wield at all.
