This is actually a great idea, more weapons equal more power, so balance is neccesary. One minor problem, a sniper and a shotgun would equal 8 nades. A PR and a Magnum would equal 6 nades. I think only holstering dual wielding weapons(both of them) would take away nade space.


Problem is I don't know how the grenades would be placed otherwise. I was imagining that if you have 0 weapons, you have 4 grenades on both sides; if you have 1 weapon, you have 4 on the other side and 2 on the other etc.


"3. All dual-wieldable weapons should have "tool" funcionalities. Not just be clone-damage weapons.
- Needler: 1 is weak, 2 is overkill
Halo 3 needler is great, don't make it weaker just for dual wielding"

I preferred Halo2 Needlers in campaign. Other option is to make Needler big like in Halo1 but act like Halo3 Needler.
If it's small, it should be dual-wieldable.

"- SMG is the basic bullethose<------ Don't know what you mean here, but if you mean that only both weapons together have these effects I don't agree with it, also individual weapons should have these effects"

It's just that. A basic weapon you use to kill. This way you have long range dual wield (Magnum), mid range dual wield (SMG)and short range dual wield (Mauler) with no specials. Then you have weapons that are more like "tools" instead of simple instantkillers

I do think individual weapons should have special effects as well.


"+ 2 weapons is directed against multiple (or bigger) targets
I don't think it'll work, aiming becomes a lot harder. And I think that people would rather have 1 kill then 2 assists"

Nothing you wouldn't learn fast. It would just make dual wielding more valuable and different strategy.

For some reason Bungie nerfed dual wields and I think this could prevent it. You wouldn't kill single enemies twice as fast so there would be no need for nerfing.

I rather have 2 full powered SMGs than weakened ones.

Check out my maps!

Also, this only complicates a system that is really under used. 8 times out of 10 a single gun and a frag are a more useful option.
