Subject: in odst if we couldnt duel weild then how do we hold a turret?

that made no sense what so ever to me we couldnt hold mabye 7 lbs of guns at a time but we could sure as hell rip a turret off its tripod and carry it around easily

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

Holding two guns could be uncomfortable for ODSTs
Just my opinion

and holding a 10 to 15 lb turret isnt

It's not about the wight. The reason that dual wielding was implemented in Halo 2 (storywise) is that the new MJOLNIR Mk VI has the capability of coordinating two weapons at once, something Mk V could not do. I assume this applies to the ODSTs. They just don't have the tech.

Indeed it was. Do you see the symbolism?

It has no reason in canon. It was just -blam!- annoying walking slow as hell, so the bumped up the speed. Gameplay > Realism in this situation.

Just because they don't have mjolnir armor seems like a dumb reason to not allow duel wielding. I mean what they can't use their eyesight?

Didn't have the tech to do it. People do it all the time in real life. I know this is a game not real life, but if we are arguing that they didn't have the MJOLNIR armor or the "tech" to do it so they couldn't do it, just seems like a bad argument to me.

I think just saying they weren't trained to do it well so they realized they are more effective with only one weapon would be a more effective argument.

The helmet gets in the way, as shooting from the hip (or even mid chest) is a holywood invention. They need a tracking system so that they can properly aim.

It wasn't my argument; that came from Bungie. I think the game is better without it anyway.

The helmet gets in the way? In the way of what? the whole front is a faceplate nothing blocking his view.

Need a tracking system to aim? need i remind you that the military, police and government agents do just fine without tracking systems.

GGGGGGggggggggggggGGGG

I think one of the guys didnt want it in the game so they took it out. And besides, its pretty hard to reload 2 guns at the same time.

Wow, with all their good story writers that was their answer. Nice. [/Sarcasm]

Seriously though, it doesn't make a difference to me whether it is there or not. I like it but it is not necessary, the game is still a great game. I would just prefer a simple legitimate excuse vs some lame attempt at validating these changes with the storyline.

Now there's a good point. How do you change a mag one handed? Sure Laura Croft did it in Tomb raider but that was a setup outfit. We are just scavenging guns and ammo so we don't have that fancy outfit. And a second question where did MC put the extra ammo(especially spare rockets)? I didn't see to many pockets on that MJOLNIR outfit.

The helmet is very bulky. Go put on a motorcycle helmet, and try to aim down the sights of a rifle. You can't because your cheek is now 3 inches away from the stock. Law enforcement and Military do not use helmets that cover the entire head

Well, with Halo 3 it started as the Spartans, with the massive strength granted to them through MJOLNIR armor, could just rip the turret off of the mount no problem. But Bungie wanted to keep this mechanic in ODST, and they knew it made no sense, so all they sadi about it was, "it's a video game."

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.

try duel wielding guns and see the inaccuracy with it anyway duel wielding a automag or SSMG would just seem stupid and be very innaccurate
