I thought there was dual-shotguns in Halo 2. Out of the choices you got, dual-SMG's!

Honestly dual weilding is cool and all, but I'm really looking forward to the battle rifle. I don't want to spam your thread, so my answer would be
(if I wasn't sporting the BR): SMG/Needler.

The dual SMG would be fun, but what about dual Plasma Rifles? In Halo, the Plasma Rifle was kick ass, it slows you down and it does damage (and drains ammo fast). So I think dual Plasma Rifles is going to be great, and annoying.

Boston Red Sox - World Champs (04'/07')

After 22 years another championship flag is up in Boston,
the 17th Title on the 17th of June, 2008

I Can't Tell You. Why Read My Three Reasons

1st- Havent Played It Yet
2nd- Havent Seen The Power Of The Weapons
3rd- I'm Really Choosy About Weapons. I.E- I WOULD NEVER PICK UP A PLASMA RIFLE

But If I Had To Choose Now

It Would Be: SMG/NEEDLER

I agree, I can already see that the Battle Rifle will be my favorite.

But for duel wielding, I'd always have the plasma pistol as one of them, and probably a plasma rifle as well. If you charge the plasma pistol, you can take out your enemy's shields, then (without having to wait for the pistol to cool) take him out with a few quick plasma rifle shots.

I would chose the plasma rifle over the SMG because it's more accurate. The bullets don't move as fast, but I've gotten pretty good at 'leading' the target.

So, Plasma Pistol/Plasma Rifle.

EDIT: If there's a human pistol of any sort in Halo 2, which I'm pretty sure there is, then I would replace the plasma rifle with the pistol, because it's acurate and fast, and doesn't have to be powerful once the enemy's shields are down.

That is a good combo too. I can shoot really fast with the Plasma Pistol, so if I had two, I could be deadly, if I can shoot fast with the other hand. And I agree with the people about the Battle Rifle being my favorite. My friend and I will always being carring one when we're playing. By the way, is it confermed that you can hold 3 weapons- dual SMG's and a Battle Rifle, and you wont drop one of the SMG's if you switch to the BR-for example.

i would have to say, dual needlers.... they were really good long range weapons on sidewinder (if your good with them) and now, you can have 2, and they do more damage, sweet

I would have originally chosen plasma pistol and SMG.The plasma pistol to deplete my enemies shield and the SMG to tare through his health. But with the new changes to the health system maby an overcharged plasma pistol shot won't have the same effect in which case ill take dual SMGs for the simple fact it will look cool.

you guys have some good thoughts, but i have not seen any combo with the pistol? come on, by far one of the best weapons in the game, and think about it, it is not cheap, it is realistic, a .50 caliber bullets hitting your head, your head is toast. any combo with the pistol is the way to go. pistol and plasma pistolis the best i think, you stun your enemies shields and one round to the head. or plasma rifle/pistol, but think about it, it is a rifle, i don't think you will be able to dual wield it. i am sorry for all of you losers who hate the pistol, just because you suck isn't any reason to condemn those who rule. start doin games with only pistols no shields and 400% health, that is pistol training! good luck.

smg/needler. Needler burst first that while waiting for it to explode inside the enemies body, I'll shoot him with a smg to lower his health even more.
