I think that there are many advantages to dual-weilding such as taking a needler which i have heard is useful and haveing it track someone as you take them down with an SMG or pistol. Are plasma rifles one handed or two handed and will they be used in dual-weilding.

plasma rifles are one handd, so yes, dual weildable... and unless they are toned down, probably the best set to use up close. they wont be able to flich with all that plasma in there face.

and i think all the advantages of dual weilding can be summarized into this-double the firepower. im betting im going to still use nades a lot, though... so ill have to practice a bit on the really intensly fast melee/grenade button combo for whenever i do dual weild.

pistol is gone- replaced with the two handed BR[both have 12 shots(or 12 burst shots) a scope, and the BR is a balanced version].

the new pistol has no scope. and is dual weildable. and its supposed to be a lot of fun.

The plasma rifle will be one handed just look how the Elite's in Halo 1 held them. Also the stun effect according to some reports is alot less effective to balance out the fact you now have two of them.

The pistol being gone just sucks wang. That was the best weapon in the game.

damn! the stun effect is a lot less?

awww...well... but im sure with two its better than one in halo1.
kinda like the needler--dual weild it and get 14 needles into them... and its a really big explosion.

the plasmarifle was one handed at E303, and it will be in the final.

No it wasn't. I saw a video of someone with a Plasma Rifle and then dual wielded an SMG.

dual weilding will add more skill to the game. it will be something that only the best players will be able to master. sometimes, the dual weilding will be ur worst enemy, yet other times u will use it to ur advantage.
