I didn't know that you couldn't throw grenades, but it kinda makes sence. I will only use dual wielding if I have strong weapons. I mainly use melee attacks, accept on legandary.

It's better because, well, you've got 2 guns.

like everything else. there will be times to use it and times not to use it. just up to you and your playing style. you can always drop your second gun and chuck a grenade(wonder how long that takes?).

I will agree with this guy here it has an advantage: killing people faster and a disadvantage: cannot throw grenades but any experienced player can throw a grenade onto someone before they can say "hello, how are you?"

of course in the E3 video master chief was dual weilding. he then switched to his secondary weapon than later switched back to dual weilding. i thought you couldn't backpack your dual weild?

To dual weild you need to 1-handed weapons (no double rocket launcher DAMN), you can't melee or throw grenades. I don't think you can holster double weapons but you can keep the "third" weapon then you don't have equipped now
(I.E. If you got dual SMG's you can have a sniper rifle [or covine{sp}] in your back up weapon, or "Y" weapon.) The main advantages would be that you have double the firepower so with 2 SMG's you would be SPITTING bullets out like mad (Or reload at different times so you never have stop firing.), but you might have to whip that grenade out real fast in which case (Unless you can drop weapon REAL fast.) your dead. I think the advantages outway the disadvantages
becuase (Assuming there not nerfed to bad.) dual weilding two pistols would make you god-like.

*EDIT* Remembering the trailer you can store dual weapons in the "Y" gun place.
