This may not seem like too big of a matter, but it has been bothering me for a while, and maybe some other people out there whole absolutly love Halo. How in the hell does the Master Chief reload the SMG when he is holding 2 of them. I've watched all the demos a million times, looked at all the pics, and came up with every idea I could think of. I hope somone else out there might have another... better idea of how he would reload his weapon.
Any ideas?

It's quite obvious. Multi-task. Who in G-d's name would drop their perfectly good gun? That's like giving away your xbox to get an xbox videogame.

That's not what caseless ammo is. Caseless ammo has to do with the bullets themselves, not if they are or aren't in clip form.

I'm pretty sure that he'll multi-task, but it'll take longer then normal. Just so it helps to balance out the whole double-weapons thing.

if it doesnt have magazines ill be pissed. I doubt they will have a smg without clips. You would run out of ammo way to quik if you didnt have extra due to its rapid fire rate.

i dont care to much for multitasks but it just better not suc ya know like once ur empty ur guns drop and bingo your back in action. i agree with it lookin like perfect dark and drop the mags and then hit the sound effects of realoading and talking a few extra seconds considering there are two guns ya dig.

In real life, if you were reloading two pistols or pistol-like weapons, you would put them in their holsters, find the fresh mags, slap them in, and then redraw your weapons. At least that's how modern combatants reload their pistols when their left hands are supporting riot shields. So, if Bungie was sticking to realism they'd probably just have the guns drop off-screen while you hear the reload sound.

I have an idea for a rather awesome reload animation for the double SMGs, though. It's hard to explain without pictures, but I'll try.

1) The mags are side loaded, right? So first the Chief presses the magazine release button on each SMG to drop the empty clips.

2) He grabs up the replacements with his left hand, holding it on the left side of the left SMG.

3) He turns his left hand so that the two clips (which are interlockable) are now in the middle of the screen.

4) He slams the two guns together, loading both magazines at once.

5) They automatically fold back, pressing against the gun in a cool animation with equally cool "robot arm" sounds.

OK, if any of you don't get it... blame the forums for not allowing images to be posted.

lol yeah that was a nice one, but about those who thought it would just drop out of the screen... that wouldn't be to kewl in multi-player, because that is uposed to be the bigest aspect of the game, its got to sumwat show how he is going to reload...

I don't think you'll be able to reload with two weapons. You will more than likely have to put one away, and reload the other one. It'd be kind of hard to reload a gun with both of your hands full. I know its done in CS, but still, i don't think it'll work that way in halo.

That would be cool if the MC reloaded like Sarif from the Matrix Revolutions, just before they are about to see the frenchmen and have to battle through all those new exiles that can walk on cielings

Do you know how stupid of an idea that is? That take away the realism of the game,Bungie is trying to make a game that is based on a story that COULD(VERY unlikely but could)actually happen. See imagine it like this MC puts his SMGs down then he lifts them back up OH MY GOD they reloaded!, See that sounds REALLY stupid.

dude, why the hell would you throw away a perfectly good gun? he would probably find clilps lying around and reload them like you would a pistol.

I always have two guns with me at all times. One sends you to the moon! And the other is two weeks in the hospital, pal.

Here's an idea...you ever see the movie Tomb Raider? Well, concidering the chief has a new set of armor its entry likey the clips could be held inside, with a single thought(In the books he could single messages on his HUD to his teammates simply my training his mind a little. It was tricky, but he was able to pull it off) the clips could unfold from the outside of his back. The chief would simply hit the release button on the SMG to drop the clip and whip the guns around to his back sliding the fresh clip in. It would take just a few seconds and the chief could be back in the fight. It would look pretty badass too.

We dont want the MC to have that feminine lara croft touch. HE WILL RELOAD BY MULTI TASKING.

Like I said he could just holster both SMGs to hold them in place, take out the clips, and then reload the guns while they are in their holsters. This is how they do it in real life, no contest.

Reloading is probably the weakness for the duals, it will probably take extended time to reload it. As fatr as animtion goes it would be cool if they reload the same way as the elites in Counter strike
