I think dual wielding will be the of halo 2, if they stretch it to dual RL or snipes, shotty's, etc. Dual smgs and plasma pistols are fine they way they are.

ok ok ok ok.... lets think like normal now, ok? the only weapons u could deul weild (of weapons we know of now) are the human pistol, the needler, the smg, and the plasma pistol. LOGICALLY!!! ANY OTHER GUN WOULD BE VERY HARD TO HOLD, AIM, AND FIRE WITH ONE HAND!!! the guns that i have listed as possible are actually all held w/ both hands in Halo, BUT, they would be easily held in one hand, other than the smg, which we all KNOW is dual or single. my fav combo would be....
1. against covenant- needler and human pistol
2. against flood- (yeah right) shotgun and plasma pistol
3. against other people in multiplayer- pistol and sniper rifle

PEACE OUT!

The problem with dual shotys is one they are a two handed weapon. And the most important is that the reaload time would be ungodly. Espically with the current pump action design.


A good point, but in the movie "The Rundown", The Rock wielded two shotguns. I know that's not realistic, but it's at least possible. But I totally agree with the reload time.

I believe that only one handed weapons are going to be dual-wield. Don't you think that would be just a little overpowered if you could carry a shotgun in one hand and a battle rifle in the other?

I'm pretty sure we'll be limited to the needler, the smg, the plasma pistol, possibly the plasma rifle, the human pistol, and the brute weapon.

I, for one, don't think the shotgun, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, or the battle rifle need any help. That's what skill is for.

Cheers!

Dual Magnums...one hundred percent...you didn't even include them in ONE of the combos...read First Strike, and then tell me you don't agree with me.

Dual Magnums...definately...one hundred percent...you didn't even include them as one half of any of the choices. read First Strike, then tell me you don't believe me.

I'm thinkin more along the lines of a beam sword at my right hand, and a bad-ass SMG in my left. Realistic AND the freaking epitome of DEATH. I hope to see something like that in H-2, but whatever you clever bastards have in mind will be -SICK-..I'm sure.

By the way, have you guys seen the pics of those new 'hogs? The one with the tracks kinda' gave me a boner!

I read First Strike and The Flood and Fall of Reach and man o man those dual magnums would be devastating for sure, but dual human pistols and plasma pistol/ human pistol would definetly do the trick man

Will there be that HAND HELD MINI GUN!!! or MACHETTE in this one because they were shceduled for the first but were cut short at the end!

  • 04.23.2004 1:14 PM PDT

Check out my maps!

Escalator
Wonka Winder

This would just be funny. But, if the fuel rod gun is in Halo2(it better be!!!!) Fuel rod and a rocket launcher. That would be way to sick. Though, I hope duel weilding is limited to the lesser guns. Duel pistols would get on my nerves quick. Must have balance!

I also happen to belive that the dual Maganum HE Pistols in the First Strike book would rock sombody's world. But that is based on the assumption that they don't change the power sceme witht the weapons. Meaning that no loner wiill 3 head shots kill with a pistol. From what i have seen in the E3 demo, the BR is going to replace the pistol. Wich to me is not sucj a bad thing because you then have 30 rounds to cap somone instead of just 12. I do have a feeling the all the weapon damage is going to be twicked so that there is not just one totally dominate weapon this time(the pistol). If that is the case it would make staragies completely different from what they are now.

There was also a mentioned HIGH VELOCITY GRENADE LAUNCHER that was used by the Brutes in the end of the First Strike Book. Now that would be the ulitate Anitwarthog gun. What am i taking about it would be the ultimate anitvehicle gun.

I am just hoping that will the new addittion of dual weapon weilding in Halo 2 that they do not mess up the controls and make them coplicated. Simple is most of the time better. I thhk that is why the control scheme for Halo was so widly imitated by other games. Although very few acctually pulled it off succesfully.

Im thinkin that new rifle the Elites have, and a Fuel Rod Gun...just an idea i dont know how effective it would be...if he can flip the scorpion, he might as well be able to wield the warthogs chain gun...

This would be impossible, but maybe a Covie Sniper rifle, and a human sniper rifle

Come up with your own dual weilding matches and post them. Ideas welcome.

Hey if BUNGIE puts dual weilding shotguns in the game, they wouldn't make it two handed now would they. They could design one some handeld shotguns. There really are haldheld shotguns out there, i've seen em'

Okay, i realize what u guys are saying about how hard it would be to hold a battle rifle with one hand and stuff, and I do agree that they shouldn't let you hold 2 rockets, but really who are we talkin about whos holding the guns? The master cheif who just happens to be able to hold around 2400 pounds, I would think he would be able to hold a rifle with one hand. But that would make it cheap of course.

if you look closly in one of the screen shot you'll see that they have a master chief wielding a shotgun and a SMG at the same time.

By the way, duel needles would be my tool of choice.Think of the mass destruction that would resualt if two people using duel needlers would attack at the same time. (A fovorite tactic of mine in Halo.)

Either double rocket launcers, or a needler and a shotgun, the needler for the Covenant, and the shotgun for the Flood (if their in Halo 2, which they probably are).

easy, a plas rifle, and an auto shotty, or at least a shotty with a robot auto -blam!-ing arm attached.

But, for me, RL and fuel rod, with a jackal shield and plas sword hooked to my wrists

edit- auto RELOADING arm, the 'c' word isn't always an illegal, jeez
