The Pistol is dewffinetly the best, but what if you could hold three guns
The third being on your head

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

ideally, u'd want the pistol and the plasma pistol. they're both one handed so u could actually do it(u can only dual-wield single handed weapons) and if u timed it right, they'd have no idea what hit them. plasma overcharge would take out shields and a single headhsot would kill. u time it so that they both hit at the same time, and BAM! they're dead, plus they dont even kno where it came from(assuming they didnt see the plasma). and even if they did, nobody's goin to worry about some guy with a plasma pistol so much as a sniper up in a perch. so u'll be ignored anyway. until u kill them. over and over again.

They've already said they're toning down the pistol. The BR will replace its previous role. So you'll still get your little scope and quick headshot kills, except you'll be doing it with a rifle instead of a pistol (which really makes more sense).

I'm putting my vote down for dual pistols - but not dual human pistols. Think of having a human gun in your right hand, and a covie pistol in your left. You could charge shot your target, and then finish them off with a headshot. Textbook awesome.

I don't know if it does make more sense. I'm kind of thinking out loud so bare with me. *Quick disclaimer--I say that in reference to the old assualt machine gun, not the Halo 2 rifle.*

It's however many years in the future, so a pistol is going to be much more powerful than it is right now. (But armour will be as well, so that's kind of a moot point). But when you play without shields it works a little better. Anyway, it is much easier to get a head shot with a pistol rather than an AK-47 or any other scopeless machine gun. MC's machine gun is fully automatic and it doesn't make sense that you would get a one shot kill to the head with it. Come up behind someone at close range though, and hold down the trigger and see what happens. They die much quicker than the pistol with rapid fire body shots. It's the head shot that people use the pistol for...and you don't get long range head shots with an AK-47.

But it does make more sense with halo 2 cuz chief isn't packing a machine gun. He is packing a converted assualt rifle with long range scope thinga maggig. I don't know exactly what it is, but it makes more sense in that light.

Just a thought

No offense guys, but duel wielding rifle sized weapons is just plain retarded. This isn't a comic book, and Masterchief(human) is not the Terminator(machine).

In the new picture it looked like the MC had a shotgun in his right hand and he was dropping a battle rifle from the left.If you can carry to larger weapons like that. it would be kind of rediculous.How would you even reload. And the two handed grenade idea is pretty stupid too.

the dual greneade idea sounds quite weak compared to a duel welding shotty or magnums

  • 04.14.2004 1:30 PM PDT

Two handed grenade would be pointless, I mean wow, you can throw 2 grenades instead of one at a time, but i mean your max would still be 4 and you could only get 4 out a little faster. Now as to a shotgun and Battle Rifle together, I can see where he asks how you would reload. But we don't know the full extent of that screenshot, and whats there, and what it actually is. All we can do is guess until someone from bungie can tell us exactly whats happening.

I figure my favourite dual wielding weapons combonation will be two plasma pistols. The reason behind this is that I like quick forward assault attacks. I'll probably carry a Battle rifle around to take care of targets further away. I might carry an SMG, it just depends on how often I need to reload, if there is a suppresion weapon like a 249, or M 60 I would probably take that instead. With the plasma pistols, remember you don't need to reload them, this could save you alot like in Halo.

2 SMG, hell yeah. Or maybe a plasma rifle and a shotgun, one to slow them down and one to rip their head off.

The mC is not wielding the br and shot gun. he is dropping the br to pick up the shotty.
and to respond to the duel granades. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PULL THE PIN WHEN THERE iS ONE IN EACH HAND?

Crazy

The guy in the newest MP screen is being killed. He is dropping the battle rifle because he wasn't using it. The shotgun is being used by him so it will be dropped last scince he is gripping it. BR and the Shotty are 2 handers so you can't have to shotty's or BR's at the same time.

Heres a thought.... If you had two pistols would you be able to still carry another weapon. Like have the two pistols out and then hit the switch weapons button and be able to have a shotgun or and assault rifle or what ever. And also heres another thought, when carrying the flag could you cary also anther one handed weapon like the pistol or SMG. That would be awsome because im sick of having to drop the flag to get out a weapon.
