Oh, id go for a human pistol and covie pistol :D (if they still have the human pistol in Halo 2)

unbeatable combo in single player - i go through the entire pre-flood game with them ^_^ after that its AR and shotgun (i hate wasting precious shotgun ammo, taking out a field of spores -_-

for multi, i think it would have to be pistol and shotgun, for a wide, and effective firing range

ps, do you think dual weilding will be that avaliable? perhaps the stocky guns, like the battle rifle/shotgun wont allow you to dual weild, as the MC needs his hand on the rest to stabalise it, and hold the stock to his shoulder?

or.... if there will be dual wielding with them... he will hold them 'underarm' and the firing will me more eratic, and less effective?

The best combo would be the plasma pistol and the Marine pistol. Take away the enemies shields with the plasma pistol then one shot to the head with the .40 cal pistol would make quick feed of them. That would rock; the pistol already owns by itself.

I'm going to have to go with the plasma rifle needler combo if it's in Halo 2. Just think...stun your enemy with the plasma rifle only to make him an easier target for all of those exploding needles!!!! Oh the humanity!

I'd have to go for the Pistol and Shotgun. Chuck in a grenade, follow it up with a few pistol rounds to soften up the elites and close in with a few rounds of the shotgun.

id have to say that in the unreal world of halo, two rocket launchers would be cool. just think, shooting a guy one time first, then while he is in the air shoot him agian. i guess if you were really good(or lucky) you could do that with all four rounds and send the guy half way across bloodgulch

Listen guys, you might not even be able to throw a grenade while holding two weapons remember. (end of Halo 2 demo) I would just want one magnum pistol in my right hand to take care of business. Don't forget that holding two weapons may change the way the weapons shoot. Think about it.

The most obvious would be the pistol and SMG. Take down shields and tear em up.

Can you multiple with a SPNKr? That would be insane.

I would prefer a weapon with "smart" ammo like the needler, because if Bungie was thinking enough in terms of realism at the time they started deciding the accuracy for dual weilding (which i'm sure they did) they would've made it so that there is a noticable drop in your accuracy. IMO

I would enjoy a Sniper Rifle, and the Magnum Pistol. I like sniping weapons. They actually take skill to kill. Unlike the Fuel Rod Gun a.k.a. Noob Cannon.

duel needlers will be really fun (i cant wait to use them) and the SMG/plasma pistol would be fun too.

It's all about the Plasma Rifle and SMG combo, or maybe Plasma Pistol stead of Rifle, but rifle is easier to stick em with, and does more damage. Plasma cuts shields like mad, and if yer in close range smg will cut their HP like melty butter.

Also, comment on previous posts, you can dual weild anything chief uses with 1 hand, no rockets, no snipes, no battle rifle. Not to burst your bubble, but they gotta have some kinda limitations dont they? altho rocket shotgun combo would own, if you dont finish them w/ a rocket, im sure a shotty blast will... heh heh heh.

Um, Kinotrica, (how do you say your name?) Good point, but I am really good at killing snipers by hitting them in the back. Most of the time, they never even see me coming. My friend also loves useing the tank to blow snipers up. Hey, I am not ragging on snipers, because I am 1/2 one too. Oh, and I am full of random facts as well.

I would use the br and the smg for dual wielding if u can even with those. or human pistol (I can't remember the name unless its h2d or something) and plasma sword. Both dual wielding are for long and short range. too kick some serious ass.

I would like double needlers. One round from both of them would send any enemy across the map. That would be sick on a team slayer just having one team with double needlers. The other team would be slaughtered by pink explosions. Its too bad bungie doesn't make a gimpy ghost that has needlers. Wait that would just be scary.

Rage Hard
I love shotguns

I think that Bungie should stay with the MARATHON style shotgun. being able to weild two handheld shotguns in wich IQuote "I won't waste my time trying to explain the loading mechanism to you--your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature" end of quote. this weapon would be sweet.

My pefect combo would be the plasma pistol and the battle rifle. Chrage up the plasma pistol and finish them of with a few shots from the battle rifle. Or maybe you could have a covie plasma sword with a battle rifle. That would be an awesome combo, if you can use it this time around.

I gotta go with the double pistols, man.

Blasting Covies away with two pistols would give Halo 2 an excellent old-school Marathon feel.

If anyone even makes it this far. dual shotguns would rule the closed in smaller maps. For open maps I don't know. Maybe dual pistols or sniper rifles.( i know u could never get dual snipers or shotguns but i don't care, im just saying what would be good.)

I would do the Pistol and the shotgun, I would rule without changing for long or close range.
(But I do rule already so it won’t really matter anyway)
But seriously a pistol with my grenades could never be replaced.
