I Think so too. You could do tons of damage with dual needlers.

I voted for "plasma rifle/battle rifle". If the option were avalible, then I would of went with the BR, and Shotgun.

I also agree with that it would be imposeble to get through a shot gun from what i've seen in halo.

Plasma Pistol and Regular Pistol.
Drop the shield with one and shoot the face with the other.

The ultimate combo would be the plasma rifle/pistol tandam. I would love to nail someone with plasma blasts and be hitting them with the pistol at the same time. But I still want to know in what way the targeting system will work will you have a choice on what weapon shoots when you pull the trig or will they both shoot..... I guess we will gave to see.

I would agree with the smg and plasma pistol, except that it is even more rewarding to switch to the pistol and finish it with a head shot. This way you only use one charge and one bullet.

My all time favorite combo is the plasma pistol and plasma rifle. Blow there shield with the pistol then paralyze them with the rifle running at them then..... CRACK! Shatter their skull and listen to them scream in the other room.

just curious, how is master chief going to switch guns while dual weilding? What if you want to switch just one gun for a better of the same type or a different one all together? And what about the zoom function?

I'd prolly go BR and pistol, but it's kind of hard to choose right now ya know? theres gonna be things a lot different, the damage of each gun is prolly gonna be different.

well in reality you can only use two one handed weapons, and considering bungie goes to great lengths to make things realistic we can guess that you can only have things like pistol, smg and other such 1 handed weapons for the duel weilding:/. that aside, for fun, i'd like two needlers plz, and for some ass kicking, i'd like BR wit the plasma rifle \0/.

Im also guessing here that u cant use nades with two weapons, which would leave open the L trigger so maybe u'll have a trigger for each gun, and probably no zoom.

But i wanna know how they would arrange it, could u hold 4 weapons, 2 sets of duals? or just 2 weapons and then if u can u can hold them both at the same time? SO many damn questions! i just wanna play halo 2!!

I concure, if the MC is going out kocked, locked, and ready to rock it should at LEAST be accurate. Granted it's a futuristic game, but you get my point. One of the reasons Halo's straight up tits is the fact that it's quasi believable. But come on now, weilding two rocket launchers or a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher?

For the record, I hope they make the weapons appear less static (if you've seen the real time demo at last years E3 the dual SMG's looked so stiff). If I wanted over the top craziness I would buy Unreal Tournie, or some crap game like that, but I look to Halo for that futuristic belevabliity.

Can't wait till Halo dos.... just hope they don't over do it (a la Matrix style... cause that $hit sucked!)

That has got to be th dumest thing i have ever heard. Een in halo one it is nearly impossible to hit somone with a charged plasma bolt. And the whole time you are charging that thing i am going to be capping your a$$ with the BR. Or if we are talking out Halo one ill just cap you with the pistol.

I think that the most effective combo would probably be a pistol and a smg. I think that the dual smg's will most likely be one of the best base defense weapons ever. Just think about how much lead you could throw at someone if you had two people with double smg's.

On a side note, I wish they would have weapons slung i.e. if you're wreaking shop on some Covie ass clowns with your trusty assualt rifle, an click, click..... I'm out... so BAM you switch to your pistol... why does the rifle dissapear?.... Yes, i'll admit i'm picky, and maybe this is a topic that doesn't make you're blood boil, but come on, everyone here would like to see weapons slung... that whole 'weapon's appearing out of thin air' thing has got to stop.

Also, does anyone think the Marine animation looks a little rough (sometimes when turning they appear to be on ice)... does anyone notice this???

For the record, Halo's tits, grade A 100% prime cut beef...

I was reading the latest Halo book in the Halo book series, and i read that there is a new pistol. Kelly(one of the Spartans) was using one and it took her 3 hits to kill a gold Elite(What i read in the book). It shoots 12mm slugs or something?. So if you have 2 of those babies you'll be unstopable.

At the end of the book I aslo read that 3 or 4 other spartans survive(not including the MC). So if their not in HALO 2, ILL TAKE MY XBOX AND BREAK IT OVER THE HEAD OF THE HALO BUNGIE LEADER DUDE.....GUY!!!!!

Dude, have any of you seen the new covenant plasma weapon that the elites in the one picture are carrying? i'd want one of those in each hand plus a crap load of plasma nades and a few of my buddies to back me up and i'd be ready to take on any army of covies bungie could put together, think of it- 10,000 elites against 100 master chiefs....plus some grunts running around scared to death

I wonder if those are the weapons that have the scopes. The only thing that i have thought about that supposed covey Sniper. Is how are they going to give it enough power to kill somone in say one shot. So i doubt that it will actually be a real sniper rifle and more of a accurate plasma rifle

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this.

I'd say it would be more like a mix between a plamsa laser and a needle from the needler. It would ge extremely fast, but not as fast as the Human Sniper, but would be more deadly, like a sheild drainer.

I agree on the Weapon Sling, a pretty nifty idea. And make's enough sense, logically.

What I would like to see, beside's the above mentioned. Is maybe the pistol have a laser site? I know you can zoom in and all 2x. But I just think it would be a neat little touch. Really pull off decent headshots from a distance.
