I think that the pistol and the shotgun would be the greatest dual wepons. Pistol for long range and that freakin shotgun to finish them off when they get too close. I figure that bungie will be realistic about it though so no shotgun. My second choice would be plasma pistol and pistol, the ultimate one-two punch. Plasma charge, pistol round to the face.

The longer this post goes on, the more i become reluctant. I really would be dissapointed if the MC can weild 2 snipers, or 2 shotguns... that would be lame. I seriously think that the whole 'believeablity factor' is huge. I don't care how strong he is, how fast, etc. he still felt human... i don't want to play a super hero, I want some sort of acuracy. The only weapons that should (and at this point I think the whole duel weilding idea should be dropped) be allowed to be weilded two at a time are 2 pistols or 2 SMG's (and even that's taking it a step to far). If you read the books, the MC is more tactical, more human, and the game should reflect that. I'm going to be truly dissapointed in Bungie if they allow duel weilding of rocket launchers, shotguns, AR's, Sniper, etc.

Well said. It would be stupid and totally unbungie-like to be able to wield two rocket launchers or two snipes or any combination of known two handed guns. When i posted before it was kinda like a wish, but i dont expect it. Instead, i think that MC should be able to use his free hand more, he should be able to throw a grenade and shoot a pistol simultaneously. I hope bungie does this dual wielding thing right. If not, it could really mess up the game, and none of us want to see that.

I was just thinking about how they could make the grenade throwing animation 'fluid'. The MC should (depending upon if he is left or right handed... i prefer him to be a righty, cause all lefty's are -blam!-s.... kidding, kidding)... grab the front of the weapon with his left hand and chuck 'nades with the right. "Dome the f*&k out those Covie bastards." How do you like the view from sugar heaven -blam!-!?"

Yes I'm not saying that he would not be phisically able to hold 2 shotguns, but if he her where going to do that with the current verson of shotgun. It would take forever and a day to reload even for him.

I also believe that Bungie will not allow the wielding of knon 2 handed weapons in the game because, I mean comon that would totally take out all the fun from the multiplayer game.

Although some may say that the pistol already does that, but it only does that if you suck. Sry but its the truth if you where any good with them you would love them just as much as i do. Just the thought of being able to weild dual Magnum HE Pistols makes me drool. I mean come on a 30% larger barrel. That would rip those cobie b@stards apart.

Dual pistols would be one shot kill.

Yeah I agree plasma Pistol and AS are the best for elites. But it would be more fun to tot Assult Rifle and Plasma Rifle at the same time!

Did anyone else think that even if you can tot two guns they are going to be very powerful because it would be too unrealistic. Oh yeah and of course I've thought of legendary, that the first thing I'm gunna complete Halo 2 on!! :D

  • 04.23.2004 4:38 PM PDT

I'll be on my own side.

the last time i saw a FPS where you can wield 2 Assault rifles,rocket launchers or sniper rifles at the same time was GoldenEye.way back in the 90's.i think video games have evolved a lot since then.even though the MC is really strong with his armor,it would still be stupid if they put 2 shotguns or 2 battle rifles at the same time.i stand by my original idea of having the normal 2 weapons,but also be able to carry a sidearm like a pistol or plasma pistol or SMG.

Did ne body consider that u may be facing multiple enemies and that you would be wasting time charging up the plasma pistol while the other enemies hammered you. Most of the time elites are accompanied by other enemies.An elite by itself is scarce and appears by itself at a few select moments Halo 1.And for those of you who havent seen the ten minute in game video of Halo 2 the MC will be facing multiple sword elites. Its scary!!I I would go with a AR/Shotgun combo.No charging just lay on the trigger.

I love the thought of double pistols that makes me incredibly happy, but that would most likely not happen common think one pistol take only one second to kill some one but a needler is a very fun weapon but weak in muliplayer and a smg dosent sound to effective by is self so it probley going to be needlers and smgs that can double

This is what will occur single handed weapons will only be allowed to be held and those with a scope ie a pistol will not be used

Ok, I get what your all saying, but as was mentioned before, MC can probably reload the shotguns sorta terminator style. I'm guessing that bungie will limit ammo or something like that, because that was the best way to even the game out in Halo, in the Library, you had to conserve as much shotgun ammo as possible, cause when you were in a big fight, you needed every shot to count. As as for dual 2 handed weapons ruining the game, all it would do is allow for extra combat dynamics - heres my thinking - sniper rifles and rocket launchers and the really big mean as weapons that bungie is talking about in updates, etc. count as a sort of "heavy" weapon - too big and chunky to weild 2 handed, so you cant use it in dual weilding. As for reloading things like assualt rifles/battle rifles, theres probably a clip release, so the cheif justs lets the clips drop out and then puts two more in, dual .44 counterstrike style.

I'm more worried about how they're goanna impliment weapon changing.

yeah, you're tight.

how will the MC reload 2 guns at once? It'd be kinda hard

Of course, he might have to hoster one, reload the other, then holster that one, reload the other. Overall, time consumong and slow, but it gets the job done. I read first strike again, (read: 1000) and I noticed something. The Spartans hijacked a covie Wraith tank, and they were shot at when they were in Banshees by some sort of covie flak, like a needler only the length and thickness of a spartan's arm. I wonder if you can hijack wraiths and if there will be new covie (or human) turrets you can hop into. (Yes, other than the MG turrets) Firing three foot needles into a gold elite= purple blood raining down. I also was wondering about the recoil of weapons (read: rocket launcher) in the low grav enviroment. The pistols in First strike, although powerful, had tiny clip size. Better be really good or you have to reload. Did anyone else notice that the gernade that MC threw at the three grunts in the E3 demo seemed to bounce from grunt to grunt before it blew up on the wall. Homeing gernades, now thats a good idea. I would love to throw a few at a sniper and have them blow his head off, while I stay behind a rock, laughing at their flying corpse. Note: the brutes heads had little shielding. Unless their pea sized brains are situated somewhere other than their head, couldn't you bring them down with a single head shot, like a grunt? Anyone think about those Lotis mines the spartans used on the covie platform in first strike? I would love to send a few grunts and their commanding elite into orbit around mars by blowing one up underneath them, if you could use them. But alas, fall is soo far away. I wonder what weapons will be used in HALO 3, or if there will be a HALO 3...

Ecuse my spelling, it is 11:00 where I am. (Denver, Colorado,)

Back before the Halo that we know and it was possible to get a gatling gun. Now imagine two of those, you and a grunt. RUN AWAY!!!
