My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own purpose.

I hate only those who deserve my hate.
That's a lot of people.

Dual wielding is in Reach... for some elite NPC's

And yet, Six is seen dual wielding during the ending cinematic.


Another person who has yet to understand how gameplay and canon are two different things that are only related so far as they are convenient.

Just thought of something, Bungie made 3 games where you could dual wield. Now there are 3 games where you can't. Are they trying to make the number of games even in that department?

It was a gimick feature that killed the concept of balance.

Duel wielding just wasn't part of the the S-III training program.

It's for gameplay reasons obviously.

Yep, just like Master Chief was a Spartan III in Halo CE (to some people apparently.)

He also wasn't trained how to hold two guns until Halo 2...

To explain my first line.

People go "Spartan III's are weaker, they take fall damage and can't duel wield! They also move slower and can't jump as high!" (I've honestly seen this line pulled.)

Chief in Halo CE had both of those. Movement/jump height in CE and Reach are somewhat similar.

Yeah, so why do people go with that argument?

And the reason can be summed up in three words......
