No you cant. Only single handed weapons like SMGs plasma pistols Needlers, Pistol, and plasma rifle.

But.. but... I heard them! You will be able to (or so i heard... on some trailer or video.. from the guy)! but he said theres no point and its impractical, or something like that. Dont yell at me! I think this is what he said.


Wait wait wait.. I just realized. There was no option (E3 2004 trailer) to dual weild with the R launcher.. then again.. Im not sure.

No. It is impossible for hold a rocket launcher with one hand, much less shoot it, even with MC's strength. The same most likely applies for weapons that are large (sniper rifles, battle rifles, etc) whilst the weapons that are smaller (SMGs, pistols, needlers) can easily be dual wielded. I would be surprised if Bungie decided to include a wielding combination such as a shotgun with a pistol or other.

Edit to below post: Yeah, I was thinking about that, and the fact that it was highly unrealistic. Thanks for pointing it out, hehe.

You know, double rockets and double SR's sounds a lot like Golden Eye for the N64

The only one in contension would be the plasma rifle. If you take a look at the way Elites/ jackles ( the jackle in the camping screenshot is holding it) They might be dual weildable. But I doubt it. Double Plasma rifles. Runs away screaming inthe other direction. I would be to powerful. Just over heat on and fire with the other.

The rocket launcher trigger is a button on the side dont forget. The other hand holds the handle.

Actually, it might be possible if what the screenshots tell us are true. So we know that more or less any weapon that only requires one hand can be dual wielded with another. In the screenshot on zanzaabar, specifically the one with a close-up of the rocket hog. If you look closely to the top left corner of the screen there is an elite perched on top firing a rocket. The thing is, he is only holding the rocket launcher with one hand and supports the weight of the launcher by resting it on his shoulder. Possibility??? It's always worth a thought.

In the IGN article it said that if you fire both weapons at the same time the accuracy is terrible due to the massive reciol. That would kinda defeat the purpost of being an accurate sniper

...AHAHAHAHHA! You'd fire the rockets and die. People watching you would see MC or the elite fold in half backwards

wait. I just noticed. In the video MC is holding the SMG(which can be duel-weilded) with both hands, but when he picks the other weapon up he only uses 1
