For all you hopefuls, and people who still seem to think you can do it, you cannot dual wield a weapon that needs two hands. Only the SMG, Needler, and Plasma Pistol can be dual wielded. Also, the pistol is not in the game, the Battle Rifle has replaced it, think of it as a thirty shot pistol.

Also, suggesting things now is just silly and futile, they will just tweak and improve what they have now. C'mon people, let's talk about serious things.

Topics like these will earn you any respect. Tell them this politely in the thread that this is mentioned. It's alot more respectful.

I don't give a damn about respect. I don't know any of you all anyway. Just realize it's the truth.

About not being able to dual wield guns that take to hands, thats not true. If you watch the video you'll see that MC use two hands for the SMG, then switches to one hand when he dual wields

The point is that he does not need two hands for it, Duh. Would you need two hands for a Mack 11? A gun with recoil or a bulky gun you need to hands for, not so much for weight, as for accuracy.

As much as I hate getting into the middle of a flame war, the SMG has a collapsable stock abeling it to be used one handed.

The guns that can be dual wielded are, presumably, the needler, SMG, plasma pistol, plasma rifle (one of the jackals was holding one in a screenshot, and I believe it will be able) and that is it. The plasma Rifle is just my guess. There is also the possibility of other weapons that have not been mentioned yet being in the game.

Bungie likes to keep secrets.

All One-Handed weapons will be Dual-Wieldable.

Dual wield Plasma Rifles would rule (if they have the same characteristics from the first Halo). Little do people realize, but the Plasma Rifle was far superior to the vanilla marine rifle. It overheated, true, but it shot straight for the first several shots (something the I had a problem with the marine rifle, it couldn't hit the broad side of two barns) and I think it did more damage on a bullet by bullet hit.

The new needler looks pretty sick... except for the fact that it seems to be exactly like the SMG for the rines (hopefully the secondary explosion will do splash damage).

Wonder what melee hits will look like on dual wield? (Extra damage?)

I hope you're talking about the weapons that we know now...

...because it seems like you're saying this as if we know every weapon available in the game already

This is the Underground, a Bungie/Halo forum, and if people want to continue to make threads about what they think or how they feel, let them!

Goodness, we (Bungie.net) don't want to turn ourselves into something reminiscent of the Xbox.com forums; that would be horrible

We don't know anything yet unless you have the game, so don't assume. Assuming makes you an -blam!- and makes us look good.

I'd say original guns will come back in a little mode called classic.

Hey wow that filter works good. -blam!-

Are sure that there will be no pistol? because I recall in first strike, there was a new pistol, and the Battle rifle is replacing the assault rifle. I would also imagine that the pistol could be dual wielded.

Well said. This site should only have realistic people. Dual sniper rifles or rocket launchers would be utterly ridiculous. And Bungie will not change much anymore...? Probably not.

I'll start out nice and go from there.

I agree that the two handed thing is dumab and should not be allowed. Very good. Now I am no longer nice.

Oppiten as you said so yourself repsect doesn't matter on the internet. So piss off. My goodness are you really that thick headed to think that the pistol is replaced? Hell read my quote down below.

On top of that the different magazine articles that said this also added, " but this has not been confirmed " or " this is not a final model of the game, so we'll see. " And other such statements.

Also another thing. NOT EVERY GUN HAS BEEN SHOWN YET! Hell we haven't even seen Hunters yet, and yet we know they are there in Halo 2. So I believe it is you, young and foolish one, that should get over it.

Have a problem with it? Too bad and bite me.

Replacing these weapons would be pointless and impossible. Bungie said at the E3 demo from the other day and in the books that Earth is attacked in the year 2552. Somewhere around a month after the events at Halo most likely.

That is insuffiecnt time to reequip an entire military force with new prototype weapons that have yet to be mass produced. So my best guess is that all the old weapons will return alongside of our new toys. That makes the most sense if you ask me, but alas very few of you will listen.

Oh wait. This post didn't have a point. Hikaru did it already.
