Not to mention, why are you talking about sorting two weapons while you're running? Personally, and maybe it's just me, juggling a handful of guns whilst sprinting does not seem like a necessary feature for me. Even Master Chief isn't going to try sprinting over and juggling guns in the middle of a firefight- it's a silly thing to do.
I don't really follow to what you're referring. Swapping weapons while running is an essential feature of Halo gameplay. First of all, I do believe they are going to keep the two gun limit. That means if you dual-wield say, a plasma pistol and an SMG, there WILL NOT be another gun in your other "slot". Those will be your two guns. It is stupid to allow the MC to carry more than two guns, when the two gun limit worked so well in forcing tactical decisions.
Secondly, once we acknowledge that the guns you double-wield will be your two guns, it would be very simple to switch out the weapon you want while running. Just switch back to single-wield mode, hold down X as you run past a weapon on the ground, and it will swap that weapon for the weapon you're holding, just like in Halo 1. You guys are making it too complicated.
And, gspawn, your idea for cycling and such is too cumbersome. I doubt Bungie would ever include anything remotely like that in Halo 2. I do agree with your point about the D-pad, though. Bungie has enough free buttons for the new features. They'll figure something out.
