People keep saying that only the needler, plasma pistol and SMG can be dual weilded, Well, I was looking through the screenshots, and I have proof that at least one other weapon, the plasma rifle, can be dual weilded.

On the third last screenie (there are 2 red MC's and 4 blue Elites, one of the MC's is in a hog, one of the elites is in a ghost.) On the far right, you can see a blue flash from the MC, as well as a blue flash comming from the wall below the blue Elite above (who is firing a rocket) To me, this is proof that hte plasma rifle should be included in the list people commonly give out.

Flame away.

Well, let's just say this. All single-handed weapons can be dual-weilded.

Actually I saw that to and thought that was a plasma rifle so I think that you are correct in assuming that.

No Flame Here!!!

In another screenshot (page 2 of bungies archive) the MC in the background appears to be holding both the shotgun and the battle rifle at once! http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo2/Gallery.aspx?Gallery=Screen shots&page=2
and it's the bottom right pic, look close and you'll see it

Any One-Handed weapon can be dual-wielded except for the Energy Sword maybe.

He is using the Shotgun and he has the Battle Rifle as his second weapon. He is droppping both because he just got killed. You CANNOT dual-wield Two-Handed weapons.

Yea I agree I don't think the plasma sword/ Entergy sword will be dual weilding although it might be fun for a melee battle hehehe

Old GTs; RebelRobot, Flamedude

in one of the older screenshots mc vs jackals, one of the jackals has a shield and a plasma rifle. this might suggest they can be fired in pairs..

just a thought.

I thought one of the ign or gamespot hands on articles confirmed that the plasma rifle could be dual wielded. I know i read it somewhere this last week. If it cannot be dual wielded, then it seem preety worthless compared to all the other guns and combos.
