Subject: No Dual Wielding in Halo 3

I'm just a 3D artist trying to go straight.

DWing=gold. keep it in and keep it real. a grenade-magnum combo is just as effective as two SMGs. People who think its an excuse to dumb-down weapons are merely trying to blame their losses on bungie.

Note to Bungie: Keep DWing in Halo 3. Don't listen to the loud minority, listen to the silent majority

No. Plasma Pistal with single weild again? I'll never even touch it. Course it might be OK if the magnum was put back like it was in Halo 1 again.

They better make dual weilding EXTREMELY inaccurate because they DID have to dumb down weapons so they could be dual weilded. That is a FACT.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

You don't have to YELL. It could just be in italics.

Makes it a tiny bit less stupid.

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

I knew this would happen. As soon as Halo 3 was announced, all the H2S.com homers will flood back and start saying"Halo 3 better be like Halo: CE", "bring back the old pistol!", "eliminate dual wielding", get over it guys.

I don't mind dual wielding as long as weapons are balanced.

Wow, just wow....First of all try dual wielding a sniper, then try dual wielding an enemy who is 20ft away from u wit battle rifle, then try dual wielding an enemy with a shotgun/sword at short range. IT WAS BALANCED. I need to leave these forums, they are rampant with trolss and new guys who don't know what they are talking about.

Everybody understands that the assault rifle was replaced by SMGs in Halo 2, NOT THE BATTLE RIFLE. Bringing it back means that either
A.) It will replace the SMG in Halo arsenal
B.) It will serve as a medium between the inaccuracies of the SMG and the slow rate of fire of the Battle Rifle. Leaving all three weapons in the Halo arsenal.

Agreed.

I personally like dual wielding. But I think there is a technical problem with the 360 controller that prevents it. The two triggers are a single axis and when both are squeezed, they cancel out. This is true for the PC driver. I hope it's not true for the 360. Anyone know for sure?

Dual-Weilding destroyed Halo 2 and destroyed what made it good. Without dual-weidling I think Halo 2 would have been better than Halo 1.

Posted by: Halodeth dual-wielding with a single weapon.
Thats where you lost me...
I think dual wielding was good, but some combos were too powerful together, like SMG and PR and PR and Magnum; As well as the Noob combo and basically anything with the PP.
What I found unfair was that mostly anything Plasma took down the shields alot more than people without shields, such as the PR and the PP, I think it should be the other way according to the books, and it would make the game alot more balanced.
Just my two cents.

Now if people didn't know this already, dual wielding was just an excuse to dumb down the weapons we grown to love from Halo1....


Sound likes someone should either stay off Live or learn how to use the combos themself.....


LOLZ

I was waiting for some idiot to defend dual-weilding.

If your implying that dual-weilding, which is basically grabbing two guns and squeezing both triggers while the large gun reticule is over your oppenent takes skill, than you are sadly mistaken buddy.


Just cuz youre a noob doesnt mean you should yell at ppl with sense. Dual wielding makes it look like there is no skill. The only reason for this is because everyone associates skills with the BR. But, if you would stop complaining and start DW'ing yourslef, you will see how effective it is against single wielded weapons, and you will finally aprreciate it. Also, it depends on the range, if you are mid-long range, a BR will destroy a DW'er. But, I know you arent going to listen to me, and you will be an angry, immature, ignorant, flamer.

It's a Teaser boys, i have no doubt in my head their will be dual wielding, they even said the trailer was designed to have least impact on the project at hand, just because it was not in the trailer means nothing. I guarantee it will be it the game and im glad, the game was balanced in halo 2

Dual wielding is fine with me. I don't really use it but that doesn't mean I don't want it out of the game. Other people just say to take it out of the game because they don't use it, other people do though so think about that.

Wonder if he was any good with a sniper or battle rifle, even without a plasma pistol you could easily drop a dual wielder.

  • 05.09.2006 6:43 PM PDT

I know I'm not one of your favorites. I'm not even welcome in your home. But I sure could use some attention right now.

Ok, now if you are saying "Duel Wielding is pointless because it can be taken down by one weapon alone" is stupid. Duel Wielding is useful in so many occasions. When some one is in a vehicle is one. When someone just picks up over shield and you duel plasma rifle them is another. Don't say it is useless. Because it isn't. If it is so useless to you then don't duel wield. I find it helpful at times.

Taking it out IMO would be a horrible idea. Any guns of a small size with low to no recoil should be duel wieldable. It makes sense. You need to allow many types of view to this game. Not just what would make it better. "Noobing it up" makes more people buy the game. It also makes it fun. I would rather play and be happy/ have fun then be all serious about it.

Amen to that! Every weapon should be able to stand on it's own and have its own niche in the Halo3 world!

Wait, wasn't there a really, really good game based on that principle?

Oh yeah, it was named Halo. The original.

Ummm....no. I've played Halo 2 on 360 without any problems.

It is possible bungie will find a way to incorporate single wield and dual wield weapons in the game.....none of us know the specs of the weapons yet (Bungie might not even know yet) so we cant make assumptions.

well i say that your wrong because the duel wielding wasn't that bad because you probaly could only die from it if it gets to close and domates you to obilvion then your soul will go down in the halo 2 community and you end up modding or stand-bying.... but my point is that it is a good idea to keep in make you look cool and you could be the guy mowing down the innocent lvl 20 who knows.


What if they just merged both the weapons so there is a setting to bring back the old game
