I think the weapons would be more tactical if they were single weildable rather than dual weildable. When you dual weild you can't throw grenades which are the most tactical weapons in the game. Dual weilding just seems "shoot 'em up" style of play.

Yeah, the spartans just forgot how to use two guns at once. If anything is removed I say it be the rocket tracking.

Don't like dual wielding? Don't use it. I for one enjoy pumping two clips of SMG rounds into a sea of Grunts. It's fun.

Let's get rid of ignorant mods who enjoy their lethal dual SMGs while we are at it.

Options, options, options. The game should allow for many different customization options when creating a gametype. An option for dual-wielding to be ON or OFF would be nice.

sadly, dual wielding was not as fun as I had hoped( even though I myself am an avid plasma rifle/smg demon!) It makes no sense to make weapons weaker just so they can be stronger together. How an two PR's be barely equal to the power of 1 PR from Halo:CE?!LOL! The great thing about the first halo is that every weapon was powerful on it's own! ^_^

Duel wielding messed up the weapon balance in the second game. It'd be better for the gameplay if it was removed.

Toast always lands butterside down.
Attach to back of cat always lands on feet......

Result:Antigravity!

I think they should have it in campaign mode but leave it out of multiplayer,or they should make so you can choose.

"i want my god pistole back but i dont think thats going to happen"

The BR is a freaking pistol.

No, the BR is a craptacular substitute for the pistol.

ur all nubies "bring back the pistol or oooo batle rifle" or " no dual wielding" c'mon u want this game to be good or good for people who want to play that have no talent, the pistol was a god weapon cause it was like a mini sniper with less power and the battle rifle is alright its more balanced weapon, and no dual wielding liek yah ok what ever fck head the game would get boring then and their would be no variations and such so yah if u want some of the newbie wepons back think again fck tard.

To tell you the truth the duel wielding helps you shoot one relode the other.I'm for duel wielding espesialy with no good weapons against a hunter(even though thier easy).

Hmm, so many people complain about dual wielding. I say keep it in.

Seriously, relax people, dual wielding is not the end-all be-all n00bfest you make it out to be. I've laughed at people who scramble up to me spraying dual SMGs at the entire side of the map I'm on, only to have me take them down wit the BR at close range. Its all about when and how you use what weapons in what situations.

The SMG may be a nerfed AR, but the two are completely exclusive. I say Halo 3 should bridge the gap and bring back the AR, maybe even un-suckify the damn Plasma Pistol (I swear, I could use that damn thing like it was my.... well, you know).

For the people who say dual wielding dumbed down the game, you're completely wrong. Two SMGs can never be as effective as a good single SMG wielder, provided he has some knowledge of the dynamics of grenade throwing. Just throw a grenade at your feet, backpedal, and spray, its not that hard.

And there are tactics involved in picking what two weapons to wield. My plasma rifle+magnum combo is an amazing one, yet first chance I get I replace it with a BR, on almost any map I play on.

I'm tired of all the "Omg dual-wielding is so unbalanced! I want my 3 shot killing scoped pistol back!"
Right. Because thats completely balanced.
Geez people, theres a spot for two handers and one handers.
....
Sans the -blam!- innuendo in that last part.

dual loox cool, but suxzorz. I miss the h1 stuff like the freezing affect in the plasma weapons and no retarded smg's that don't do anything unless you melee someone. im not saying i will hate bungie if they allow dual in h3, cuz i know they will keep the halo style of having a single weapon that everyone likes (or atleast us mlg players will like), but hopefully they will do what they can to plz as many peeps as possible.

Actually, Halo 1 was one of the most balanced game because of the pistol. How is a weapon unfair when everyone has it? Its like saying shields are unfair because they recharge and its like to much health.

I'm going to go out on a whim here and say he sucked with the pistol, and therefore probably wasn't good at Halo 1 at all.

I don't think that Bungie would revert to single wielding simply because a minority of fans say so.

There should be a setup in the game before u start to power down the guns(duel-wielding) or to power up the guns(no duel wielding) or just mess with it and make more powerful duel wielding or less powerful no duel wielding any way works

I like the way duel-wielding is now. Except that the pistol was nerfed way too much after the AU.
