Subject: Why can't my Spartan hold his or her gun in her or his left hand.

I'm ambidextrous and therefore want to be able to switch which hand my spartan holds her or his gun in depending on what map it is and what side i spawn on. Apparently Spartans can only be right-handed.

To be honest, when I first saw all this in the weekly update I thought 2 things.
#1- there is an actual legendary ending but,
#2- No matter what anyone does,(kill all the bobs, hit all switches etc) that until the "time" mentioned in "There'll be another time..." is reached there won't be a legendary ending.

The weekly update by bungie has slowed my hardcore search for what unlocks the legendary ending.

Just because your Both handed (lol) that doesn't mean the character in the game is too. The way I see it, your lucky have a gun while Johnson has 2 sticks and a rock.

Halo isn't the only game like this. Most if not all have the character holding the weapon in their right hand.

Learn to adapt.

I have adapted, but I still want the ability to choose which handedness my character is.

I've never seen an FPS with a lefty option.

I want the option for Halo Reach to stop sucking.

O wait.

Counter Strike was left handed by default. In CS:Source you can change your 'handedness'. UT2k3 lets you switch as well.

Counter strike is the reason I want my gun in the left hand and wish you could do this in Halo, I always felt like I could see more of the screen and just felt better playing with it in the left.

I'ma lefty, but too many PC games conditioned me to put right hand aim movement with a mouse to gun goes on the right. I tried playing CS the other night with the gun on the left, ate it big time.

And knowing is half the battle.

The other half is red lasers and blue lasers.

They kill left-handed people at birth in the middle-east or something.

They're abominations. Not fit to be Spartans.
