i agree. how would they go about something like that. he had the ability to duel weild.. and now he just cant use his left hand for more than throwing grenades... he must have -blam!-ed to much and got carpal tunnel syndrome in his left hand... and i think duel weilding does bring more strategy to the game to a cirten extent. like the others said.. if you need your precious grenades that took absolutely no skill to use in order to kill someone.. then just take a BR and be done with is. this way you got an effective weapon if you got skill. or you still got your grenades if you suck.

and just for the record. halo 2 on legendary was WAY harder than halo on legendary. if you play halo 2 through on legendary and the go back to the first one on legendary.. then you will see a BIG difference and how much easier you fly through all the levels.. and if you say thats because you don't have the duel weild option then your a racist against duels!!!
DEULS MUST STAY!

p.s. forgive any grammar, spelling mistakes and typos that i have made in that comment. i dont have the time or the will to go back and correct them. so if you don't like my view and try to get back at me by pointing out those mistakes and imperfections. then you are no lower than Hitler himself and should be banished from this earth

Duel Wielding is fine. You both have advantages, so its even. The person with a single weapon has the advantage of throwing a grenade at you on moments notice, and you have the advantage of have double the fire power. Its not that hard to kill a duel wielder with a single smg or plasma pistol without using grenades though, you just need to know what you're doing.

As I've said before, sucess depends much more on how you play rather than your gun.

I don't think dual wielding should be thrown out, I think the weapons should be. bring back what made H:CD good: great weapons.

Try going through "The Maw" on legendary and tell me that we need dual wielding.
Halo1 was easy on legendary especailly "The Maw". Halo2 on legendary enemies easily wipe the floor with you, so go play Halo2 on legendary and then come back.

i agree

Try taking on two brutes in leandary then talk about getting rid of dual wielding.


Did you beat "The Maw" on legendary, if you did, guess what, YOU DIDN'T HAVE DUAL WIELDING AND YOU DIDN'T NEED IT.
Well guess what mr.fathead, halo 2 is diffrent then Halo CE.

Duel weilding has saved my life several times. I don't want to see it gone.

Disagree. Dual weilding has to stay. For all you guys who think it's pointless and unfair, you don't have to do it!!!!!!!!! I mean jeez you guys are damn near crying about it.

Thing is dual wielding isnt the ultimate for close range. How many times have you been rocked by a sword or shotgun guy way up close whilst you are dual-wielding?

Dual-wielding is a great option that doesnt guarantee its user a victory. Its all about personal skill and tactics. Like you'll never see anyone dual wield on coag for the reason that dual wielding sucks over long ranges.

But to reiterate my point;

You have to go.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

sure, remove dual wielding. Why dont we replace brute shots with paintball guns and their blades with pillows while we're at it?

If you didn't notice, i was bieng sarcastic.

... if you like duels don't use them.
Duels shouldn't be taken out the game because anyone with any sence can relise that if you can hold two guns at once, it would be best too cause it makes your life a hell of alot easier and the master chief is pretty intelligent.
so simply instead of complaining just don't use them...

ok i know that the dual wielding in halo 2 wasnt perfect (you can't melee without dropping you left weapon) but it sure as hell was better than the dual wielding in Halo:CE

I can see your point to a degree.

What I would hope to see is a return of the pistol from HCE, but maybe still leave it weak for multiplayer... then you can have duals... I dunno.. I really believe, like you, that HCE's weapons were very balanced (then again, most were from Marathon - and it looks like you are a fellow marathon fan. :))
