Even if everyone in this thread voted YES on taking out dual wielding, it still wouldn't be removed.
The very idea of forgetting or not knowing how to use two one handed weapons simultaneously is stupid. To think that the Master Chief will suddenly forget how to pick up another weapon is retarded.
The power drop is somewhat necessary. Imagine dual wielding two Halo 1 pistols. WAY too powerful. Finding a balance between a weapon being useful on it's own, yet not being too powerful when used with another weapon is harder than you think.
The SMG could use a boost in power though, and the Magnums are way too weak.
(IMO) I think this is the general consensus, just fix the DW system, balance it out and give the weapons that need a power boost that boost. I think removing DW is an extreme, as in if they can't find a way to balance the sytem. But if they can't, then i say let DW be a thing of the past.
p.s. Dual weilding the Halo:ce pistol would be ridiculous, i hope nobody is really suggesting that. I do want the pistol back, same strength, but obviously not dual weildable.
