I think they should get rid of duel wielding. To many good aspects of Halo CE were lost for a novelty...weapons watered down, no freeze effects for the plasma


Or.. What if they kept dual wielding around and the game played exacly like Halo? Instead of picking up one secondary weapon, you picked up two? Assuming it was able to be dual wielded - such as the plasma pistol/rifle? And you could still melee and toss grenades?

There, you just got rid of dual wielding, and kept it around at the same time. Not that it will ever happen, though.

I think most of you are missing my point. My idea is to make it so you don't have to drop your second weapon to melee or switch to your other weapon. You are REALLY blowing this out of proportion!
Dual wielding is already unbalanced enough as is - Halo 3 better fix this. Making it take less skill, and be more powerful is not the way to go.

I think you should be able to melee w/o dropping one, because why do you need to drop your left weapon to melee with the right one?


It's all about choices.

In the time that it takes to melee, you could be firing your Dual SMG's, or whatever guns you're using. Melees do a lot of damage already, so it's a choice of sacrifice.

Either:

Do a lot of damage with a punch, but use only one weapon to finish them off, or:

Continue firing two weapons (which does a lot of damage but takes slightly longer).

It depends on the situation. If you could melee and still DW on someone afterwards, that's massively overpowered and unfair to the just-spawned person holding one SMG.

It's an already balanced equation, and being able to Fire Two guns after a powerful melee would make things a little rediculous and frustrating for others on the receiving.

There is no doubt that dual wielding is a cool new feature to the Haloverse, but it is a seriously flawed system that Bungie can fix in Halo 3..

Every single weapon and Vehicle has been weakened due to the dual wielding feature that was introduced..why? I don't know, but there was an easier option.

All single-handed weapons should be stronger, so that they are useful on their own, and don't need a dual wield counterpart to be effective (compare the Halo plasma Rifle with the Halo 2 Plasma Rifle)

The way to fix this is to make dual wielded weapons less accurate (it makes sense - you are holding it with one hand instead of two now..and it has no stock extended) and make the player reload both weapons seperately, rather than at the same time...

(How do we rub our thighs with our SMG-Magnum combo, and it automatically reloads?)

This would make dual wielding take skill, be balanced, and everything won't need to be severely weakened to utilize this feature.

In Halo 2 campaign dual wielding Elites could smack you without dropping any of there weapons (unless you kill them).

I disagree because it would be such an inconvenience to make a command to drop your secondary weapon and when I throw a grenade, i know i can do it quickly by hitting B than L, its just comfrtable that way.

There's this thing called balance.....

a. Choosing to (create a command for that)
b. Throwing a grenade.


So, agree or disagree?


A. there is a command for that - the Y button
B. how can you throw a grenade if you have a gun in each hand?
