Probably the same way he forgot how to throw grenades from H1 to H2.

Pfft, are you kidding? He just wants his opinion out there and might never see this forum again..

.. That's what I'd do.

No, just kidding. Uh, I believe dual-wielding should still be in there, because I would surely question of the loss of a Spartan's ambidexterity.

To balance things out for the duel weildable weapons. Have headshots count. So if you don't have an extra gun, and your using a Plasma Rifle, just aim at the head and he should die more quickly. Same goes for all of the other smalll weapons. it takes around 25 shots to kill someone with an SMG, to the head, it would be about 15. You have to be truley accurate though. and this would be harder with duel weilding, I like how the crosshair gets bigger thing, but that wouldn't work with plasma.

I said no because dual wielding kills weapon variety a little bit, the PR doesnt have a freeze effect in halo2 because it would overpower it when it was used with an SMG, so they made a PR = a retarded SMG, every dualwieldable gun sucks in halo2 by itself, exept magnum but a BR beats that in everyway making magnum = pointless. The PP is the exeption because it is pointless to dualwield but pwnz when its on its own.

Variety? Duel weilding had more variety, switching up to make diffrent combos. The weapons were really weak. alone you had:
* Faster reload
* Grenades
* switc hweapons faster.

It still balances out. Just see my post and it will be perfected.

Plain and simple: If you dont like dual weilding, dont use it. If you dont like other people dual weilding either

A) Suck it up.
or
B) Get a weapon with a scope, and do something about it.

Why is that? Every dual wieldable weapon aside from the PP (and sometimes magnum) is just spray and pray making them have very little variety. Halo1 had the AR which was good all around damage, the PR which had less damage than AR but had a freezing effect,needler was still bad... pistol was an powerfull gun all around (like the BR)

Halo 1 was great for control. Right trigger shoots. left trigger smacks and grenades go on the b button. Granted, I could have used some more triggers (thanks Xbox for setting back game controllers to the Dreamcast era. At least you included a second analog stick surprisingly) but you can't have everything in a hard-core gamer's console (ha!).
Then Halo2 came out with dual-wielding. It sure screwed up smacking. My precious smacking. The 360 has more triggers (they finally wised up a little too late. The 2 trigger controller ruined good shooters that excelled on the Ps2 like Timesplitters. They really dumbed that down for BOTH consoles with the last release, thanks to Halo controls - which had to adapt to stupid Microsoft controllers) so it shouldn't be that much of an issue.
If you had asked me at the advent of Halo 2 , my answer would have been NO dual wielding. But now it's okay for the 360.
Just my humble opinion, boys...

Dual Wielding is a good idea cuase it can show how good you can operate without gernades or an accurate gun. It was obviously meant for small maps and when used there it would work pretty good, although they suck anyway. But it can give more variety for the time and by useing it right you can have the right weapons for the right situation. Or you could be griff and have the extra ammo. Using it that way is kinda stupid but at least you can have those movie moments...."I need more ammo, Ahhh"*drops smg*"Take it, Ahhh, when was it decided that I had to carry the ammo?" But seriously you could have an smg and it would be good, but when you pick up another one they both are weakened, so a guy with one versus a guy with 2 could have a chance.
