I recently stumbled upon a handy trick to carry more than 2 guns around. I just went through almost all of Two Betrayals with a Rocket Launcher, a Pistol, the Shotgun and the Sniper. The only times you can't do it is when you take the Banshees. That and any elevator related activities. If you already know how to do it, ignore this thread.
The trick is in lining up your weapons and precise timing/footwork. You can even successfully strafe and use the weapons, though it takes a good amount of practise. What you do is throw down the weapons you want in a line, about 1 "Halo meter" from each other. Walk over the first weapon and hold X as you go over it, causing you to throw the weapon in front of you. Now keep moving full speed and quickly release X and then hold it again, and you will pick up the next gun, causing you to throw the recently picked up weapon ahead of you. With good timing and footwork you will easily be able to juggle between the 3 weapons (2 on the ground and one in your hand), allowing you to tote around a much more efficient arsenal. Make sure to keep a power weapon in the hand that isn't being used, just incase you get ambushed or happen to stumble upon some unfortunate Covenant (not the dethrowned Gold Elite. Did I say to much?...)
Hope you can use the info.
