My biggest concern with dual weilding is that if you're playing with boxer (boxer is in Halo 2), does that me we have to reach down to the 'B' button to shoot our second gun? that would suck. They should make the melee temporarily switch to 'B' whilst dual wielding so we can use 2 trigger happiness. Same with vehicles with 2 fire functions (like Scorpion and Banshee and the yet unrevealed Covenant Umbra)

what do you guys think?

anyone who thinks that duel plasma rifles will own because ur target slows down so much is wrong.. Plasma rifle now doesnt slow you down at all when you get hit by it. Infact i was really disapointed with the plasma rifle. Its good for taking down shields but the plasma postol is better.
The best combo ive found was
plasma pistol/smg
2x smgs
duel neadlers
neadler/smg
all those combos are better than any weapon and plasma rifle. oh also the plasma rifle can be shot for like 3 times longer before it over heats.


I agree with everything you say una, its true.
The fuel rod gun... I've played every map and not found it, yes and I've looked everywhere.
Oh and hehe to those that play CTF and think you have strategies to run into the base then jump in a banshee or a ghost back to your base, muahaha the only way your going to get back to your base via transport is if someone drives you in a hog! and bare in mind that vechicles can be destroyed =D

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

My apologies first and foremost but I could not stand it anymore. Does anyone bother to read through the entire forum before posting? Chances are if the post is longer then 4 or 5 pages, your question has been answered already. Reading the subject line is also helpful.

Everyone here is a member of these forums becasue they like Halo and are extremely excited to get thier hands on Halo 2, so no need to post "Halo 2 is gonna rock" 349 times. I know its hard to sometimes curb your enthusiasm, but maybe more people would read through an entire forum instead of posting a question that has been asked 10 times already if the forum wasnt cluttered with "halo 2 rules!!! halo 2 is the best game ever" a thousand times. Lets just try to keep to the subject a little. you want to chat with your friends... thats what IM is for.

I apologize to anyone that this doesnt apply to, but Im just sick and tired of reading through 20 BS pages of posts to get a little info. A man can only take so much "hey I played the french version and the new weapon is #*%&$*@#%; hey guys i played it already cuz my dad went down on bill gates and got a demo; halo 2 rocks; whats a &$*(#^*@$?"

One more thing, SPELLING & GRAMMAR! Yes, there are certain grammatical conventions that have come about with the internet (ie spose = suppose, etc) but some of the spelling in here borders on mental retardation. To those of you whom english isnt your first language, then I applaude you for being able to communicate in a different language. Many of us cant say the same (including myself) not to mention those of us to whom english is our first language and still can communicate effectively.

Yes, this is somewhat flamish and to that, I apologize, just needed to say it before I read the same question 50 times again.

Thanks.

Ok the whole idea of dual weilding is awsome and all, But that fact that you only limited it to those weapons and forgot to add a few is a little odd. No im not talking about the rocket launcher or the snipers, So why did you not add it into the game, the shotguns are almost the best weapon you guys created, so why leave it out completely?

I hear you buddy, but damn, after you said all that we can see some idiotic fools that still carry on the intranet plague! AHHHH!

Oh and this is also bugging me to hear, I've held the needler in my right hand, and fired it, "woooo ahhh", but I answer thy call... BECAUSE IT'S NOT FASTER! It has a slower rate when wielded as one, but two duel wielded needlers are jaw dropping. The amount and spray of purple needles glide furiously through the air and yet seem to home on your target better, faster, and also not to forget deadlier too.

The large and tiny details Bungie have put into Halo 2 is just amazing, stunning, mouth watering. Put it this way, as we all know, it's GOD, worship it, make an altar, make any writen based information upon Halo 2 your bible.

I'm sure this question has been answered before and I'm gonna answer it now... YOU CAN NOT DUAL SHOTGUNS BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO HANDED! If you can't read that, then please get your eyes checked. And you can't dual swords because you would have no ability to move your arm with it's awkward design if you had two. It's just common sense, not rocket science.

The only thing I have to say is this: 1) 24-36 people means you'll have anywhere from six to nine groups of four wanting to play. 2) You better hope your projector can handle the high resolution value the game needs in order to be played. 3) You do realize that the stores are going to be sold out of that game really soon right?

I forgot to mention something else: 4) You do realize that yours and the following participants topics don't even relate to the forum right?

Hopefully you do because if you don't then you must really feel like complete and utter idiotic perimeciums.

Now if only you had mentioned which weapons you intended on dual wielding with during your halo 2 birthday orgy; then it would have been an appropriately placed post. I have to agree with Seed on this one.

mmmmmm..... twin needlers...... yummy

My dual weapon selection will be Twin Needlers, Twin Human Pistols, and Twin SMG. I can't have one different because I have obsessive compulsive disorder and I freak out if something isn't equal or symmetrical.
