I wonder if you'll be able to Dual weild plasma swords? That would be awsome! I don't think they've announced anything like that, but if anyone has heard let me know!

Yes. I saw video footage of it from this year's E3. There is a copy some where. I don't think it was IGN, but that might be it. Go checkt here. Otherwise I know there are many mirrors of the video at halo.bungie.org. Check their news section from last week. It's there.

As for the dual plasma rifles... It sucks if you ask me.

The plasma rifle looked like it was one-handed in halo one, so you might be able to. Anyway, I don't think that you'll be able to dual wield plasma swords. You'd just be able to constantly do that lunge attack thing to go all the way down the field and you be be invincible to everything but snipers and plasma grenades (for the most part).

SB-117

I dont think anyone knows....perhaps we should ask bungie to confirm or deny it?

You can only duel-wield one-handed weapons. And no, you cant duel-wield plasma swords because its too powerful as a single weapon already. Bungie ants all guns that are duel-wielded to be balanced. Im not sure about duel-wielding weapons with zoom features either

SMG + Needler is the best way to go. The needles take longer to get to your opponent. So when your dropping your opponent's shield with your SMG, those needles will be sticking to him ready to explode. When you get his shield down enough with the SMG, the needles will explode, killing your opponent... Best way to go folks!

Duel Wielding Plasma Swords is NOT possible and is proven in the E3 demo. Notice after he picks up the Plasma Sword, he drops both the SMG and the Needler.

Actually in the E3 demos i saw the needler was just as fast as the SMG. Now it's actually a weapon you might want to keep!

its all about both needlers. If I couldn't love the needler enough in Halo, I'll be swimming in my own urine from peeing myself after playing with 2, amped-up needlers in Halo 2.

As much as I'd like to use a SMG in combination with my Plasma Sword Bungie, in their wisdom, determined that the Plasma Sword is far too powerful to be allowed as anything other then a two handed weapon even though you can see your second hand clearly empty.

Dude, dual plasma swords would be amazing.

The Second I read the title of your post, I had a vision. It was like the opening scene of the matrix reloaded, except in a building in new Mombasa. And instead of Trinity bursting out of the window, it's the master chief. And in mid-air he turns around, whips out his dual SMGs, and then an elite comes jumping out after him with DUAL PLASMA SWORDS!!!!!!! if they had that in the game, it would be SO FREAKING AWESOME.

or something like that, I dunno.
