Another really cool combo would have to be plasma pistol + regular pistol(if Bungie chooses to add that to the game) one hit to your opponent will drain his shields, while the pistol can get a clean headshot. It would be just like Halo 1 except there would be no pause due to having to switch between the two guns.

As much as I'd like to use a SMG in combination with my Plasma Sword...


I agree, it would be fan-freakin-funtastic to sport a Plasma Sword with any type of gun (as well as two swords, of course).
I remember reading somewhere that you can't melee while dual-welding, but dual-welding with a sword would be like being able to melee, only deadlier. This would allow more close, hand-to-hand fighting, which Halo doesn’t have enough of in the single player game. Give me a Needler and Plasma Sword, stick me in a group of Covies and let the massacre begin!

Definitely dual handguns. Other combos might be more effective or better for certain situations, but dual handguns is just plain awesome. If Halo2 had custom music you could put in, I'd play Matrix music and go straight for dual pistols then charge. Might get myself killed, but it's all about enjoying yourself.

And dual plasma swords? Don't you think that's just a little ridiculous? Plus, how would it be any more effective? The plasmasword is a one-hit kill weapon in the first place, are you going to try and make them twice as dead?

you should be able to dual weild plasma rifles. and yes, they are one handed weapons. in the gallery they show a pic of a jackal holding one with his shield in/on the other hand/wrist. this is fun/cool.

Yes Scipio, now your talking! You kill them so bad that when they spawn in again they instantly die. DOUBLE KILL! Hahahahahahahahahaha.

P.S. You should get extra points for corpse humping. LOL

There should be an actual button for corpse humping in Halo2. Give it a new animation and keep track of them to display at the end of a game


M4st3R Ch13F: -Score- 36 -Kills- 38 -Assists- 2 -Deaths- 29 -CorpsesHumped- 23

I think dual plasma swords would just look awesome. Perhaps it would be impractical and unneccesary, but you would probably scare people away.

i think he uses his other hand to help wind up some momentum for his other swing, 2 is excessive and apparently the respawn time and difficulty in getting them make would make it hard to even get 2 at once, not that im against a ridiculous amount of over kill
as for duel wielding, just my opinion (and there aren't enough of those on the net) but maybe a rifle in one hand and pistol in the other (think about it, duel pistols would work, but duel rifles probably wouldn't) so yeah..

the swords have the crazy lunge attack and when you have two left trigger could just be another melee so it could work

the plasma sword whould be sweet to dual wield and ppl think its -blam!- because its a one hit kill and thats NOT confirmed it is when you push the right trigger and line it up and it turns red but we dont know if it will when you push 'B' and it whould look cool to like red vs. blue could make a starwars episode or somting that whould be sweet.

It'd be stupid to have dual swords, it wouldnt do anyting to help you! It'll probably make you even more dead!
"Holy crap that guys got two swords everyone get him!"
Also it'd lose your ability to throw grenades, making you seriously handicapped to anybody with a ranged weapon!
Anyway I dont have a favourite dual wielding combo, they all look pretty awesome!
*EDIT* The lunge attack is one hit kill, but it does have an ordinary attack that isnt one hit kill! And this is confirmed!

Two swords would be -blam!- as hell. Its the same reason why there's no flying tanks that shoot nukes and travel 50 billion miles an hour. Plus, it would just look dumb as hell. I'd rather it look wicked badass with a single sword.

Plus it doesn't work, go watch the e3 trailor and watch how he uses his left arm (to balance...and strike effectively).

its for looks plus if you were a distraction like that then your team could get everyone when their heads turned and you can till balance out the other side with another sword
