I would like to see what weopons for dual wielding you would like. I personally would like to see dual wielding energy swords. Also when holding the flag or skull I hope you can carry a gun for protection.

Holding the skull and not been able to shoot was the whole point of the game. In team games you had to rely on team cover and with one-for-alls you had to see how long you could evade enemy fire.

Same with the flag, if you could just turn around and fire then it would take away the whole exciting buzz of knowing you can't protect yourself and having to get home to your base.

Also, I heard somewhere that you can't drive while holding the flag. Sounds sensible. As nipping in and out with a ghost seemed a pretty cheap (but effective) way of winning. I reckon this will increase the amount of strategy by leaps and bounds. Think about it, once you have the flag, you either have to run the length of the map or mae sure a team mate is there to evac. you.

Man you people are thick today. Bungie has already said that only single handed can be dual wielded. No others. Which would include the following(these are confirmed)

M6D
Sub-machine Gun
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Rifle (I've seen this done already, *cries*)
Needler
and maybe that new Magnum pisotl mentioned inside Halo: First Strike

Now for the balanced list for those that are not, and make sense because of it.

MA5B
M90
M19 SSM
S2 AM
Battle Rifle
Covenant Carbine
Fuel Rod Gun
Plasma Blade

I am going for single weapons:
SMG x2
Plasma Rifle x2
Plasma pistol x2
Human Pistol x2(if they still have it...wasnt in Zanzibar...)
Needler x2
and plasma blade x2
for combined:
I would have them all mixed up anyway except for the plasma blades. You cant carry that and a shooting weapon. Only a single or double.

well that list basically sums it up, along with some new weapons that may be small enough to duel weild, i dont think you'll be able to have 2 energy swords though.

am i the only person who thinks dual energy swords are pointless? You have one so you dont really need a second! But I think plasma pistol + SMG would be an awesome combination!

You guys missed all the clues that imply that you won't be able to dual weild the Plasma Sword. First...there is only one Plasma Sword on the level so therefore you won't be able to hold two. Secondly...when you dual weild weapons you can not use the melee attack and being that the Plasma Sword is a melee weapon it will be out of the question.

You cant dual weild rocket launchers there buddy. You need 2 hands to reload the rocket launcher.

You could always drop one on the ground and then reload one then do a repeat process ;) it'd only cost you about 30 seconds and your inevitable doom, so why not?! [/sarcasm]
