Dual - wielding?

OK, we all know dual-wielding was in 3 but not Reach. What do you guys think should happen in 4?

Let me put it this way. Did you ever pick up a spiker in halo reach MM? Likely the answer is no. In halo 3 however, you could destroy people with dual weilded spikers and SMGs. So yes, PLEASE bring back the dual weild.

I think it should be in Halo 4. Even though dual wielding isn’t very good in the other games, it still makes you feel like a badass. They’re putting a lot of effort into making Spartans/Chief feel like Super Soldiers so it’d make sense to have dual wielding in the game too. They just need to make it better. For example, you should be able to swap to your other weapon and keep both of your dual wield weapons.

True. This would also allow developers to make weaker and more balanced weapons with the excuse that they could be dual.

Dual wielded weapons should have more recoil and be less accurate so single wielding them can still be done without hurting balance. But I’m fairly sure it’s been reported that there is no dual wielding, which in my mind makes zero sense.

YES, SMG and plasma rifle together just owned i loved it and dual maulers tehy were like hand shot guns

I so miss dual wielding, it was so incredible effective in Halo 3.

Oh god yes!:slight_smile:

I wanna duel wield a BR and a DMR

not if it means the dual-weldable weapons are sucky in one-weld for balance purpose.

Sarcasm doesn’t translate over the Internet very well

I think they should. The only reason I see that they’d remove it again would be ‘harming the golden triangle of Halo’ or something I think they said in a Reach documentary. Dual wielding is a tough one though because it means that single wield weapons that can be dual’ed might suck on their own, which really shouldn’t be the case. I think the only thing they could do is make them a tighter fire pattern when single’d or high recoil when dual’ed - something along those lines.
They could still make it work though - it’d be nice to see a togglable switch to turn it on/off in games too just in case they get it wrong or if it does affect the flow of the game which it probably wouldn’t.

yes please i loved it haha

I think in some interview they said it would not return. I’d love to see it return, however. SMG+Plasma rifle was my favorite combo since Halo 2.

If they bring it back i hope you don’t drop your offhand weapon when you switch weapons or melee. It just doesn’t make sense! “Oh crap! I’d better drop the weapon on my left hand so i can smack that guy with the weapon in my right hand!”

It says that there still is no dual wielding as of yet. so either its not in game or it has not been revealed as of yet.

idk its just the there is still. its like they havent said anything about it yet (in my opinion) so unless i hear it from a legit 343 worker or someone who tests the game or whatever. im calling nothin. (Just ma opinion
