Before dual-wielding will completely be taken out from halo series I want to make my personal suggestion on how it could really work in game. I think it should be an ARMOR ABILITY. And the way it is used is simple. Person sets up class with primary and single secondary. But when an opponent is killed, the ability will allow to pick up an eligible gun as secondary. By eligible, I mean another pistol, smg, plasma rifle, plasma pistol and etc. The only improvement i would like to see if its an ability is being able to hold on to them when switching between primary and secondary. But if granade is thrown then it drops. I personally think it would be balanced. People might start picking up dual-wielding weapons as primary and secondary during the game and if it will be too overpowered there is always a way to code it so that only secondary class could be dual wielded. I mean lets say your primary is pistol and secondary plasma pistol: you only allowed to dual-wield with only one of those weapons not both of them.
If you read it and you love dual-wielding and you respect my idea please sned it to 343i consideration. I don’t know whats going to be in a game and if it will not work I will be fine, I’ll still buy a game, it won’t be a deal breaker for me. But I really hope dual-wielding could return into series!
Maybe not as an AA but I do think it should stay in some form. A custom games option. Maybe a power up that spawns rarely during the game, since It doesn’t sound like we are getting many SMG’s we could dual wield rifles like AR and BR. It would be very rare to see the drop so it wouldn’t really be over powered. You could melee with it as well.
i like this idea but you should not be able to pick it up if you kill someone with it. (they had to sacrifice something for it and so should you) sadly it will not be in the game bu this is actually one of the best ideas i have heard for this game yet

I should go…
I just want to know why Chief can’t dual-wield all of the sudden.
If Dual wielding was implemented I’d rather see it used like thus – You pick up a second weapon but may only fire one at a time, but may fire them consecutively so that you may spend more time shooting between reloads (which would have an increased rate of time due to holding two weapons.) In this example, your damage might increase but it’s based on how well a player can manage having a much larger reserve of ammo at one time versus shooting two guns at once.
Can have either accuracy go down or have it remain the same (they are Spartans after all,) but I’d see that as more of a balancing factor to be determined later.
Though I personally don’t wish dual wielding to return to the Halo series.
