Dual wield was a really interesting way of being able to put your favorite two sidearms together in Halo 2&3. I believe that bringing it back would open up new opportunities for which two weapons would go great together. For example, you could have a plasma pistol to take down the shield of an elite and then one of those brute revolver shotgun-like guns for the finisher. Dual wield would be so much fun to have in this game
Yeah they should add it, but the way the game is heading it doesn’t look like it. I just hope they do the game right even without it.
I actually liked the dual wielding option back then. I felt like a bad -Yoink- when I was doing it mowing down enemies. If they do bring that option back I’m sure they’ll make it balanced like they did in H2/3. Imagine running around with two shottys or rockets.
Yeah I never understood why they took that away.
I’m not sure about it. We didn’t see it in halo infinite demo.
The main issue with duel wield is that it meant the weapons were made worse to compansate. I think it would work as an upgrade you can get while playing.
I’d like it if they brought it back. Loved dual wielding the SMG and combining different weapons.
the problem they had with dual wield is they nerfed half the weapons to make it work… had to have 2 magnums to have the same strength of what normally would be 1, same with plasma weapons and so on. It looked cool and they had incorporated it in well but I personally was glad they got away from it. The pistols were always my favorite weapons and just borderline unusable in halo3. I would be surprised if they brought it back at all but if they do I hope that they don’t nerf any of the weapons to do it.
Duel wield is a sick game mechanic which works even better in campaign. However in terms of multiplayer, it throws so much balance out of whack because one could just pick up two SMGs and defeat a shotgun.
Halo has been a game about strategic map control and power weapons so it would not be beneficial unless you want to render the single-wield versions of the weapons useless.

ya pretty much and if the single-wield version is nerfed then the only point to dual wield is “it looks cool”
It’s probably going to be a campaign only upgrade ability.
it would be nice.
I would love to see it return. Dual-wielding those brute revolvers (I think) in Infinite would make for some epic moments.
Balance needs to be reimagined.
Melee should be possible, but no grenades.
Weapons need to be first and foremost perfectly competent on their own in competitive and social multiplayer, as well as campaign.
Balance should be brought in with longer reload times and some serious accuracy penalties particularly when fired at the same time, rather than just making them weaker.
can’t agree more!
Yes Duel wielding should return I dearly miss it.
I get why people want dual wielding back but after people MCC the last few months… duel wielding is awful and I rarely use it. If you aren’t locking down precision weapons you’re playing wrong.
I want dual wielding back it didnt have much use in multiplayer but it was awesome in campaign I hope we get it back. 343 please give me my two smgs back.
I fully agree with the author
