I know this would seem like a standard “Bring it back!” sorta post but hear me out…In my opinion if 343i brought back the playable Elites, then they should also bring deul-weilding back as well! I mean, think aout it, you can have all the standard duel-weilds then that is good, but then, give the Elites the ability to duel-weild with Energy Swords! Anyone see anything wrong with my idea, and anything good about it? What’s your thoughts?
I was actually surprised that dual-wielding wasn’t back in Halo 5. With all these cool ‘walking tank’ abilities we have: Can boost, flip over tanks, drop from ridiculous heights BUT
Can’t shoot + run at the same time
Can’t dual-wield
Bring back playable elites, leave out duel wield… And my opinion will never ever change

Maybe Master Chief forgot how to dual wield during his 3 year nap
Reach did playable elites right - having spartans vs elites in regular matchmaking presented a lot of issues. I wouldn’t be opposed if they returned this way.
I’m also not against duel wielding, but it seems like it was more of a gaming phase or trend than something that actually added to the game. It was pretty damn good in Halo 2 - if you couldn’t get a BR grab a plasma pistol or rifle and go to town (especially with SMG starts). Made less sense in Halo 3 as they depowered the magnum and plasy p.

I thought the same exact thing. It didn’t make sense to me. If they bring it back, I’ll be PUMPED!
Just give me the Brute Shot and I’ll be happy.

Exactly? Although I was surprised it wasn’t in Halo 4 either…Maybe it was like with Red vs Blue robots…Bi-operative arm movements are optional? xD

Did you know, as a little fact, that it actually is specified withinthe Halo lore that Elites and Humans actually train together in wargames?

Ye same…thank guys for seeing this btw…I think I’m gonna rank up soon, idk…anyway thanks!
It was kind of funny when in Halo 4, Master Chief suddenly forgot how to hold two guns :3
But in reality you cant have dual wielding in Halo 5 Guardians...Itll just be too un balanced and over powered, can you imagine duel SMGs with Halo 5 or pistol haha, you can tell Bungie did it with the Needlers in Halo 3 because of how OP they were in Halo 2.

Four years and also don’t bring dual wielding back
I was not a huge fan of duel wielding because I feel like it makes the guns very weak by themselves
A playable Elite megathread already exists, with over 10,000 posts. It’s been running since 2012.
Not for me, never really liked elites and always loved brutes, so give me playable brutes
Feel free to use the Elites megathread.
