Seriously. It’s a cool feature, maybe not necessary, but I don’t see why it wasn’t included, especially since it’s been expressed by many that it’s a feature they’d like to see again. Weapon balancing isn’t exactly difficult, and I thought it was pretty well done in Halo 2/3. Of course I don’t expect an answer in this thread and perhaps it’ll be talked about in the bulletin, but I’m interested in how the community feels about this.
Probably because they make the dual-wieldable weapons gimped when single-wielded. It’s just too gimmicky of a system in that it adds very little while impairing a large portion of the sandbox. Note that in Halo 1 the plasma weapons had a stun effect that was taken out in Halo 2, probably because stun + dual-wield would be too powerful.
Perhaps the ability to wield two weapons at once, but in a combined form, using both hands.
Ah who am I kidding. Never gonna be that cool.
I miss dual-wielding. There was no reason for it to disappear in the first place. It was a good game mechanic.
