I was watching old halo 3 clips and I wondered why Halo 4 and 5 don’t have a duel wield option. Also I can’t recall if ODST did, opinions anyone?
As cool as it may be, dual-wielding should be regarded as dead as a rock.
It’ll destroy the delicate gameplay balance and some combinations would be totally overpowered / useless.
maybe it could be dedicated to a specific playlist like classic mode or duel wield only.
It’s very possible that it could. We survived 2 main games with it, so we know it can work.
I think it should return. Take out sprint for it.
I think it definitely could return with some tuning. It has to keep a very delicate balance somewhere between useless and overpowered.
I know some people want this back because it was fun and maybe for nostalgia, but I don’t think it would really add anything to the game at this point. There are so many weapon options now that there’s no real need for dual wielding.
No. While I use to be an advocate for it returning to Halo I’ve since realized it’s probably best for it not to return.
They won’t because it seems to be the popular opinion that it ruins the balance of the weapons and makes them awkward & useless but I’m not really too sure that’s true because H3 did it pretty decently.
I actually just thought of a creative way to make them work more balanced a few nights ago, will have to take a look at what’s possible in forge to see if I can get some kind of prototype running.
I hope not because it made most weapons useless unless you were dual wielding and even then they weren’t that great. H5 has nailed weapon balance IMO. Every weapon is actually useful now. I love being able to use a variety of weapons.
ODST didn’t have any duel wielding. Also dual wielding is weird for me. It is good at some points but terrible at some points. I don’t mind having it in the game either way.

this would be a waste of time and resources, since you’d have to build the whole sandbox around dual wielding,
just for this one playlist which probably wouldn’t have a a decent enough popularity to to make all this worth.
If the fans crave enough and it gotten a good time on it it would return as I want it back in Halo. I can on my imagine the weapon combinations I use with the weapons we have now in the game. Duelwieldied Gunfighters or Whispered Truths would intresting.
Dual wielding wasn’t in ODST…
When dual wielding wasn’t in the game, I knew in the back of my head that dual wielding would never return…
Even though I support dual wielding and want it back…It isn’t going to happen because 343i is mostly focused on the competetive side of Halo…
I sure as hell hope it doesn’t come back. Never liked having a piece of -Yoink- Magnum like Halo 3’s…

I was an advocate for its return under a loadout system similar to what Halo 4 had with it’s customizable “perks” (aka the tactical packages and support upgrades). I figured if someone was willing to equip a “perk” that allowed them to turn one of their loadout weapon slots into a duel wielding weapon slot they’d be sacrificing the benefit of another perk for that beneficial ability; however, players would need to be limited to choosing between weapons that were specifically designed to work in that fashion.
I could still see it working for a mode (in Halo 6?) that blended in part what Halo 4 offered and Halo 5’s very social leaning Warzone environment, but I’m sure it would require a lot of development investment for a feature that may not really be worth it.

I meant classic as in H3 style they already have the maps lmao
I think you should be just able to dual wield that’s it. Anything more, that’d be overdoing it. But I sure hope they re-add it. 343 needs to make halo 6. (Hopefully with dual-wield) and to not disappoint halo players by killing the main character off. Otherwise the next series will suck. The reclaimer series will never be the same!
Halo 2 was the worst magnum by far. It looked like the glock. Halo 3 was the same as halo ce’s magnum.
I hope it returns, and i hope we can weild crazy stuff in campaign. For instance dual weilding two handed weapons.
i dont think it will return anytime soon though, unless its in a spin off side game.
