i think it is absolutely ridiculous that there will be no dual wielding in 4. i understood that reach was a prequel to the first halo, i hated the multiplayer cause its like everything revolves around the dmr, thats besides the point. i think dual wielding gave players more options if they wanted to use long range fine, if they wanted to go close quarters fine, if they wanted to dual wield some ridiculous combination and go at it great. My worry is that 4 will be just like reach where there are matches of teams just having a dmr off and i cant understand why it would be taken off 4, i mean did chief forget how to hold two weapons at once, how will they fit into the story? i dont see why they couldnt leave it an option just weaken the weapons. Just like the original poster i still play 3 anyday over reach, not ust for dual wielding i simply felt that every match on reach revolved around that damn dmr and halo has always been about all kinds of weapons and different ways to fight. Not just long range dmr offs. Every time i would read something new about 4 i would be like...i am pretty sure there making it into call of duty...but i was holding out for dual wielding but no they took that off and i doubt what ill buy 4 for that reason on top of several other reasons. If i want to play call of duty ill go play call of duty, thats why i have played halo all these years because it was halo and it was different. No loadouts, picking up equipment at random, thats all off topic i know but i just wish they wouldnt screw with what there already is.
oh yea i forgot another thing i was going to bring up, they said it messed with the balance of the game, that was there reason for taking dual wielding out of the game. Thats funny since the game is so balanced starting with loadouts and having equipment right off bat, i dont care about balance i want to have fun. If you want balance make dual wielding super weak, i dont care if its weak i just want to be able to do it to mix it up every once in a while. To be like hmm im not gonna sit over there and use this dmr im gonna dual wield why not ****s and giggles. So were gonna have a balanced game that isnt fun and lame, thats ok cause ill keep playing 3.
