Yes, as said here, I'm slightly interested but what are the duties of this writer? We need more detail than that.

Male Argonian, they just look awesome and everyone else compared to them looks lame. x)

The only three games I got/am getting that comes/came out this year is Mass Effect 3, Pokemon White 2, and Halo 4. I hate CoD and GTA, and never got into the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, or Borderlands series while I still have to finish Resident Evil 1 before I can get 6. I haven't heard of much else coming out.

I love the Needle Rifle, Plasma Rifle, and Plasma Repeater, but I'll have to go with Needle Rifle just because I use it the most.

Xbox, because they actually appear to update. I don't own a PS3, but my friend has one and every couple of months I use one. It could just be the static appearance, but to my little understanding they barely even update it. Xbox has Netflix, allows you to stream movies/TV/music on Zune, you have HBO, ESPN, ect. The software always updates and for the better in my opinion. Playstation definitely has some good exclusives, I'll give it that, but there's like no social connection. It's better for you if you play single player games with Xbox for multiplayer. That's just a general statement as PS3 has Killzone, a good multiplayer game while Xbox has Mass Effect 1 is a good single player. There's more, and probably better examples, but in my opinion Xbox has a better set of games and software. You are on a Xbox-Exclusive industry's forum so expect to hear nothing but PS3-bashing and Xbox-praising.

Thank you my fellow warrior!

I have a question, then. When you go to your Reach stats, does that Spartan/Elite featured there ever revert to your player model? Or is it completely random? I was just curious about it.

I have joined quite a while ago, and I'm not even sure if I made a post so I thought I should say hello now. I'm a passionate fan of the Sangheili, my favorite race, and still cling on to them hopefully including them in Halo 4. I have always loved Halo, except I didn't care much for Reach as it didn't feel too much like Halo to me, but I do play and enjoy the anniversary playlists. I do play Halo 3 sometimes as well. So that's just a bit about me and Halo, and saying hello.

So do we ;D

I think the original dual wield system was fine, and I do get what you're saying with the new features of it, I find those specific ones unnecessary, and would much rather have a system more similar to Halo 3's system. To be honest I don't get what you're saying with them being bad by themselves. Plasma Rifle is a great and personal favorite weapon of mine, and the SMG does fine as well. They're very similar, plasma rifle, SMG, spiker, ect; good power and fire rate, low range. Works out fine. By themselves I've used them, and same when they're dual wielded. Same goes with the magnum and mauler. Dual wielding swords is a terrible idea. Sure, it'd be cool for Machinima, appearance, which would quickly be worn out anyway, but the game mechanics would be all screwed up with it. The same exact thing goes for the energy spike (I believe it's called), appearance is cool, mechanics would be screwed up. They should be as good as just any weapon that is there, AR, BR/DMR, Carbine/Needle Rifle, ect, but when you dual wield it, the reticle should become larger, decreasing accuracy for power. This all depends on bloom being absent however, which I'm not suggesting nor disagreeing with. The Jackal Shield idea has very similar thoughts although it works a lot differently. It could be interesting, a bit unoriginal such as MW2, but not the worst idea. It'd be hard to do, considering jackal's size and their shields, providing very little cover. But the whole energy battery concept is interesting. It could be cool, but not the best choice and I won't be too excited, nor will I complain if it's implemented in, if dual wield is in at all.
