Ok...ill give it a try (and on the other hand, there is a forum user by the name of -Sparky-, so I don't want to be confused with him [even though he's really awesome]) lol
Halo 3 introduced us to the two's alliance, and now it seems weird not to see them together. They're like Batman and Robin, SpongeBob and Patrick, Harold and Kumar, etc.
I also agree with you on 343 adding dual wielding to Halo 5.
