Echo Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Since Halo 5 is the "Halo 2" of the new trilogy, I feel like bringing back dual wielding, a long with some cool new ideas and weapons, would be a great idea. It doesn't have to dominate the game, it surely didn't in Halo 3. But they could totally make it more worth our while if they added armor mods to support it. Maybe a mod that lets you hold both dual wielding weapons in your secondary weapon slot, instead of having to drop it for your BR. Or maybe a shock mod that reduces recoil when dual wielding? But either way, what does the community think, should Halo 5 bring back dual wielding? And also, share some ideas for cool armor mods that could benefit dual wielding. (Or maybe dual wielding could be a mod in itself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A71william Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think they should. It makes sense really and Chief is shown multiple times to duel wield in cut-scenes... Perhaps and Armour Modification which actually allows you to duel-wield... If you look at the Mjoner's files it will show that it actually has specially designed arms for firing and holding.

D-38 Boss Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 It was cool, but rather pointless. If they bring it back now, it'll just give people more reason to compare it to CoD, even though halo did it before CoD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 If you guys didn't know and didn't think about it hard enough. Halo 4 DID have dual wielding, but not for everything seeing how there was only about 3-5 guns to wield. You can dual wield the Flag and a Magnum BTW is what I'm talking about.

l Xenoes l Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It would be nice if it was brought back but, only if more dual wielding weapons are put into Halo 5. The three weapons in Halo 4 that are even capable of it aren't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It was cool, but rather pointless. If they bring it back now, it'll just give people more reason to compare it to CoD, even though halo did it before CoD. It wasn't pointless in Halo 2. An SMG/Plasma Rifle combo was deadly as crap. The plasma destroyed your shield in a second and the SMG took a couple clicks of the trigger to finish them off. It could beat a BR close range. It wouldn't give them anything to compare to COD, seeing as how this was done WAAAAAAAAAAAY before COD was even popular lol. If anything it would just give us more options. For example, a player only has ammo for their secondary weapon (pistol or SMG), and someone with an assault rifle comes at them. If they manage to stay behind cover and find pretty much any other weapon on the ground to dual wield, they could then defend themselves against the other person that has a two handed rifle. Not saying it would be a definite win, but it would keep you alive longer and give you more opportunity to kill the enemy. It would be nice if it was brought back but, only if more dual wielding weapons are put into Halo 5. The three weapons in Halo 4 that are even capable of it aren't worth it. Agreed, they'd definitely bring more weapons. In Hao 4, they made a covie and promethian version of every unsc weapon. So, if we get the SMG back, that means we'd also get a covie version (prolly the return of the plasma rifle) and then the promethian version. They'd probably add one more to each just for the sake of having more selections. It would also give people more secondary weapons to pick from since there are only a handful of primary weapons (only 3-4 of which are used lol) And if the Brutes make a return in Halo 5, they could introduce Brute weapons too, and bring back the brute spiker.

Backdemon Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I loved duel wielding the Halo 2 auto-magnums, was one of my favourite experiences to mow down the gunts with 20 headshots in around 2 seconds. But the one problem with duel wielding is balancing. Halo CE's weapons seemed so powerful cause you could only have two on you at a time AND there were only around 5 weapons per faction. Halo 2's weapons were much weaker cause not only were there more, you could hold 2 at one time, meaning half the power of what it would be on its own. Im all for Duel wield, i just dont want to see the smg returning just to spit tissuepaper in halo 5. An armour mod for duel wielding could allow you to mele and drive vehicles without dropping your left hand weapon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlexVanguard Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Dual wield, but only for pistols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONxJITSU Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 um...nah. Dual weild is lame. Actually lemme rephrase that; it's fun...but i would rather leave it out in multiplayer. meh, either way I dont care about Halo 5 right now.

EpicBeaver Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Im against dual-wielding. It will give more noobs or trolls the option to pwn me. I would NOT use dual-wielding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkRavenR02 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Duel wielding should definitely be brought back. However, I think that if 343 is worried about duel wielding not being fair in Multiplayer, they should just make it a gametype option that is disabled by default but that could be used in custom games or Forgeable Firefight. Please read my post on Forgeable Firefight for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraverKING514 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Duel-wielding, if kept balanced and done right will allow for a different style of playing and not be over-powered. Just keep it simple and fair, like in Halo 2 and 3. I think it needs a bit of modification however, to make it a tactical choice that has advantages and draw backs.

Raxs Slayer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I Personally think Duel wielding in previous games was underworked. I think it would be much better if there was a support package that allowed you to duel wield your side arm. Because non-rifle weapons don't even spawn on maps anymore. And even if they did. I don't want to spend the whole game looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're "pwning" you then they're not noobs. It will bring a little of the good old halo feel back to the game and add more options into game play rather then just Precision weapon and Power Weapons. That's all people ever use in this game. I would love for a classic Halo playlist to appear. With AR start and BR/DMR spawns on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewcomber Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 no, the developers made pistols have a high ROF to compensate for duel wielding. if you have both, it would be good as a primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaulting♥Frog Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Dual needlers... enough said. Well ok I will say more. Dual wielding wasnt all that interesting to me really. Sure it was fun for a bit but the gameplay didnt change all that drastically. I dont particularly care if it comes back however I want it to be dynamic in some way. Something special instead of cheap combos for the easy win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haloman 2 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 i love dual wielding! it would bring back the old feel and old halo back! there should be dual wielding again! I think the only weapons you would be allowed to dual wield would be plasma rifle or brute plasma rifle or spiker and magnum if those guns come back in halo five. and I think there should be an armor mod for the dual wielding where you can melee and get in a vehicle with out dropping the left weapon. I hope it comes back again, cus I powned with the spiker and plasma rifle together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
