Duel wield specialization

[WonderWombat]

If they added dual-wielding, people would dual-wield the boltshot, then every single person ever would complain about it.

to all of the things about boltshot dual wielding, 343 will probably reduce the range and accuracy alot to make it not overpowered and to keep ppl from complaining.

You could never dual wield power weapons. In Halo 4 - plasma pistol, magnum, maybe needler. Having two boltshots would be ridiculous. 

 

Dual wielding takes away your melee and grenades, at least while you are holding the two weapons. Maybe in Halo 5, but I am sure people would just say "343 sucks they just went back to something old" or some criticism like that. 

ok so first of all r u listing the needler plasma pistol and magnum as power weapons or as ones that u might be able to use? also ppl wouldnt say that or they would have been complaining about 343 bringing back armour abilities from reach going like "343 sucks they just went back to something old". but they didnt because like dual wielding, armour abilities add to the excitment of halo gameplay.

Balance could become a huge issue though. Let's be honest, when you give someone two weapons instead of one, you fire more bullets which equals more damage. 

 

Could easily become overpowered. 

as i said in earlier posts, 343 would probably change accuracy and range and reload speed etc to make having two weapons not overpowered. for anyone else making the same compaints about balence, plz read the whole convo before posting another thing about that. only if u have something new to contradict or add to the conversation of balence issues, then plz quote this or one of my other responces on balence issues(even though this is probably the most thourough one) and state ur opinion or idea.

update on this topic. ive been hearing around that 343 might be bringing in dual wield for one of the new upcoming specializations. the weapons they were thinking about were the pistols and supressors. this is just a rumor but we can all dream cant we.

There are no new, upcoming specialisations. Dunno where you heard this, but whoever told you there were is lying. :/  Besides, 343i wouldn't add in a whole new mechanic in a single perk, especially one they've already given us a reason for not including in the first place. In Halo 4's more in-depth sandbox, dual-wielding would not only be incredibly hard to balance properly, but it'd also be unnecessary. We've got plenty of tools at our disposal.

Yes there arebecause the leveling system is waytooeasy. Almost everyone is sr 130. There is no point in playing ifthere r nomore levels to achieve. All there is arecustoms then. 343 wouldnt want ppl tostop playing so there will bemore specialization so thatthey keep playing. Its not a hardmechanic to add. hold x to pickup. Use both triggers to shoot. Its that easy. And honestly who cares aboutbalence.ifthe dual weildwasbalenced with theother weapons, then there would be nopoint to use it. Using 2 weapons instead of one is soucan kill ppl aster andfeel awsome doing it. Its not meant tobebalenced. also im talking about in multiayer not forgemode.so what doesthesandbox thinghavetodowith anything?

 

Also 343 is new atmakinghalo so theynowknowthatthey have alot to add. This is because ppl like me rsaying something about it. Thats why dual wielding didnt come out before when the game came out. They didnt think pplwould want it. They were wrong. Ps sorry about thenospaces inbetween words. My ipad is lagging when itypesoya

I love it when someone posts in a topic like this 'it wouldn't be hard to do'. As if they could know! If you think for a second you would surely realise this would involve re-doing the very core of the game. Come on people!

 

And it's not 'classic' halo multiplayer - it wasn't in CE, for one. DW pistols or Smgs will always be cool i admit but it utterly changed the whole weapon system.

ya sry i shouldnt have said that but u know what i mean. i jut think 343 is being a little laisy with everything; ex level system updates. i see ur point but dual weilding WAS classic because only halo had proper dual weilding. also dont say CoD has good dual wielding too because it just changes killing ppl in 0.1 seconds to killing ppl in 0.05 seconds(like ppl dont die fast enough in that game already). halo had dual wielding properly mastered and i like many fans want it back.

I can't stand dual-wielding, I played Halo 3 one time and dual-wielders wiped everyone out it was terrible. 

[Axilus Prime]

I don't think putting it in as a perk is a good idea. Too much unbalancing.

 

But I definitely want it in Halo 5.

 

Dual-wielding in Halo 4 would be pointless considering the weapons we have to choose from. But I loved it in 3. It made overshields balanced, unlike in Halo CE.

 

A friend came at me with an overshield and an energy sword so he could charge at me straight, but I just fired two plasma rifles at him and killed him in about 3 seconds. It even shocked me.

thats why ur team should have dual weilded, its meant to kill ppl faster. thats why ur team kept dieing and they didnt.

at this point i honestly doubt 343 is changing anything in halo 4. but in halo 5, like u i would love to see dual weilding! halo 5 is 343's second halo game(not counting halo 2 being recreated if they do do that) so they will be putting a bunch of stuff that ppl rtequested, some will be awsome and some wont, they wont know if it is good or bad untill its released and then its too late. 343 will be trying lots of new things, which will make the next game amazing. fingers crossed for dual wielding in halo 5
