Hmm, so many people complain about dual wielding. I say keep it in. Seriously, relax people, dual wielding is not the end-all be-all n00bfest you make it out to be. I've laughed at people who scramble up to me spraying dual SMGs at the entire side of the map I'm on, only to have me take them down wit the BR at close range. Its all about when and how you use what weapons in what situations. The SMG may be a nerfed AR, but the two are completely exclusive. I say Halo 3 should bridge the gap and bring back the AR, maybe even [b] un-suckify [/b] the damn Plasma Pistol (I swear, I could use that damn thing like it was my.... well, you know). For the people who say dual wielding dumbed down the game, you're completely wrong. Two SMGs can never be as effective as a good single SMG wielder, provided he has some knowledge of the dynamics of grenade throwing. Just throw a grenade at your feet, backpedal, and spray, its not that hard. And there are tactics involved in picking what two weapons to wield. My plasma rifle+magnum combo is an amazing one, yet first chance I get I replace it with a BR, on almost any map I play on. I'm tired of all the "Omg dual-wielding is so unbalanced! I want my 3 shot killing scoped pistol back!" Right. Because thats completely balanced. Geez people, theres a spot for two handers and one handers. .... Sans the -blam!- innuendo in that last part.
