Definitely a good point. Dual wielding was a dual-edged sword in the positive for offensive capabilities, but I felt it was less powerful of an influence in terms of its downsides. I think taking it out not only made ODST and Reach feel more visceral relative to the MC's major ass-kicking abilities, but also streamlined what it means to shoot in the game. With a focus on accuracy and timing in the later two games, it just made sense. Oof. I wasn't even aware of its existence. Is there a way to switch forums? X_X
