Sarge Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't really understand what you said beside dual wielding. So if that's what you're going for I agree we should be able to dual wield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteSniper Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Dual wielding sword and weapon? Bad idea for multiplayer but nice for campaign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Dual wielding sword and weapon?

Caboose The Ace Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 it was oringonly in halo 3 but was cut becase its alreay a 1 hit kill no point at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tool Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 i think duel wielding energy swords withe other two handed weapons is't a bad idea. the energy sword is under powered anyways, it not like the energy sword from halo 2 with far range. and its not like you will have a dmr with energy sword. the duel wieldable weapons in halo 5 (if they are duel wieldable) will be weak not to mention that there going to add bloom to them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReach2134 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 The energy sword would be a bad idea to duel wield as it is already a K.O weapon. Would be cool but pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just because it is a OHK does not make it pointless. Why do we have a Flagnum if that's the case? I think enabling only pistols with a sword would be a good and balanced way to go about it. Though, not powered-up pistols like the Flagnum has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdemon Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Duel wielded swords would look badass i admit, but the balancing would ruin it. One hit from a sword kills 99.9% of things, the only advantages I could see would be its unblockable (so over powered since you couldnt bulltrue, halo 4 has enough sword kills after death as it is) and that you have double the battery life. Maybe in campaign for some point and for specific gamemodes... But the sword is pretty much stuck the way it is now. As Caboose and TheReach2134 pointed out; its one hit Kill, therefore duel wield is virtually pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM295 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I agree, dual wielding energy swords would just make anyone who got a pair completely overpowered in CQB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, why did the flag gain a weapon if that's the case? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdemon Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The Flag gained a gun because it was one specific game mode in a new game with weapons that would destroy a flag carrier. They also removed the ability to juggle making it nessesary for the bearer to have at least some form of defence. The Flag carriers pistol is buffed to balance out gameplay and so people would want to carry the flag instead of camping to get kills on the one team player. How is that relevant to duel wielding swords? Which I still think would be awesome, but never implimented because of impracticality and general uselessness-ness... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) The Flag gained a gun because it was one specific game mode in a new game with weapons that would destroy a flag carrier.

How is that relevant to duel wielding swords? Which I still think would be awesome, but never implimented because of impracticality and general uselessness-ness... It is relevant because, other than being able to switch weapons and having a longer lunge range, the sword is basically another version of the flag. They could allow you to dual a non-buffed magnum or PP with it to help defend yourself from a distance. The dual could nerf the pistol slightly if it makes anyone feel better, I just think simple mechanics like this can easily be balanced out. I just think it's a shame to keep out a feature that can be done IRL when it is easy to balance. Not so impractical and useless when you need to cross that hallway with someone waiting for you to pop out.

haloman 2 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 i would like that idea. it sounds really cool. i also think it would look beast if you could dual wield energy swords. but i totally agree more with ryu hayabusa. i strangely had a dream about me being a spartan in halo on reach when it was glassed. any ways in it i had an energy sword and was holding a magnum in my other hand for more defense against covenant. so i really like the idea of being able to dual wield the pistol and energy sword together, but only those two weapons for a dual wielding energy sword type beside holding another energy sword. i love ryu hayabusa idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 i still say if it is in the game it should be only in the campaign or in a cut scene. like the others have said it would make you a god in multi-player. The only way i can see it in multi-player is if they made a game type where it was the sword weilder verses seven( i said seven because it would be an eight player game) players like flood mode but the other enemys have short range weapons. and there is no one else on the sword weilders side. the object would e to see which spartan could last longest, and the spartan who's time was the longest wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
