I hope you're not advocating going back to dual wielding. It completely fucked up the sandbox.
I hope its all single wielding but with the balance of CE where every gun is somewhat useful on its own. The catch here is to not make something like the AR or another automatic weapon too powerful. It should rip people up close but not too much. Last thing we need is a piss easy weapon to use become super powerful.
Let's put it this way. If we're dealt with another AR fiasco, it's just one step in pushing me out the Halo door. Between an AR start or dual wield weapon start, I much rather have the dual wield because in the previous Halo game Bungie was able to have the combos be very deadly, like they're suppose to be, in close quarters, and were able to take out multiple enemies within seconds. That's what it was designed to do, and worked nicely - I thought.
The problem Bungie did to dual wielding was destroying the Needler. If they had a SMG, Plasma Rifle, a Magnum of sort, and another style of weapon, I wouldn't mind it at all. That said, I wouldn't make it the sole starting weapon. I am in Steely's side where they need to introduce a new weapon, probably in the vein of a Pistol that is 4-5 shots to kill, but have its distance be limited. I think the Halo Reach Pistol is completely fine in this instance, but would raise its clip a few more.
EDIT: Tashi, you are a scholar.
