Halo 2 Battle Tactics and Weapons
In an open battlefield dual wield for maximum fire power as throwing Fragmentation Grenades will be a waste of time. If you are in an enclosed environment it is more effective to hold only one weapon which will allow you to use your free arm to detonate Fragmentation Grenades to deadly effect. The following are weapons that you will be able to dual wield:
Human Dual Weilding weapons
Magnum (Pistol) -
Sidearm which is deadly at close range particularly on head shots
SMG (Sub Machine Gun) -
Inaccurate but deadly, best used in small controlled bursts.
Battle Rifle -
Versatile weapon that can be used as a semi-automatic for close range or as a sniper rifle for long range.
Covenant Dual Weilding weapons
Plasma pistol -
Energy weapon that has two modes (manual rapid-shot and a powerful overcharged bolt of plasma) cannot be reloaded so must be discarded once spent.
Covenant Plasma Rifle -
Engergy weapon that causes its enemies to 'freeze' rendering them unable to return fire accurately, this weapon has to be discarded after use as it cannot be reloaded.
Needler -
Fires a rapid stream of small deadly needles that track their target and explode on contact. Unlike most Covenant weapons the Needler can be reloaded.
Note: By dual wielding it will take longer to reload and you will not be able to Melee attack.
