If its in the game use it, Play to win. Stop crying about how duel wield takes no skill because people are still going to do it. stop crying about all the combos your not going to use simply because you think its "noobish". And if you lose do you think your opponent is going to care that you didn't duel wield or didn't use the Plasma Pistol? Nope, their going to call you a noob. So either start using them or keep crying.

Lol, because of your thinking... Halo 2 has lost a large percentage of players. I'd rather have balance, then have annoying people pull out the newb combo and think they're good.
People you don't bitch about dual wieling/newb combo/camping/etc are the ones who constantly use it and would be horrible w/o it.

Everything takes some sort of skill on halo, EVEN the noob combo. I don't see why people keep saying stuff has no skill when it obviously does. If you don't believe something takes skill to use just try fighting me SOMEONE is going to win, and whoever does win has more s-k-i-l-l.

Yep, people like you are the main reason why the Halo 2 community has gone down hill lately.
If the rumors of Halo 3 are true, dual wielding and the plasma pistol homing will be gone.

Can someone please explain to me why duAl wielding is bad? All the guns take a good deal of skill to kill an experienced opponent, such as using the maps and employing a good strategy. It is awareness of your surroundings and skill with a gun that kill your enemy. I used to whine about rockets and sword and newb combo, but then I got good enough to anticipate it all and dodge it to where it is now actually a good thing if they pick up the newb combo.
PS - Way to beat the newb combo: don't run out into the middle.

Just like saying the way to beat sword is back pedaling.
Oh wait, except when the sword is right next to you...
You don't need to be in the middle for it to be effective. The only real way to beat the newb combo is to anticipate the shot and hide behind something. One person with a newb combo can easily decimate the team at an important time during a CTF or Assault game.
Dual wielding takes no skill to use, and people who proclaim that it does are just in denial.

Yes it does. Everything takes some sort of skill.

Wow, you can hold down both triggers and barely aim.
Trying to get politically correct about this?

Ah, I'm guessing holding down one trigger and bearly aiming take "skill"?

Again, please explain what is wrong with dual wield? I can't wrap my head around how anyone could think it is lame.
And no, the way to beat the sword is to stay away from the guy with it, just like the way to beat the guy with the sniper rifle is to move sideways erratically. Each weapon and weapon combo has its way to beat it. Oh wait, the shotgun is right next to you...oh wait...the guy walked up behind you and assassinated you. Just because you have trouble beating something does not mean it is overpowered or a glitch. Plenty of people see ways around it, just because you can't does not mean Bungie is an evil corporation full of newb combo users and dual wielders (although I have NO idea what is wrong with dual wielding). I rarely dual wield because it is generally more ineffective than a SMG and a well-placed grenade.

Since I don't play Halo, I really can't offer my opinion. But please, let's try not to insult each other's preferences.

Can we at least insult people who are dishonest traders?
I hate people who bitch about stupid things...
I had some guy who had the least kills, most deaths, a betrayal, and 2 suicides... and kept complaining that we weren't killing the people who were killing him. So towards the end, I stopped sniping people while he was getting shot, let them die and then snipe the guy who killed em (king of the hill game so kills didn't matter). It was funny to hear him scream and yell.
