How does dual wielding work on Halo 2 Vista?
Virtually, the same way it does on the Xbox. To dual wield, you simply approach a second weapon that is lying on the ground. You’ll see the standard “press E to swap weapons” message appear in your HUD. However, if it’s a one handed weapon, you will also see “Press and hold ” to “dual wield”. If you do that, you will pick up the gun in your left hand. Left click first the left weapon, right click fires the weapon in your right hand. You can’t melee attack or throw grenades while dual wielding. You can stop dual wielding at any time by pressing melee attack (discards extra weapon and punches simultaneously) or by tapping ‘T’ to toss your secondary weapon. Of course, the keyboard layout is fully customizable and you can change any of the settings to your heart’s content, or just use the controller.
