What up with starting up with SMG's in matchmaking? It practically get you no where. The only thing that work is the second hand weapon. The SMG really sucks. The Magnum is better then the SMG. Including the plasma pistol. Not the Plasma Rifle cuz it's the same thing with the SMG

ALMOST!

No.

There's a difference between the weapon sucking and those who use it sucking.

Finish The Fight

I don't like the fact that I get spawned with a crap weapon like that, and am forced to go find something to dual wield it with, I wanna throw grenades and melee, not just empty as many rounds into a guy as afst as I can hoping I started firing first, that is why Halo 3 will be awesome because starting with the assault rifle let's the people who don't really care for dual wielding don't have to and the guys who like it can.

Its good vs. Non-tank vehicles. Two SMGs can rip a banshee up if it gets close enough.

yes and no for medium maps spawning with it yes but its the starting weapon no matter how much we complain about it so just learn the length of the mini lunge that you get with a melee and you should have decents success

Grenade + SMG > SMG; You don't have to dual wield. To answer the topic. No. The sub machine gun doesn't suck in fact its one of my favorite weapons.

The SMG can most certainly be a lethal weapon in the Halo 2 arsenal. However, a player must know and practice its usage to refine their lethality. In other words, The SMG is an AMAZING weapon.

The SM-blam!- is by far the most detestable weapon in all of halo 1 and 2. It just sprays all over the -blam!- place, looks like a toy, and has an ugly model. If bungie wanted people to spray all over the fkn place why didn't they just keep the AR in. At least the AR looks and sounds like a real gun.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

yeah, well, you use your smg which you say doesnt suck, i'll use a rocket launcher which i say doesnt suck, and we will see which weapon really doesnt suck.

anyway, on my list of weapons, i consider the smgs power to be that of a lower-middle range. with only magnums, needlers and the sentinal beam being less worthwile.

That's a stupid comparison. What is the point of comparing weapons with two completely different functions. If you are going to compare the SMG to other weapons, you should start with the assault rifle and calibur weapons, not grenades. But hey, if you want to use it as a means to try to validate an argument why not.

The problem with a rocket lol is if they're right next to you and if you have arocket you blow the both of you into kingdom come. So I'd rather have a dual SMG at close range than a rocket. Otherwise it basically sucks monkeys

he said the smg doesnt suck if you know how to use it. the purpose of my comparison was to point out that quite often it does not matter how well you know how to use a weapon, some weapons are just plain more deadly than others. these least deadly weapons have a name, they are called sucky weapons. a player packing a smg has the same basic tactic: engage your opponant from close range. just because the smg can be a significant threat from close range does not mean it is a good weapon, as every weapon can be a significant threat from close range.
