Every so many games, there is always that guy who cries about not being able to find a good weapon, and being stuck with a single wield smg.

I personally like the smg, and can kill with it single wield pretty good, especially when i mix in grenades and melees.

What is your opinion on the smg?

If you, like me, heavily rely on the melee attack (and, unlike me, have the luck to meet only one person in close quarters at a time), then the SMG is an excellent gun. Dual-wielding it with a Plasma Rifle or -Pistol works very well.

If you don't dual wield the SMG, then yes it sucks, but SMG can take out a guy with a BR if it's dual wielded with a plasma rifle. (If you can use it properly)

The SMG is actualy a good gun when its not laggy, in combo with other guns, melee and grenades, its a pretty good weapon but it still cuts it short. Good thing we get the AR in Halo 3.

mmm, this is a tasty burger

I'd say the SMG is about my favorite weapon. It's like the Assault Rifle Jr. If your like me, you'll shoot and run up to the person than melee them in the face. This works very well.

The SMG Blows! The only way it is good is if it is Dual-wielded which is the only reason they put it in the game, just to be Dual-wielded....

The SMG has its uses. However, there are very few of them.

SMG is a great weapon if you know how to use it. people just rely on the BR too much

This post left the mark of the greatest man to walk the earth in this thread. Feel good about yourself.

I think the SMG is a great weapon. It is just now people are too dependant on Battle Rifles that they forgot how to use an SMG properly. Pumpin it does wonders for accuracy.

The SMG rocks when you find another weapon and get rid of it.

Please, no SMG love fest. It takes nearly a full clip to kill someone with shields. Theres a reason why the SMG dies on Halo 3

With a well-placed grenade, it takes very little ammo to kill someone.

The SMG is only really good for close-quarter combat (and I mean CLOSE), and even then other weapons beat it.

Still, it's a good gun to pull a quick couple of melees on someone else. I have no problem starting with it or without it.

I'm not sure. But it is good for something. I remember playing MLG on Lockout(I suck at MLG) and I had and SMG. There was this one person coming towards me. I would melee, fire, melee, fire, when I meleed again, realized the guy got killed by my SMG. So, the SMG is good. I just don't like the part where when you fire it, it goes up and up!! That is annoying!

  • 05.20.2007 3:23 PM PDT

Before you say you owned me, maybe you should stop throwing 300 billion grenades and using the sword.

yeah when the smg goes up its called "recoil". even master chief has strength limits.

the smg is best used as a back up wepon like if you and another guy are duking it out with BRs and you run out of ammo switch of and you still have a cance

doesnt make sense how the SMG moves up when masterchief shoots, but somehow he has the strength to hold the sniper rifle at a perfect steady

SMG is really good and well everygun in the game is good besides plasma pistol but with the smg if you throw 1 good grenade (if u DONT suck) and shoot em with like 4 bullets it will kill them instantly no matter what range this is very usefull for warlock and most of he time if someone cant kill a guy with br it is not the hardest thing in the world to get any gun besides smg ()() i never really noticed the recoil on the smg if u hold right analog stick down a little bit while your shooting therll b no recoil

That's like saying sex has lost it's steam.

Are you guys kidding me? I don't want to turn this into a BR vs. SMG war but the SMG is not a good weapon. It's a sucky version of the AR that is only good in rare instances, if any.

Kinda harsh but I agree, a weapon isn't bad because you can't use it well
