Bungie apologizes for putting the default weapon as the SMG. They said it suddenly takes away meleeing from the game, because one player could pick up another dual wieldable weapon, then the other player is out matched. So they updated everything, reset all the levels, but they didn't make the default weapon a BR, im confused.

I don't know about you, but I've taken down rockets with a single SMG, no melee.

Isn't that hard when the other guy can't aim...I mean no offense but how does a SMG guy take down a rocketman at any given range, with no melee?

Yeah, I guess they were too busy trying to get that damn SMG off you so they could have a go with it. Did they call you a SMG whore?


Seriously, I've taken down rockets with a SMG as well. That means zilch. What you fail to mention is how often that happens compared with the other way round. I've killed a sniper with a magnum a couple of times. So what? Are people going to start betraying me for the magnum now?


Oh, and Bungie didn't make the BR default because it's no better than the SMG as far as fulfilling their starting weapon criteria goes.

If you kill anyone that has rockets or sniper with a single SMG or pistol they had better be assasinated.

The rocket guy:

Got a killimanjaro in that game.
I killed him at medium range using a single SMG.

For me, I like to use the SMG as a battle rifle. In halo 2, it SEEMS to be more or just as powerfull as the battle rifle. I like to apply battle rifle tactics as much as possible (throwing grenades so I can finish the enemies off with SMGs) and melee. I'm usually best when I'm dual weilding. At medium range I just pick them off by shooting them while pulsing the triggers.

The SMG isn't hard to use. Normally people with BR's get killed faster (in general) because they run out in the open, going for one headshot, and then don't know what else to do and are stranded in the middle of the map, whide out where everyone can see them. The power of the SMG is only good in surprise and geurilla tactics, and even with those, you must be dependant on the rest of your equiptment/skills (like nades)

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer."

I love the SMG. Unlike most people, to the way it sounds, I can get kills with them. No offense to anyone.
