In Halo 2, the weaksauce SMG in most gametypes is spawning weapon. This is both good and bad. Good because at the start of the game, before you get to all the power weapons, everyone has a SMG you are all equal. Bad, because once people get their hands on a power weapon... lets see who will win... a BR or an SMG? SMG's have no long range potential whatsoever. A BR will win most likely and, when you compare the SMG to all the other power weapons (i.e Brute Shots, Rockets, Plasma pistols+ SMG combo) an SMG by itself is no good. When you have a BR, things change. The game will be somewhat balanced but with a catch. 3 people BR the guy with a sword, brute shot, etc. the guy will get pwned as sure as a rooster crows in the morning. However, if he brings other friends, THATS a problem and also, getting BR'ed by 3 other people is also instant death for you. With BR's, its a numbers game. Maybe if your pro with it, then numbers won't be a problem for you.
