Seriously, don't take me seriously.

Underground Pleasure - aren't you a bit curious?

...so don't use the SMG by itself. Duel-wield it, or place a good grenade.

Well not reallly true, but I see your point. Maybe lockout was a bad example because you can throw a nade or get the pistol to shoot the barrels and the sniper comes flying across the map to you before the other team can get it. Not everyone does/knows about that though so I can see where you're coming from.

Nothing worse than an SMG spawn slayer match when the other team has every power wep including noobers :(

I hate having to spawn with the -blam- smg. that weapon is easily the worst weapon in the game. I would rather go into a fight with the pistol. If it was a little more accuate then it might be worth having but for now it isn't worth s***!

The SMG isn't a terrible weapon, it's just the BR is stronger and more accurate. You're making it sound like you don't realize that they can be dual-wielded. Read this

It is a bad weapon. Dual wielding has a long reload time and a Br still kills it.

Ok, lets play 4 vs 4. Ill get every power weapon on the map including powerups and all you can use is what you spawn with or find. Lets see what happens. In practice, the whole " a good player finds a way" speech sounds nice but when youre playing against good kids (which there are VERY few that frequent these forums) youre going to get your ass kicked. Thats simply the bottom line. Here are a few very simple senarios that im sure youve seen:


Sanctuary. You spawn on your flag only to turn toward your sniper and see him standing there using the combo against you.

Beaver Creek. Other team controls rockets and sniper and is camping the portal with shotgun or BR. What is your SMG going to do?

Warlock. You spawn bottom and the other team spawns top, they can get to at least 2 BRs faster than you.....what now?

Desolation. You spawn in your base and host has BR/OS somewhere top mid....any takers?

The SMG is a pathetic weapon that ill only use if I absolutely have to. Anyone that says that SMG's are superior apparently hasnt played against a good team yet. Ask most every player who has been above legit 37 (even in TS) what the best weapon to spawn with is and they will most always tell you the BR.

The BR gives you the capability of placing moderately damaging shots at mid range and is a VERY effective melee weapon as well. It is not overpowered and anyone who has at least a smidgeon of skill can kill a sniper, rockets, shotgun or other BR with it. Ive done it thousands of times. All of you that say the SMG is the best starting weapon are probobally the same ones who constantly quit once my team gets ahold of a couple of BR's.
BRs allow for TRUE map control, which is an integral part of Halo 2 team play. Try locking down Beaver Creek or Lockout without a BR and see what happens.

the SMG is kickass, even by itself.....especially on maps like ivory tower and lockout

BR guy BxR's you right in the grill while the sniper domeshots everyone that travels from Blue to Bottom mid. Dual weilders take window and long ramp to help keep you from crossing bottom mid. The only way your plan is going to work against good kids is if they forgot they were in matchmaking and are taking a bathroom break.

A good sniper can snipe through BR shots. Apparently you people havent been playing with good enough players.

The SMG is a great weapon. It compliments everything you pair it with, and is great (if you know how to use it, and not just some -blam!-, cheating button combo) by itself in close/mid range quarters.

Of course, it gets beat by someone who is good with the BR at midrange, but that's also because the BR is a pick-up weapon. That's the same as saying the it's crap the SMG can't beat a rocket launcher or a the sword, and it isn't fair.

Get better.

its a great starting weapon if you know how to use it right.

  • 08.17.2007 3:00 PM PDT

If you're fighting fair, your tactics suck!

If you can use it right.
