i totally understand. just since stealth is already implemented, it would make you choose the pistol if you needed to be silent. like when youre hiding

the pistol is for close range, so you could actually hear the muffled shots, but far away you couldn't but a pistol isn't good for far away, so you should be able to change the gamesettings to if you want to have sniper rifles silenced or not, I personally choose not, cause I'm a halo die hard fan, not a metal gear solid fan(although that game is sweet and i can't wait for the third one to come out) but halo 2 is going to be so friggen tight thats no. 1 on my list.

Eh.. permanently silenced.. maybe. Depends on the kind of pistol they'll be implimenting. I'd rather have it as an option. I do remember reading somewhere a while back that they were thinking about putting silencers as an option for the low calibre weapons.. ie the pistol and the smg. I'm really interested in what kind of "tools" they'll be giving you in Halo 2. Nightvision would be cool.. seems stupid to shoot out the lights then use a light to find your way around. Not very stealthy.
As for completely silent.. eh.. half the noise silenced guns make is the mechanics inside of them. Ever fired a gun with no round in it? It's REALLY loud. The only way to make a gun truely silent would firstly be to have a really good silencer.. and secondly make it single shot. The British made what is still even now probably the best silenced weapon, in WW2.. a single shot silenced pistol.

SB-117

well when your talking out sleeping grunts and sneaking around it could be useful for getting headshots on a patrolling elite

I think it would be really tight. It could still implement the original game's stealth because one shot won't kill an elite because of the shield, but it would still have lots of uses. With the better AI, I'm sure that if you kill one of two patrolling jackals with a head shot, he will notice.

Also it would be tight if a silenced weapon doesn't flash up the room everytime you shoot. So it would be like really hard to see someone in the dark. Also, silencers can weaken the weapon.

ok, but still, the pistol silenced would be stupid, you should silence 1 head shot kill weapons

If they do add silencers, they should just decrease the power and the range slightly, but it would be pretty silent, and it would have decreased recoil.

i dont mind it for the game.. but a multiplayer silencer would be stupid... it would be like the rockets are on XBOX live... that's all the things people would go for.. IN ADDITION.. you should have to find the silncer in the game from a marine weapons locker etc....not have it on ur pistol from the beginning

For those of you that say Halo has nothing to do with Stealth I'd challenge you to cross the first bridge in Assault on the Control Room without firing your weapon, nor being fired upon.

It's quite a challenge. I've played Halo both running and gunning and with as much stealth as possible. Stealth takes longer but if you watch your motion tracker and pay attention you're much more effective, expending fewer rounds. I can't wait to see if that corner look function makes it to single player, even better if it hits multiplayer.

The pistol isn't low calibre, it is 9.5mm calibre- bigger than allmost any repeating pistol now currently in use.

Anyway, I think silenced pistols, smg's, and sniper rifles would be great.
