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.
I used the wrong word. I can't remember the exact wording of the thing I read.. so I'll just say low velocity, then. Also, I believe the pistol is 12.7mm. But that's the current Halo pistol.. not whatever the new one will be. -10mm and .45 pistols are extremely common, both are bigger than 9.5mm.
Silenced sniper rifles would be pushing it. The bullet needs to be subsonic to actually validate the silencer.. in which case the bullet is very weak. It certainly wouldn't be the APFSDS the current sniper rifle uses.
Eh.. to the people saying Halo is not a stealth game. I agree with you.. but only in part. Halo does have a certain style of play where stealth has little value.. but.. adding in the option of stealth for a situation where you can do it.. IF YOU WANT TO.. adds to replay value a lot. I don't really like the idea of situations where you always have to be stealthy because there's just too many enemies to fight.. but, say, if you want to save your ammo for later, it's the better option. Basically.. the option to do things never hurt anybody. Like the people saying "I don't want bots in Halo 2 MP.. so you shouldn't be able to have them either!" Few as they are.. I really don't understand that. If you don't want to put on a silencer.. don't.
