this question has been on my mind ever since i heard rumors of a second halo...i think it would be awesome to have some type of silenced pistol or rifle to help sneak up those sleepin grunts or distracted brutes and eletes....it'd also be a cool feature for xbox live gameplay....please give me your opinion.

Sniper is pretty well silenced at a distance as is and the BR would be pointless.

Now having the MA5B be silenced would be nice. After allt he Spartans in The Fall of Reach had silenced MA5Bs.

No disrespect to anyone who likes those kind of games. But i have never had fun sneaking around. Its meant to be a fast paced game, which fortunatly is what i like to play. For some reason the twitch shooter is starting to die out but i've never had fun playing any FPS that wasn't one. And yes Halo 2 is a twitch shooter Bungie said it themselves I would look for the article but im too lazy.

but its a sniper rifle its meant for stealth so silenced would be a nice improvement(we also need to get rid of those crappy tracers) and on the BR if you're tryin to snipe from a distance out of sight

i only want silenced weapons because its in those tense moments when a hunter is looking for you and he knows ur close so you dont want to give away your concealment so you pull out a silenced sniper and take him out w/ one shot

Well i hope that if they add those "improvements" into the game that i will know about it well ahead of time so i can cancel my pre-order.

Although Halo is a run and gun sometimes you couldn't always do that you would have to use a little strategy and stealth

whats the use of a silenced SMG its not meant for stealth but run and gun

dont get me wrong...i dont want halo 2 to turn out to be a splinter cell...i wanna be a runnin, gunnin, s.o.b. master cheif just like everyone else...but itd be a cool option for commin up behind a friend so if you miss with the first shot he wont know ur behind him....he'll be lookin around while ur takin better aim

Yeah, silenced weapons would be very neat. For those situations that don't require brute force and bullets, you could sneak up on enemies, much like AOTCR, when you whacked the sleeping grunts, and elites patrolling rooms...just imagine the little grunts waking up to see their friends with brains all over their rebreathers...

I don't think we need a silenced sniper rifle - that would be unnecessary because it is meant to be a long range weapon. Also, it wouldn't make sense, when firing a projectile at the muzzle velocity in a sniper rifle? BOOM. I would like the bullet contour trail to be removed when using the sniper rifle.

Well if you don't thats your fault, if you miss a shot and that gives the other person a chance oh well. You still shouldn't have a problem killing them if you miss the first shot because they didn't know where you were to begin with so you still have the drop on them. I don't know why you want to make the combat easier and slower paced.
