I think there should be a gun with a silencer in Halo 2. It may be weak, or you can only get it at certain parts (or maybe once in the whole game).

What do you think?

It is rumored that the pistol will have a silencer in it...one of the 'censored' sections of a weekly update was deciphered one week ( obviously we can't be 100%) and it came out to saying something about the pistol having a silencer now...but actually considering the amazing AI of the covenent it might be necessary for more stealthy kills

The pistol is more than likely not silenced there's more proof of a Magnum then this CENSORED gun of which you speak. Also silencers would only be effective vs grunts and maybe sometimes jackals so it's practicallity is questionable.

Did you ever play Halo CE on Legendary and try to be stealthy around Jackals? I find it WAY more easy to Stealth Meelee an Elite than any Jackal in the game. Jackals are more unpredictable. I'd use a silenced pistol to take those little bastards out any day.

Good point, a silenced weapon would be incredibly useful even in the first game. There are a couple parts on Assault on the Control room I simply just sneak by, and getting a pistol to take out grunts farther away that aren't sleeping would be awesome.

It doesn't have to be the pistol specifically, for all I care there could be a silenced version of the smg as long as its balanced.

There's rumours of the SMG having silencers atleast on some parts of the game.

As long as they aren't in multiplayer i could care less. But so help me if Bungie puts silencers in multiplayer they will lose my business for all time. I know i'm only one person but thats still a good 50 dollars every 2 years. :-p

What's wrong with silerncers in multiplayer, if the silenced weapon is weaker or something like that, then I don't see a problem. If they did they would hopefully give you an option to turn it off. Hopefully the next weapon selection/gametype editing thing will be a big checklist with all the different weapons.

If youve ever heard (of fired) a silenced firearm they truly do make a short "PFT!" noise and trust me, thats good.

And to be frank, Id rather have a beam-sword than a silenced firearm.

Ok if you can turn them off thats cool too. I don't have a problem with the guns being silenced just so everyone knows. Its how people will opt to use these guns that i feel may be the real problem. With every new addition in the stealth category to this game the gameplay diminishes greatly in my eyes. I felt the Halo was the first great FPS on any console because it was the closest to recreating the frantic pace of some of the great PC twitch shooters. And its not that hard to tell that I am a diehard twitch-shooter fan. I just don't want to see Halo 2 to turn into a Ghost Recon/Rainbow Six sneak-around-fest. Silenced weapons are fine as long as the pace doesn't suffer any, and as long as you are not forced to use them.

They probably added the tracers to balance it out. Think how cheap a silenced SR with no muzzle flash that did the same damage would be. Especially in large open areas with multiple sniper areas, it would take away the need to take your time with your shots.
