The ODST are not a specific stealth unit. Should the situation call for stealth then silencers are issued. It is not a preference. Being 'shock troopers' the ODST are meant to instill fear into to the enemy, that is when the enemy was still human. Black armor and dropping out of the sky in a hellish blaze, on most occassions does lead to the most stealthy of entries. Point being the reason you have a silenced weapon in the game is your not a spartan, no shields, no super strength, your gonna have to be sneaky. To end up this long rant, being 'shock troopers' you will have access to the BR55 aka the battle rifle, though you won't start out with it.
