For those of us that play Halo 3 Online (which I would assume to be most of us), we know the SMG has it's uses, and it does pretty good. However, it's a CLOSE RANGE gun. Yes you can shoot people mid range with some success but it really shines in close quarters. My question is, why did they put a silencer on it? A silencer reduces the range and power of a weapon. On an already short range gun, why would they reduce the range further making it silenced? Also, since you are an ODST without all the super strength and armor of Master Chief, you would think you wouldn't want to get too close to those Covenant Brutes and such, but with a short range gun made shorter with a silencer, you have to, right? This begs one other question, do you think the silencer with be detachable/optional?
EDIT:
A lot of people have been saying "it has a scope, that's why." Yes it does but that doesn't explain the RANGE problem...the bullets aren't accurate at distance so putting a scope on it doesn't magically make the bullets go farther...you just see distance more but you still can't hit anything...just think if you put the BR scope on an SMG in Halo 3 right now, would that not be useless!? So a scope doesn't improve range of bullets, just viewing range...it's still a close range gun by nature...
