What do you think?

MLG players also thought it could shoot long range before Halo 2 came out, so what I'm basically saying is that until you use it and learn what it's like, you can't really judge it.

First it's over-powered then it's under-powered.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Nah, Brutes are just a pain in the ass to kill.

It seems to play the same role as the AR does in campaign. But that's just my opinion.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

If you payed attention to what we know so far:
-It is now capable of headshots.
-More accurate
-scope
-Quiet
-Shooting off Brutes armor (shoulders, body, then head) makes them easier to kill rather than just constantly shooting their body.

The Halo 3 SMG can already shoot a decent distance. On Sandtrap, it can shoot roughly from the middle of Sniper building to the top of the base with the Albatross. We can only assuem this range would be further used in ODST with the increased accuracy.

From what I've seem it looks more powerful than the Halo 3 version.

I'm going to have to agree. Just as good, if not better than Halo 3.

And Yes, Cereal IS life.

I don't want to join your group.

I'll be interested to try it out before I form an opinion, but it seems to do all right against a standard brute. I bet I still end up dropping it for a plasma pistol and just noob combo-ing brutes, though.

They've taken out dual-wielding from the game. The SMG just simply cannot be underpowered.

Just think of it as the same SMG we have now just with a scope and a silencer. It's more "all round" than the Assault Rifle, and Halo 2's "SMG replacing AR thing" makes coming back to New Mombosa with an SMG all the more awesome!

  • 06.06.2009 1:35 PM PDT

It has a silencer and a scope. I can run around and pretend to be a ninja so I'm okay.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

It's pretty effective in close range, more so than the assault rifle. Supposedly the one in ODST is more effective in longer ranges than the one in Halo 3 too. Not saying it's a sniper rifle but It sounds like a pretty good substitute for the assault rifle. Sounds like it makes a good combo with that new pistol.
