Seems like a pointless thread i know but does anyone agree that the SMG was very scarce in H3 and will be very nice to be able to use it a lot more?
I always found myself grabbing the SMG whenever I could in H3 because in my opinion it was by far the funnest weapon for some reason.

Ignore H2 in the poll
Also I meant in the campaign not online

In Halo 2, you spawned with it... How is that scarce? Everywhere you go you see an SMG-Plasma Rifle combo, or SMG-Plasma Pistol.

So why would it be more common in ODST? You still have ammo.

in the first level in halo 3 i was only using the AR and pistol (starter weapons Halo:CE)
in the second level of halo 3 i started out with a BR and 2 SMGs(starter weapons in Halo 2)
i feel the use of the AR a lot but since ODST is coming out, its great that we get to use the SMG as a stater weapon again like in halo 2.

I meant in the later stages of the game there were barely any to use/get ammo from.

Scarce in H2? What? It was the default starting weapon.

Yes but now it is less noisy.

I think the weapon was not only too scarce but also ammo was not readily available enough. What's the good in dual wielding when after one clip you are almost out of ammo?

  • 06.07.2009 12:16 PM PDT

For the first year and a half of Halo 2 you spawned with the SMG in every game in multiplayer.
