there will be justice in murder

Well hearing about and seeing some of the weapons of odst, it's definitely interesting. I just have a few question about the choices of the weapons. Like why silence weapons?? I mean if their orbital drop shock troopers wouldn't they need heavier gear (weapons) to compete and dominate the battle field. I mean if they come crashing in the midlle of battle behind enemy lines and all they got is a few puny silence guns aginst a heavly entrenched and mechanized enemy force...... your toast. any good solider knows your only as good as your equipment, that said why not give them better rifles, and or crew serve weapons. Like a m249 or a mini gun, something you can lay some real heavy fire down.

what do you guys think about this and what type of weapons would you give the O D S T???

Two makes there more than speakers.

Night gameplay requires a bit stealth and silenced weapons so other covenant don't hear it.

but their is also day time game play as seen in the game play trailer. and if you come screaming into orbit at over a thousand miles an hour, I think people are going to be able to pin point your location sooner or later

That's why in day gameplay they give you a Spartan laser. (Dutch.)

The SMGs are silenced so that they do not give away the ODSTs position. Rambo may look awesome but notice how SWAT prefers to strike without the enemy knowing they're there. Which would survive longer in reality?

They may be silenced but they also include many other additions, such as smart-linked scopes, flashlights, and laser sights. The ODSTs function well with stealth and strike tactics rather than straight up assault. But as you can see from Dutch, they can still provide a very fierce open fight.

You're not a Spartan. You can't get shot repeatedly and expect to live. You have to be more tactful.
