We're building a better world...all of them, better worlds.

It's role is filled by the M6C/SOCOM. It would be a redundant weapon. Not to mention, the SMG's range and accuracy looks friggin' ridiculous. With those two weapons, why would you even want a BR?
Ok...lets have our minds try to conceive a reversal of situations...
Lets take the SMG out....and put the BR, with a silencer in.
you argue that the SMG should be in the game, and it's stupid how it isn't, as bungie decided to leave it out.
you come here, make a thread just like this one, and argue that it should be in, whilst others support bungie and say that it should be out...
13 pages later, i show up, and call the SMG a redundant weapon...
as the BR is more powerful, is more versatile, and is stealthy, with a silencer, as the SMG is shorter range, less accurate and percise, and w/o a silencer.
BR, AR combo > SMG Pistol Combo
BR AR combo gives you the pest of both worlds. Full auto + semi auto guns, in which the AR packs more fire power than the SMG, and is more accurate to boot, and the BR is more accurate, and has longer range than the pistol, and packs more fire power than that little pistol..
what would you be saying then??
Well if what you are saying is true, I might be inclined to be fine with it.
But really we don't know anything yet. We don't know the M6C's effective range or power. We don't know the silenced SMG's effective range or power. We don't know anything about the environments we'll be in or the adjustments they made to our enemies. Really, we don't know jack for certain.
I do know one thing: a mid range precision weapon is something Bungie has ALWAYS had in their games. The BR was simply the weapon that filled that role in the last two games. Really, this comes down to faith. I have faith that Bungie can provide us with a weapon that functions in the role of the mid-range standard. Since they are relating the M6C/SOCOM to the M6D (from Halo: CE), I'm fairly confident this weapon will fill the role of the BR. Therefore, having a BR in addition to the M6C would be redundant in terms of the weapon sandbox.
In regards to the SMG, though, I'm fairly certain from the performance I've seen, the silenced SMG is meant to fill the role of the assault rifle. While we've seen pictures of ODSTs with ARs, we don't specifically know we'll be able to use that weapon either.
In any case, we don't know enough to be able to make statements like:
BR, AR combo > SMG Pistol Combo
Unless, of course, you're saying you simply like the BR + AR combo. Then I'd say you're well within your rights to make such a statement but that you're being far too preemptive in your judgment, since you have almost zero knowledge about the latter and no experience with it to boot.
And for the record, yes, I like the AR + BR combo. It doesn't mean I won't also like the silenced SMG + M6C/SOCOM combo.
