The Assault Rifle was replaced by a better automatic machine gun; you're crying about it? >.>
The SMG is, in my opinion, 10 times better than the AR. The AR has a small clip, no long range potential, and many other faults. The SMG, on the other hand, has a huge clip, semi-long range capabilities, will have a scope and a silencer .
Look at the facts, people. The SMG is an amazing gun. They both can use a low amount of shots to weaken people enough to beat them down. That's good. Yet, the SMG has many more valuable assets.
You're complaining that an ok weapon is being replaced by a similar one which is 10 times better.
Get over it. You can do everything you can with an AR, but better - so why are you mad?
The SMG in Halo 3 has a shorter effective range then the AR. It's effective at close to close-mid range, but that's about as far as you'll be able to use it to much effect. AR is close to mid range. And the SMG has a tremendous kick up. This, combined with it's faster RoF, means that it is better meant for close combat. They both have their uses.
In ODST, the spread (and presumably kick up) will be reduced due to the silencer, and it'll have a scope. In this case, yea, there's probably little reason to use the AR, but that's not the case in Halo 3.
