Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

So we have a surpressor for the SMG and M6 pistol, but one thing - is it actually going to work? As in, if you fire and are not in sight of an enemy, they won't be alerted? Or is it just a cool looking feature?

I think it's more for style. The enemies -that I've seen- react to it and turn strait in your direction. So I don't think so.

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

I assume it's not just for looks. This game will focus more on stealth then anything else. Now I guess it's not every stealthy if the enemies can hear one of their own yelling that they are getting shot at. I would like to see a spot on the Brute where you can just one shot kill them that is very hard to line up for.

From what I saw they just turned to the guy who fired it.
Look at it this way, you pop a Grunt in the head with the pistol. Everyone turns, but you would be long gone. You wouldn't stand there still for them to see you. Right?

Well it matters how much enemies are around them and how close. The SMG would probably sound like a paintball gun, not that loud but someone would probably check what happen. But if there's just one guy, like a Jackel Sniper above the other enemies on a roof and you kill him they probably won't notice.

Play hard, Go for the win, but over all BE RESPECTFUL>

I had the same idea running through my head and I think that the supressor it's more of a cool feature than useful to be honest, cuz think about it, yeah brutes and the rest of the enemies might not hear us fire first but as soon as they see one of their comrades on the ground and cold like a popsicle, they go right after you, just look at the gameplay videos, stealth might not work for this type of game if you're spotted right after your first shot. Plus if both weapons are silenced won't they lose some power?

The silencer i think is for the thought of being alone in Mew mumbassa (Spelling) so you don't give away your position

Yeah, I think it will help, depending on the conditions. A suppressor reduces noise and muzzle flash. It doesn't eliminate it.

So say a group of covenant are talking, and you pick of a straggler with a single shot, they might not notice at all.

Say you are hidden, and you manage to one shot an enemy, and they notice, they would be cautious and look for you.

Say it's dead silent, and you shoot and kill (or even miss) an enemy. They will know where you are.
