Subject: Silenced SMG=new BR?

no no no. Nothing will ever replace the BR.

BR is the only weapon CONFIRMED to NOT be in the game. The sentinel beam prolly won't be either since there are no sentinels on Earth. All other weapons are likely to appear.

Okay, first off, none of the new weapons equals the AR. Why? Because the AR is still in the game. If you don't believe me go rewatch those campaign gameplay videos and pay real close attention when he gets near the end of the bridge in the flashback. You will see, once he gets near another ODST (I believe) "Hold RB to swap for (Picture of AR)". It's there, in video. The AR returns, the BR doesn't. Get over it.

The Automag does not equal the BR. It is not an equivalent to it in no shape or form. It is a new weapon, with entirely different usage than the BR. It actually kills a Brute with less bullets (key word bullets, not bursts) than a BR does. So, you see, it's actually a little better than your precious BR.

And to that one guy that said it's not a Beam Rifle. Funny, but now it angers me. It's such an underutilized and unappreciated weapon.


yeah, the AR will return, but i wonder if they'll amp up the damage to fill that medium range gap.... other wise the SMG and AR will be slightly redundant.

The AR is the same as it was in Halo 3 so slower than the SMG but the SMG still lacks accuracy even with the scope so you'll have the choise of Rate of Fire or slightly better accuracy (so if you like Rate of Fire like me the SMG's the choise). As the Auto Mag fills the role of the BR but not compleatly as it takes more shots fo a kill.

The best to have would be what the Rookie gets from the start but switching the SMG for a AR would probably have very few differences in combat.

But still hoping for a more powerful AR.

well i was just wondering that in halo 3 the SMG was very inaccurate with a large reticule. But now in ODST the silenced version has a reticule about the same size as the BR and has the same distance. It can also zoom in like the BR. The only difference is that it is automatic while the BR is semi, three round burst. SO actually the silenced SMG might be stronger than the BR. Does andybody have a different opinion about this?


The BR takes like 3 or 4 headshos to a Brute to kill it. This gun takes a hell of a lot more. (half to a full clip actually)
but it takes about the same amount of time.....

So, no, it's not stronger or more accurate.
