It's quite possible they're on the new disc. Think about it - they're making a new disc, why not improve it a little within a 3 month period?

Allow me to reference the Transport Hornet. It's re-skinned, rate of fire slowed, missiles removed, and available as DLC. If they can do that, the ODST weapons can be added easily.

"But what about original Halo 3 players?" You've probably been in a Custom Game with someone lacking a map you're trying to load. Seen the message that pops up? That would show up when attempting to load a gametype/map with the new weapons when someone in your party isn't using ODST.

Now, keep something in mind - these weapons won't reach Match-making, more than likely. The Automag would be too powerful, fast, ranged, etc. and the SSMG would just silence and scope it - which is useful for campaign but not so much for Multiplayer. So Match-making wouldn't be divided more than it already will be with the new maps.

Also note that Bungie could only make these weapons available on the three new maps - not in game-types or older maps. It'd suck, but would be acceptable.

Lastly, note that this is not an outlandish and impossible theory. It would make game-play more interesting, it'd be easy, and wouldn't divide players as much as you think. If Bungie has a legit reason not to include them, alright, cool. I'm just saying it's possible, not that they should/will be in the game.

ODST campaign and the Halo 3 multiplayer will be on separate disks

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

The Silenced SMG, and Auto Mag werent designed to balance into Halo 3's Multiplayer (same would go for the Brute Plasma Rifle). They are purposely over-powered to give you an edge (because you arent a Spartan). Also, Spartans CAN dual wield, and as a rule Dual Wieldable weapons do NOT scope in.

I know. I didn't say they would be on the same disc, to my knowledge.

EDIT: Above poster has a very good point, but they could become non-DWable weapons. Let's just wait and see if someone at Bungie says anything (doubtful but possible)

Yes but as far as I can tell the OP was referring to a new weapon, like unto the transport hornet was a new vehicle, relitively speaking.
Back on the subject I think that it would fairly cool if they did this.

Yup, I was like "Know what? While I'm at it, I might as well show it to everybody!"
