In Halo 3 the AR was primarily a medium ranged weapon with the SMG a close range weapon. Each gun was best utilized within it's intended range.
Now with the new SMG sporting a laser sight and sound supressor-making it more accurate, how will the two guns comapre in terms of damage, accuracy, range, ect?
AR is more powerful but M7S reflex sight (gives 2x zoom) and suppressor make it more accurate. Like Bungie said, the new SMG is good against unshielded targets.
Also, when marines are close-by, AR ammo is considerably easier to accuire most likely.
(In Halo 3, I prefer AR on Legendary against Brutes, and i will most likely keep this in ODST too, don't ask why)
Notice that Spiker is quite powerful and accurate (if you compensate to drop) and has increased melee DMG so Spiker maybe even better choice as weapon than AR or SMG. And a lot ammo is guaranteed...
Brute Plasma Rifle on the other hand is good against the Brutes when they have shields but its got very weak flesh damage.
