Of silenced weapons in Halo?

The only use I can think of for a silenced weapon in a game is in a campaign mode when youre trying to kill enemys undetected.

So whats the point Bungie? Your still taking damage and isnt a little red arrow still going to show you where your getting shot from?

I'm guessing that it will be used most in campaign and if it is used in multi-player then it would have the same effect as the silencer in COD... cant see where your shooting from on radar and decrease range. Of course, it isn't COD, so that could be way off. Besides, I think the SMG with a silencer looks pretty dang cool. :)

no. I get the feeling, however, that the AI has been modified to not notice you if you miss them with a shot from these suppressed weapons from a certain range, rather then immediately run up and shoot you.

You seem to not get it theres no MM so theres going to be no red arrow your not going to be shooting your friends.

I could see some stealth heavy sections but its probably like what llamalizard said.

There's a difference between Supression, and Silence.

Exactly. You don't have shields in ODST, so if you run out guns blazing, you're going to die. You can do that, but it's a bad decision.
