Subject: What do people think about the silenced guns?

GRAVITY CAT NOT AMUSED
Process initiated : Attempting to give a damn

Process stopping : Unable to give a damn, stopping

Process failed : Damn not given

Even if the weapons are silent and don't raise an alarm, that doesn't mean that the enemy shooting back won't alert others.

Make me a sammich!

I can dig the SMG being silenced, but not the M6C/SOCOM (Pistol) considering it fires a .50 AE round (Desert Eagle) and a gun of that caliber isnt able to be silenced because when you fire guns of that caliber they cause a Sonic Boom. I think just a Silenced SMG would be cool alongside a Beastly sounding pistol

sorry for the rant

Automag FTW

it will be awsome with the silenced guns there silent but deadly!

i think *finally some realisum* if you can use them in multiplayer game's then it would a very valuable asset to the halo universe.

Silencer is the way to go. If I could I would put a silencer on everything. My shoes, my bed, my keys, my Xbox. Everything. Everything's better with a silencer.

I like them personally. I'd llike them more if you could make them silenced or unsilenced. And when they're silenced, they react different.

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinæum.

Great idea since this game will be more tactical. Once again bungie takes a good idea they didn't use in Halo 2 and saves it for another game down the road.

Retreating is not cowardly, it's just fighting in a different direction

I think the Automag should be silenced, and about it's "armor piercing rounds" is the pistol going to be alot stronger then the automag in halo 2 or just slightly stronger?

I saw a video where the player was standing on a roof and he zommed in with the Pistol on 3 Grunts and a Brute. He killed the 3 Grunts with the "silenced" Pistol, but the Brute knew exactly where he was. The Brute should have just been alarmed, not know exactly where the ODST is.

So in my opinion, they look really cool but make no difference other than zooming in.

I think the silenced weapons will not change that much of the game, but the scope on the guns will be a big improvement.

ill be pumped for any new gun, type of gun, or gun attachments...give me new!!!!

  • 08.10.2009 6:09 PM PDT

They may be quieter, but I don't see any difference in enemy AI. If you shoot an enemy before they see you, even with a silenced weapon they all still react in your direction. So, you may think you're stealthy, but the AI knows where you are.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

They are badass looking, but I don't think there will be any different reaction by enemies. Firing a silenced round will have the same effect as an assault rifle burst.

  • 08.10.2009 6:20 PM PDT

The guns are not silenced. They are merely sound suppressed. The difference being that even though they are much quieter, they still make sound and can still draw attention. Plus, the way to use a suppressed weapon is like how you use a sniper rifle. Fire once from cover and GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE and move to another location and fire again. This way the enemy has no idea about the size of the opposition, but also their location. Military survival situation 101 guys.

you're kidding right? just because he said silenced doesn't mean he meant completely silenced. It just common terminology, don't be a smart ass and bring in basic military survival. They don't even cover silenced weapons or Sniping in BMT

  • 08.10.2009 7:42 PM PDT

A survival situation is not covered in basic training. Basic is about the BASICS of being a soldier. Snipers are the only members of the military that snipe and go through a different training regimen. And no, silenced is not common terminology. If you want a completely silent gun, look at the British STEN. When that thing goes off the only thing that you can hear is the bullet impacting the target.
