Does it actually work as a silenced gun should?

For example, say if you approached a group of Grunts and a Brute up in front of them could you sneak behind them and silently take out the grunts if the Brute can't see them?

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Doubt it, I think they would almost instantly see where it came from.

I don't think so.

You sneak behind them, and shoot a grunt.
Grunt screams.
Brute turns around and charges you.
You try to run away.
Brute slaps you.
You get t-bagged by grunts.

The end.

Probably not because bungie never did a good job at the 'stealth'. Except at the mission truth and reconciliation.

It's suppressed, not silenced. It's still quite easy to hear, so I think they'll still know where the shots came from. Maybe they won't, though. I don't know, I haven't played it.

I really hope that we are able to stealthily kill like in Truth & Reconciliation. If the Covenant didn't notice dead bodies and the sound of an un-suppressed .50 Sniper Rifle in that level, we should be able to take out enemies without others noticing with suppressed weapons in ODST. The A.I. was capable of it way back in Halo: CE, so why not improved ODST A.I.?
