If we have the SMG like how it was in odst it might not be so bad as a starting weapon . So lets face it , The AR SUCKS , The BR Is Too Powerfull as a starting weapon the SMG seems to work , it fireing range is not to far, it can take out a BR user if you dont miss , and has 60 rounds per clip.So I can kill you without haveing to reload unlike the AR. The AR takes 32 shots to take down your shelds and then you reload. It takes too long to kill someone with an AR , The BR is too fast , The (THE SMG FROM ODST) is perfect as a starting weapon.


your thoughts? I just know Iam going to get flamed...

The SMG is a balanced weapon. Not too bad, not too good...It should be the starting weapon. No flames from me.

I'm just going to piggy-back on you.

You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

I would love that. If we get the Halo 2 SMG back.

Yes for SMG, cause it looks cool, sounds awesome and is probably the most balanced weapon in Halo 3. The AR just sounds like crap in Halo 3, if the sound was more beast like from Halo 1, then I said yes for it instead.

Not in that way!

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

selectable.

Just remove the silencer from the ODST SMG and keep the scope. Then we're fine :)

The smg from Halo 3 multiplayer should be a starting weapon. The one from ODST would be overpowered because of its increased range from the scope.

I think you should start with the SMG, and then your secondary weapon will be a pistol. If you find a weapon you can switch it with that.

BUT DON'T MAKE THE PISTOL UTTERLY USELESS, maybe 3 shots to the head and they're dead.

Agreed, because the pistol in ODST is very weak. I was very disappointed in it, cause you had to use the SMG to weaken the enemy enough, then head shot with the pistol.

Assault rifle. SMG is for close quarters, and the AR is much more balanced.

That was the point. The Magnum in Halo ODST was probably my favourite weapon in the game.

I know that was the point, but I found it retarded, each gun should be capable of killing the same enemy at least once with the full clip making contact. It'd take probably a clip and a half to kill a Brute in that game. I don't think there is one weapon in Halo 3 that can't kill a enemy even after making all shots hit and using up the clip. I'm pretty sure ever Halo 3 weapon will kill a guy if all shots on the first clip were to hit. That ODST pistol on the other hand, can't kill a Brute on the first whole clip.
