well it doesnt matter that there were not smg s on halo ce i mean it doesnt mean they werent there but bungie didnt think of them as necessery.i mean on halo 2 u dont have spikers but suddenly on ODST which takes place hours after it u do?and assault rifles?what no marine carried one and then on odst u find tons of them.i think that we should have 2 smgs the halo 3 and the odst version.or be able to make the halo 3 version to odst
and anyway reach takes place on 2552 the same year as halo 2 unless the smg was invented between these too then it can surely be there
