Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

They could add silencers to the pistol and SMG (and remove dual wielding), making it so you do not pop up on radar when firing, and the directional-fire indicator's on whoeever you're shooting's HUD isn't activated (the little red arrows that point to who is shooting you)

the directional effect seen on your hud isnt from the sound, but from your own psyche making visualization of which side of you body get perforated by highly energetic metal chunks.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

Only add suppressed weapons if they aren't going to be made loud in the process. The only thing that should be heard is the bolt moving back and forth, and vauge bullet impact sounds.

Otherwise, what's the point?

This is assuming that the Guns in Halo Reach are actually loud.
In ODST bungie had to make the AR louder because the Silenced SMG was actually louder the H3 AR.

Umm, suppressed weapons are far from silent. Suppressors are supposed to disguise the normal sound of a gun, not silence it.

That's my point. During a ViDoc, Bungie revealed that they had to "Hollywood-up" the SSMG and the Automag.


NO


Silent weapons must be as such. No bells, no whistles, as that goes against the point. Take the shot, don't alert anyone to your position, and then repeat.

only if you are firing standard ammunition. If you get subsonic ammo the only thing you are going to hear is the weapon cycling and impacts.

that's one of the points I was trying to get to. the other one was a sarcastic remark about how the weapons in halo 3 sound like toys.
