I love the weapons for ODST. I wish you could have the Suppressed SMG in Halo 3. Which one is your favorite?

Death to rank junkies.

The automag doesn't do crap against shields, so I prefer the suppressed smg.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

That's a tough question because the Automag is great for long-range against Grunts, Jackals, and Brutes without shields. But, the SMG is great against the enemies that have shields. But, I guess overall the SMG would always come out on top because, even though the Automag is more efficient in some cases, the SMG can get it done in any situation.

Do you like Yax? I do.

I love the Automag. It's great for Grunts and Jackals and works on Brutes when pared with the Plasma Pistol.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

I always dump the SMG first chance I get no matter what other weapon I get instead. Preferably a beam rifle, plasma pistol, or carbine. Doesn't really matter. I'll even take a brute plasma rifle or a needler if I have to.

The SMG - although a cool gun - is basically useless on legendary. Even at close range where at least 90% of your shots hit, it still takes more than a full clip to strip a Brute Leader (the most common type of Brute) of his shields.

However, I will sometimes swap the AutoMag for a carbine, especially if I have a sniper or beam rifle. Sniper/beam for taking out opponents on long range, obviously, and carbine for close to medium range because the AutoMag is a joke against shields. Still love it, though.

The automag is sweet because if you miss the headshot on a Grunt the first time, you can just keep shooting rapid fire until you hit your mark.

While I love the Silenced SMG, I always drop it on Heroic and Legendary since it useless.

Except for against Drones. Then it owns.
