Whats the point? I fired a shot from my SMG into the air by accident, and it alerted all the covies in my AO... I was approximately 100 yards from them when I did it and I don't believe there was anyone near me...

remember, it is not totally silent. Similar thing will happen on cod if u use a supressed weapon.

Which difficulty were you playing on? Higher difficulties makes Covie's hearing better.

If you use a silencer in real life, it will alert enemies. It's not as silent as everybody thing it is.

this, but realizing that players could use silenced weapons to kill and still sneak by enemies, Bungie made them less silenced and more of suppressed weapons. In reality, if you used a silenced gun, nobody too close would hear

A silencer does not completly suppress the sound of a firearm it just makes it harder for the enemy to hear. There is a pistol that the British SAS used to use that was really really quiet.

Like what was mentioned before, silenced and suppressed are two different things. Ive had some experience with suppressors and outside of a .22 or some other sun- sonic round, its all but impossible to reach the movie "silent" we all think about. Even a suppressed 5.56 sounds like a normal .22 LR.

Just like the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...except Bungie.

Its a suppressor not a silencer. All it does is muffle the sound of the shot, it does not completely silence it.

I don't think the real life volume of a silencer/suppressor matters, what's being questioned is the whole point of a silencer in a video game, if it offers no different gameplay.

Whether or not, theoretically, perfect silence can be achieved by 2552 doesn't matter, as there's no point in even having it in a game if there's no difference between Covies hearing a silenced pistol and a normal pistol.
