They took a box, labeled it, "Fun things about halo" and chucked everything fun into it, along with the smg into it, taped it up, and buried it in the deepest darkest corner of the studio.

They cut a lot of weapons because of the Tech on Reach was early prototype weaponery. So apparently the SMG wasnt considered good enough to develop further on Reach.

I cap fools.

I don't think the SMG was introduced into the UNSC armory until Halo 2's era. They just hadn't developed it until then. Or maybe not.

The SMG was around during 2525 or before the Covenant war

The gun just would not have worked well in game. The damage is too little without duel weilding. Making it more powerful would make it unbalanced because of the big clip. Plus with the bloom in Reach, accuracy would be close to zero.

They could've used the silenced SMG I guess

SMG wasn't in the time era of reach... Duel wielding is something the master chief kinda introduced we can assume

cuz it sucks

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

This.
And I guess that the Army doesn't use the M7?
Either way, it was an awful mistake.

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

Canon/Story Reason: I'm guessing the SMG was not used by the UNSC Army. The SMG was around before first contact with the Covenant, so anyone who says it wasn't in service intil the events of Halo 2 are wrong.

Real reason: Dual wielding was taken out of the game and Bungie wanted every weapon to have a purpose. The SMG basicly overlapped the Assault Rifle so it was taken out. I remember a Bungie member saying that "It was basicly a -blam!-ier version of the Assault Rifle".

Hopefuly we'll see it again (along with dual wielding) in Halo 4.

i think a silincer

thx 4 the answers and i hope is in halo 4 and i dnt think it waz be cause of dual weilding they had it in odst and it worked out pretty good halo 2 didnt have an ar and it was awsome so i think if they had to cut 1 it shud have been the ar the problem was they filled with so much stuff (some were really uneeded)

Hey!

Most likely because they scrapped dual wielding.

If the SMG wasn't combo-ed with another gun, it was weak compared to other guns.

Agreed.
Also, maybe it wasn't in because there wasn't enough resources? I could've sworn in the latest ViDoc they said they almost scrapped the shotgun in Reach. I would take that over another automatic weapon any day.

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

The teaser trailer isn't meant to be taken at face value. What he was holding didn't look like the M7. On grounds that it may be in Halo 4, its plausible. Chief is still wearing his Mk VI MJOLNIR so support for dual wielding will most likely be in the game. And not to forget, the aft section of the Dawn most likely has SMGs and other UNSC weapons in her weapon lockers and armories.

It's the M6 pistol he has, and he attaches a grenade to it, that's how he was able to blow himself out of Forward Unto Dawn

I'm pretty sure humans hadn't invented machine guns by the year 2552.

One word, speculation. He didn't have it with him, he grabbed it out of the air when he was trying to escape, it doesn't resemble the M6 variants in any way.

Halo Reach Forge Artist. I make Castle Crashers art and other stuff that i like.

yeah good question. I also wonder why they took out that red plasma rifle that the brutes used. It should have been in halo 3. They need to bring ALL the guns in halo 4 and the new ones too.
