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

I think its pretty dumb that if you shoot everybody hears it and starts shooting at you. Whats the point of having a silencer on it if it doesnt work?

Silencer is a misnomer, they dont work like that IRL. Theyre called suppressors and only help to reduce the huge 'im over here' factor when shooting.

Im game though i think is more of a case of the game engine has no differentiation for weapons that dont alert the AI vs ones that do, so its a bit of a shame.

Probably just to give you a sense of being stealthy. It makes your gun look cool too.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

It's worked for me.

Once.

basically like Fatal Factor said - if you jump onto youtube and search 'silenced machine gun' you'll find that you can't really quiet down an SMG that much.

but, thanks to the silencer, you get better range/accuracy, so you can actually zoom in with it and fire. and also (most importantly), it absolutely SHREDS the buggers. i dunno about you, but the drones have been such a pain for me in Halo 2 & 3, so the silenced SMG easily became a favorite of mine since the drones are no match for it.

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

If you fire caseless ammunition with a suppressor, the gas has no where to go but the suppressor, It would barely make a whisper.

Bungie was lazy when it came to coding them, that simple.

silencers make noise IRL it just makes less noise so i make sence thatthey would hear it, also unless the silenced smg kills the enemy real quick why wouldn't he call out to his friends for help while being shot

rule of thumb: double tap

the silencer does nothing, however in my opinion, it is one of the best weapons in all of halo beacause of its rate of fire and the increased accuracy when compared to other automatics

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

The suppressor is used as a techy addition to the game to give a feel that ODSTs have special arms they can choose to use. It makes it feel like we're more than just Marines. And Really, who DOESN'T love the sound of that buffed SMG?

i dont care the silencer makes it sound cool
