because in the real world there are thousands of different variations of weapons and each have specific uses. if you equipped everyone with and smg you would get murdered
right...although halo is kinda different than real Military Shooters it still strives to be realistic. In a squad of marines you will probably have a medic, sum guy with a semi stational,tear-thing-to-shreads machine gun (a.k.a. the SAW Machine Gun). You will probably have sum sort of medium/long range specialization, and then a few standard weapon jockeys. The synergy of variety makes combat units more effective. Thats why bungie is probably trying to bring back old weapons while keeping current ones.
