Why don't you ask, which is better?

Rocket Launcher or Plasma Pistol?

Pretty pointless question if you ask me, more like a way to get noticed....

EDIT: Oh and by the way Bungie already announced that both those weapons were in the game, genius.


Where and when did they say anything about the SMG being in the game?

Q: Will all the weapons return from Halo 2?

A: I don't see why not.

or something along those lines

Where can I find it? I'd like to see what they 'actually' said.

Uh, the Main Page would be a good place to look.

Ah, facts pulled from the ass - the very best kind.

Assault rifle > SMG, no questions asked - obviously.

Sounds better, looks better, more accuracy, more range, more power. And actually gives you a decent fighting chance off the spawn, and you don't feel like ditching it ASAP.

Seeing as the SMG kind of replaced the assault rifle (like the BR replaced the pistol) it would seem safe to assume the AR would replace the SMG again. But they're hinting that the new assault rifle doesn't work the same way. So maybe it would actually replace the BR? Who knows. Just so long as there are no -blam!- weapons. Seriously, playing rock paper scissors with power weapons is old now. Give us a half-decent starting weapon and give all the weapons their own strengths, like in Halo.

Um, no Bungie DID announce that, and you'd know that if you looked it up instead of trying to sound funny....

Great more flaming, it could possibly be a sport if more people keep doing it.

Q

What's new in Halo 3?

A

Beyond the continuing story and new graphics features, we have not yet revealed any details about the content of Halo 3.

http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo3/content.aspx?link=Halo3Anno unceFAQ

ps: What you are referring to Maniac may have been an opinion where somebody was asked something and they replied "Why not". It is nothing more than that. It means nothing. It is actually a question asking why not? It is not an answer saying "yes". If anything it is vague. No official announcements about new content and/or script have been made and are unlikely to be made until AFTER the launch of Halo 3.
If someone walks up to me on the street and asks me if I have a spare dollar and I answer "why not" it doesn't mean they will get a dollar.

If I'm honest, the answer is probably no :)

I would like to find it though.

I was with you up until you said this.

The analogy doesn't work because you're not trying to sell the person in the street a service... or are you? ;)

On topic ('kind of')...

If you go here and view the screenshots you can clearly see the Master Chief holding a weapon that looks all the world like an AR.

Possibly the best hint we have yet {{:-) .

Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

The only good thing about the SMG is the dual weilding factor like the Plasmarifle and SMG combo.

they are basically the same gun. poor accuracy and range and not much damage. the only real differences are that the AR sounds like a real gun, not a little pea shooter and the SMG is more useful cause of dual wielding

damage wise its like:
1. One SMG(weak
2.AR(middle)
3.dualed SMG (stronger, but not strong)

For all the people saying they will get rid of the BR for the AR-You are stupid. The BR replaced the Halo 1 pistol,Not the AR. Just because Bungie is putting the AR back in doesn't mean they are taking out the BR,that would make no sense.

thank you for saying that. i hate it when people compare the BR and the AR. they are completely different. having both would be freaking sweet.

AR > SMG. Halo is about killing aliens, not scaring away little pink poodles from down the street.

Duel Weilded SMGS are a bit more powerful. Assault Rifle itself is stronger. NEeds a better echo though, the sound was cool. But it would sound kinda muffled/echoed like the Battle Rifle.

I'd choose an assault Rifle over an SMG, but I would choose a Battle Rifle over an Assault Rifle.
