if they can have both the dmr and br why not have both the ar and the smg??
Just because it hasn’t been announced yet, doesn’t mean it’s not gonna happen bro.
No, they would serve the same purpose. In the case of DMR/BR one will probably return as a mid tier power weapon or BR is close-mid and DMR is mid-long.

true they serve the same purpose but one benefit of the smg that the ar lacks is the ability to dual wield

But dual wielding is confirmed to not be in Halo 4

aww man i didnt know it was confirmed i thought it was just speculation i dont remember the confirmation, where was it confirmed?
If the “SMG” isn’t a bound pair of weapons, then I don’t thinking having it in a good idea.

How…?
They didn’t serve the same purpose in Halo 3…
I miss me some nice SMG action…
is duel wielding confirmed to be not in the game???
1 SMG calls for 2 and 343 already said no duel wielding. I really don’t think the SMG will work without it.
Though I still have hope. the SMG was my favorite weapon.
> is duel wielding confirmed to be not in the game???
Yep.
“I wish I could comment more on how that affects Halo’s stable, accessible playing field, but important details are hard to come by at this stage. I can tell you health packs are out, that there’s still no dual-wielding, and that over 200 developers are working on the game, building a new campaign and sophisticated multiplayer maps that aren’t broken out of single-player scenes.”

aww well this thread is pointless then
man i was really hoping for the return of duel wielding maybe in halo 5 though
> if they can have both the dmr and br why not have both the ar and the smg??
The ar is returning it was mentioned on the latest podcast. I would like the smg to return as well as the silencer smg

Dual-wielding unbalances the sandbox on purpose so that it becomes a viable mechanic on the weapons it is for.
well maybe the odst smg could return
> well maybe the odst smg could return
oh hell no!

lol just a thought
<3 SMG, but I really don’t want it to be reliant on another.
> well maybe the odst smg could return
It could work, but it would have to be considerably more “powerful” than ODST’s and the silencer really wouldn’t function very well.
Overall, the premise of an automatic weapon with a scope is a good idea if there is a tradeoff that makes the AR viable, but the Silenced SMG is not a good platform for such
