Most games have the “machine pistol” archetype, the idea of a little bullet hose but Halo’s SMG stood out for a lot of reasons. Not only did it have a nice little compact and charismatic frame but also was THE poster child for Halo’s sandbox dual wielding mechanic-a system that the SMG would long outlive. There’s been many iterations, models and interpretations of the SMG throughout halo’s life cycle and I felt it would be fun to go through them.

  • This is a pretty minor detail, but the SMG has a collapsible stock, not a folding stock. A folding stock folds either underneath or to the side whereas a collapsible stock is adjustable in length. The best comparison functionally is probably those old lightsaber toys.

    Ever since ODST, I've always thought that the SMG should always have been Supressed. that way it creates and fills a new role in the sandbox. A stealth weapon.

    Late Night Gaming? More like Late Night Uploading LOL

    Me: Oh boy it’s getting late, I need to get to sleep. Late Night Gaming: May interest you a Halo weapon evolution video? Me: Sounds good to me.

    The ODST SMG is a jack of all trades, except against buggers. That thing tears them up and is a life saver on harder difficulties. Still, I'd be lying if I were to say that aesthetics weren't the main reason I hold on to it.
  • @JoCat
    one niche I feel the odst smg excels at is against drones as its one of few options for reliable hitscan(ish) weapons that can take care of such agile enemies the carbine isn't always available, the AR lacks the same precision and firerate to reliably hit, and the pistols damage is so low you have to go for headshots, which is really hard on drones so naturally, the smg is a great counter and has saved me many a bugger-filled firefight round
  • @MatchBoy117
    The sound dampener in Halo 5 silences and hides your position on the radar but it ALSO increases your effective range. It's basically the long barrel and silencer in one, which is why it's a higher level req compared to the silencer and long barrel. Really good for stealth in late game when you need range in warzone.
  • @ElijahEngland
    Triple wielding was one of my favorite parts of halo 2
  • @cerebralcloud92
    Evolution of the Covenant Carbine next? I feel as though it’s really under-appreciated.

    That moment you're too early for HD

    "Man, I gotta get to bed." LNG: Uploads "Oh, so that's how it is."
  • @jafizzle95
    We all know that tune that LNG starts playing when the video is coming to an end. Life hack: Any time you're at a social gathering that you are ready to leave, just start playing that song out loud and no one will question you leaving or try to pressure you into staying a little bit longer.
  • @kiwisark8055
    The detail of the stock sliding forward when you pick up the dual wield in H2A MP Is an amazing detail
  • @dermonch7959
    I honestly like the H5 Smg, it is so rich with details and packs some punch. Would be unbeatable if dual wielded.
  • @numptyco
    you know your early when the video is only in 360p
  • @Wernissage
    Late Night Gaming? More like Late Night Reshade. Love me some overly dramatic shots🔥
  • @KevinKoolx
    SMG has had an interesting journey in Halo. Trying to be unique enough to fit a roll and avoiding redundancy.
  • @brycevo
    God, your Spartan has some real nearsightedness
  • In Halo 4, I feel like the Suppressor was Supposed to be a reboot of the smg
