Why?! It's so sexy and matches the art direction of the game. It would have been perfect! It's so sexy it makes all the Covenant weapons all wet and horny. I can say nothing more lest I cause you to orgasm.

	That would be cool. :-)

	1 ReplyBecause in halo 4 there are only two types of gun, overpowered guns or useless guns, an SMG would throw the game off balance

	I would have to agree the SMG concept for looks sick and awesome. I wish 343 didn't take this out it would have been just perfect and plus this my most favorite weapon of all time in Halo. Why!?

	Yeah the SMG would be awesome

	It was going to be in the game, the rest of the weapons on this page of 'The Art of Halo 4' are almost identical to their in-game counterparts. My only guess is (Modders found animations for) duel wielding going to originally be implemented but removed wether because of time constraints or the fact there aren't enough weapons to do this with. Either way, in guessing that's what it would look like in game, or close to it. My MegaBloks SMG looks similar. That OP pic looks very nice though, kinda like a Hybrid of ODST and 3.

	1 ReplyThat looks like a nerf weapon.

	1 ReplyBecause Halo 4 had enough short range weapons in it's sandbox.

	1 ReplyThat doesn't look like something from Halo. Looks like something from like Deus Ex

	That SMG is sexy as hell.

	1 ReplyEdited by ToastyWaffles: 9/24/2013 5:29:49 PMA scoped SMG would've made much more sense than Halo 4's Supressor.

	I was more concerned about why Halo didnt play like Halo.

	8 RepliesWhy wasn't this SMG in Halo 4? A) Halo 4 sucks B) 343i sucks C) 343i can never be Bungie D) Microsoft doesn't care, got your money anyway

	8 Replies343 is trying to copy bungie. because when you think about it,Halo:Reach was bungie's final game. And they didn't even add the SMG there. If 343 had copy the DMR,then they aren't bringing the SMG. because 343 tried to copy Halo:Reach,so they brought back the DMR and not the SMG. Like bringing forge world,Sprinting,and AA's

	For the same reason there are no: -Human air vehicles -Brutes vehicles -Covenant Vehicles (no new ones) -Promethean vehicles - And added what we did NOT want to see again: -Loadouts - New Weapons sound - Ugly enemies.

	To be fair, bringing back the SMG would have been better than introducing a -blam!-ing LMG.

	3 Replies343 stated that H4 was unfinished and that there was a lot they wanted to do but didn't have time because Microsoft wanted it out by a certain release date and scrapped a lot of ideas ( or hopefully saved it for H5)

	5 RepliesThe real question is why didn't they add hornets..
 - 
   
	Because H4 sucked so bad... They should've not released so soon.

	Edited by rocketFox: 9/24/2013 1:20:40 PMYuck! That looks horrible. Another example of over-design from 343. Or is that just some fan-art?
