M7 SMG: Difference between revisions

Line 52:

*When dual-wielding SMGs, the weapons are held farther from the body.

*The player's reserve ammunition capacity is reduced.

~~==Tactics==~~

~~===Campaign===~~

*The M7 SMG is always a devastating weapon when dual-wielded against [[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]], and is brutal against Grunts and Jackals and Flood forms. It is, however, less effective against Drones, as their erratic flight patterns make them hard to target.

*Dual-wielding a M7 SMG with a plasma-based weaponry works extremely well against against shielded targets.

*Short, controlled bursts with a single SMG is required to maintain ammo and effective range when engaging Covenant forces.

~~===Multiplayer===~~

*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the M7 is not a sound weapon to start with, but if no other option is available, minimize being killed by staying in a safe zone until a better weapon becomes available.

*If stuck with an M7, stay in close quarters, and do not venture out where an opponent can take the player down with longer-ranged weapons.

*Dual-wielding the M7 SMG with a plasma-based weapon such as the plasma rifle works very effectively against against shielded targets. Dual-wielding a M7 and a pistol can be tactically useful, as it can create a deadly combo that can take out targets quick and efficiently. However, it requires a great deal of skill and hand-eye coordination. The combination of a full-auto and a semi-auto weapon can be confusing and hard to handle when aiming at an opponent.

*The M7 is a good choice as a suppression weapon, because of the sheer volume of fire being produced if dual-wielded, especially when engaging a nearby [[BR55HB battle rifle]] or [[sniper rifle]].

*In ''Halo 2'', when the player wields a single M7, the SMG's stock is extended. When the M7 is dual-wielded, the stock is collapsed. In ''Halo 3'', the stock remains locked halfway in both the first-person and third-person animations, regardless of whether the weapon is being dual-wielded.

*The M7 SMG is depicted as ejecting shell casings in "Monsters" cutscene from ''Halo Wars'' and in the ''Halo Legends'' short ''The Babysitter''. The cutscene shows ejected casings in [http://youtu.be/1vhIIeSo-_U?t=49s only one instance], while in other shots the weapon's operation is correctly depicted; however, the short features a [http://youtu.be/2kPvBqSlIEc?t=14m13s lingering shot] on [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]]'s spent brass. This is an artistic error as the M7 does not have an ejection port to remove spent casings, compounded by the weapon's very name describing it as caseless. When this discrepancy was brought up on the ''halo.bungie.org'' forums, [[Frank O'Connor]] replied that there is a cased variant of the weapon.<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=949702 '''halo.bungie.org''', ''Re: After my 4th viewing of The Babysitter...'']</ref> Despite this, the small frame of the weapon and its magazine makes it unlikely that such a version exists.
