After a couple hours of playing, I've noticed a trend in Modern Warfare 3 (that I've seen throughout the Call of Duty series as well). While watching the deathcam, I've seen a large majority of players using SMGs.
Why is this? Do SMGs hold some inherent advantage over the other weapon types, and if so, what is it?

Not sure with MW3, as I don't have it, but with CoD4, MW2 etc the reason that an SMG was great, was usually because it is "lighter" than an Assault Rifle and therefore you can sprint longer with it.
So for the more agile players it is preferable to a heavier weapon.
The UMP45 in MW2 was an excellent weapon, especially in Hardcore mode.
