In my opinion, not really, the game is more about finding an opportunity to get a silent kill and trying to get away before people notice. Only times I used 'loud' weapons is during Illussive Targets when I had a chance and just went for it. Would suck to get a kill like that and get killed because you've blown your cover tho.
I always will prefer silent kills, personally. Quiet and clean then vanish outta that bytch without a trace. I like my successes to look clean. Not playing sloppily.
