I think the BR should be default, simply because of the SMG's tendancy to slide up as you fire.

This is very easy to overcome by not holding constant pressure on the trigger. You can pulse-fire and reduce a lot of the recoil without much drop in rate of fire. I'd go so far as to say that it puts out greater damage simply because more shots are hitting the target.

As for the spawn weapon, I would have to say BR. I may be slightly biased since I am disappointed when it takes more than four BR shots to down a foe, but I really think the main problem with the SMG is its limited range. The BR at least lets you have a chance against someone who is staying at long range, while the SMG would get you quickly killed.

definitely BR, because the smg is probably the worst weapons to have, at least to start off with because you can't really kill anyone with it, and your always looking for a better weapon. I think that a BR start would be better because everyone then has a decent weapon, so when you spawn, you stand a chance against the enemies you spawn next to, instead of automatically being screwed because the enemy has a BR, or Carbine, or some other good weapon and your stuck with the stupid SMG

I say SMG start. I consider a BR as a power weapon, seeing how it only takes 5 shots to kill someone. I don't really care for the starting weapon as long as it's a duel weapon.

I would like the BR to be the default starting weapon, it atleast gives you a chance against most other weapons...but it looks like it will mainly be the assault rifle which replaces the SMG.

Sorry about the double post.

SMG RULES!!!! IT kills much quicker then BR, if you know how to use it. just put a ittle pressure on the down and it will stay straight....

Battle Rifle. It balances out the game really nicely. Then it isn't about who has the better combo or who got the power weapons first, it is more of a test of skill. With a br start spawning players still have a god chance at taking down those with power weapons and the ones using the power weapons must be good with them to hold onto them.

Try the map default BR on tombstone. It blows cause host owns everyone even if they are half way decent.

Well the BR in my opinion is too powerful to be the starting weapon.. In halo 2 the smg has to be the starting weapon because the BR would just be too powerful to start off with.... However i believe Bungie got it right in halo 3 the assault rifle looks like it will be the perfect starting weapon.

Great tip. Does it work in any other situations besides when you have an SMG and your opponent is out of BR ammo?

it should be the SMG for the simple reason that adds power to whoever gets the BR in the game. it gives a tactical disadvantage to those who just spawn and run to go get a flag/bomb in skirmish. if everyone spawns with a br, noobs start getting more and more kills while a better player is turned around. i have a friend that goes to my skool, and im way better than he is and hahd higher ranks(before the reset) than he, in all types except for hardcore. hmm i wonder why. and wit the br once u get to 25 plus, everyone knows how to use the BR correctly, which means whoever gets shot first is going to die. ANd it also means a flurry of noob combos which i hate!!!!! if it were up to me i would remove the plasma pistol from halo 2 or make it less affective for halo3.

i know i left myself out there for criticism, but thats wut forums are for, so bring it on bttchs!!

Don't hate me for saying this, but the SMG. Otherwise it would never be used.

the reason it should be BR is because if you are playing on a bigger map the smg is the worst weapon to have because you have to get up close and personal, although thats not always bad because i want to see the face of the person im killing every now and then so i guess both but the BR is still way better. i like typing -blam!- in. =D
