I realize this would take a great deal of work, but I don't really have a conception of HOW MUCH work. Please don't answer unless you actually have a clue...

We all know maps can easily be added to Halo 2. We also know that other games have added items like weapons via DL'ed content. Well, is it feasible for Bungie to add the AR as it is currently constituted in the Beta as the default starting weapon in Halo 2 Matchmaking? There would be no need for changing weapons placements on the maps....just have everything default and add the AR as the starting weapon on most maps.

Bungie could just use the old Halo 1 AR skin and use the specs (reticule, rate of fire, etc.) that they already have set-up for Halo 3. If anything, it would create a bridge between the traditional Halo 2 gameplay and Halo 3 in September.

Thoughts (especially from Bungie staff) would be appreciated.

1) To make maps like Warlock, Tombstone, etc. that are crappy with either BR or SMG starts more fun. For example, if you spawn low on Warlock you are dead without a BR, and all Tombstone has become is a cross-map BR-fest where host dominates. AR starts eliminate those problems.

2) To help us see how Halo 3 would play with an AR starting weapon.

It probably won't take too much work, but it will require another update. I don't think people like those. And as a person who does not like the Assault Rifle, i don't think it's such a good idea.

98% of the people who play this game are garbage. If you're one of the 2% who isn't, copy & paste this into your signature.

Good idea. Other games have DLC with new weapons, so why can't Halo???
