It's completely based on what map it is and where I spawn.

I feel naked without a battle rifle. You get less people running for them too than you do for the power weapons. The idea is that I grab the nearest rifle, then I can support my team-mates' who ran to the power weapons from a distance.

Though if there's an uncontested shotgun you can bet I'm picking it up.

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

I usually go for the nearest BR or carbine. But as RhythmKiller said, if there's a shotgun lying around, it'll be mine as well.

The only occasion where I do NOT go for BR/carbine is BTB slayer on Midship. Pretty much nothing beats SMG+PR unless you run into the sword or shotgun guy. But even then it depends on who spotted whom first.

i like to go for the br then go for the sniper

At first I ran for the rockets, but now I pretty much take whatever's closest. Generally, I like to have one longer-range weapon and then one short-range weapon for backup, for use when I have to reload the primary weapon.

I feel like I'm naked if I don't use an energy sword. If I can get to it. If not, my second priority is battle rifle.

For me, it completely depends on the map. For the big ones like Coagulation, Containment, Waterworks, and sometimes Zanzibar, I will usually run for the sniper. If its any other map, I will just use the starting weapon and get as many kills as possible before I get killed by a sniper or rocket.

Edit: I also run for the nearest plasma grenade spawn.

This unit may wreck, or explode at any moment.

My strategy comes from apathy, I usually wait till a guy with a power weaopon comes to me, then I kill him and take it. Its a lot less work.

Procrastination never ends...

I voted who cares. I mostly play team skirmish and rely on avoiding confrontation rather that winning confrontation.
