I just want to hear what people think about all the BR starts that bungie has but in matchmaking. Personally I think there are way to many espically if you play double team. You start every map with a BR! I just don't like starting with a BR on maps like asencion or warlock. Maps that are larger like Coagaltion or even Zanzibar are fine its just the smaller maps that piss me off when everyone has a BR. (host atvantage sometimes poses a problem too although I can usually get over that and use gernades effectivlly)

P.S. Don't think I'm posting this b/c I'm horrible with a BR b/c I can use it just fine.

RIP Halo 2.

Id' rather fight host BR by spawning with a BR. Otherwise host gets BR and you're stuck with el-crappo SMG where the thing can't hit anything more than 20 feet in front of you. At least you have a chance with an off-host BR if you play right.

The BR starts are mainly in Objective gametypes.

However, I agree with Wells 100%.

I'm sick of BRs too, especially with all the button glitching. If Halo 2 was all hyped up about dual wielding, they should spawn us with duals, not BRs!

Hah, I'm starting to get better at Button Combos in custom, but NEVER even TRY to use them in matchmaking. It's cheating. And yes, button combos annoy the hell out of me.

Well what I would say to that is you need to learn to use grenades, suprise tactics, and closed spaces to your atvantage. SMG can be an amazing weapon when used with grenades. Remember I'm talking about the smallers maps where you are in close corriders and not maps where you are going to be 20 feet away from anyone.

Yeah, buttom glitching in customs are allowed (if host allows them), as Achronos himself said, we are the deciders of the rules in our customs and can legally boot someone because we said no beat downs and they beat down.

Haha! The T7uth!

Achronos? What is his important? I think he's on my friends list.

In my custom games I ban anyone who crouch jumps, it is such a cheap glitch.

Achronos is the Bungie.net Overlord.

I can't stand those lousy crouch jumpers.

The hell's slide jumping?

Slide jumping is practically useless with the exception of on sanctuary or ascension.

What do you guys mean?

slide jumping is where you crouch on a downware slope after a reg jump and you can jump farther. slide jumping can also be useful on midship thank you. maybe you should ban that along with the use of talking in your custom matches because then no1 could say anything offensive, and then maybe jumping altogether, and then maybe shooting so that all you do is run around like chickens with no heads

Slide jumping on midship is pointless though. On ascension or sanctuary you slide jump right at the start to get a head start to get the weapons before the enemy can.
