I think this would be a somewhat good idea. I agree with both sides arguments, but ultimately, I would just prefer a BR. I live more often when I have a BR rather than an SMG. I know someone is going to say 'That's just cuz you suck.', but it isn't, really. The BR may not be a power weapon, but it is a lot closer to a power weapon than the SMG.

Then again, me dying more often with the SMG rather than the BR may be to my aversion to DWing (I like being able to throw grenades, thank you very much).

I myself love the BR. So whats the best start? It Depends on the map and gametype. Lets say your on warlock with an SMG start. Would a BR start make a difference in that game? Yes! Think about it. The team that controls the BRs in a SMG start game will most likely win. I doubt the losing team will have time to return fire if the get their hands on a BR, that is if the winning team knows what they are doing. I have seen this happen before on this map. I'm sure most of you guys have too.

Even if people didn't use button combos, they would still beat you. Stop talking.

Again, and again, and again. You keep suggesting BR starting weapons for pretty much every gametype. Only to compensate for your lack of skill with every other weapon.

although I can agree with you on many aspects of the BR being teh starting weapon, it all depends on the gametype, but hey on any gametype I find myself scrambling for a BR, because I can button glitch? no although I can BxR I don't ever find button glitches critical in winning a BR fight, They do make it easier but more than often I just out BR people or go for the 3 shot beat down approach if it's a close in battle... Do I like playing MLG? no because I find myself missing my Plasma Rifle... But anyway back to what I said in the first place, it depends on the gametype, aah what the hell am I saying I'd rather have a BR start on any gametype as well...

1. BR start helps eliminate the annoying spawn campers
2. BR start makes the game more balanced on most maps
3. If your good with a BR your ready to roll
4. Do I use only a BR to compensate for my lack of skill with any other weapon? Hell no I'll be the first to run for dualies if I can't find teh weapons I need and on top of that I love dual wielding as well

ALL MAPS AND PLAYLIST MUST BECOME RIFLE START

Poor kid, doesn't even know how to respond to an insult...I bet he gets beat up a lot...
more than likely, so sad, but i choice the choice of non voting, i think the ar should be the starting wepon, auto fire and resonable acuracy over distance, its the perfect spawn wepon

yes for halo 3
i know, but i dont think either of the smg or the br are a perfect spawn wepon, if any wepon was the most ballanced spawn wepon it would be the magnum, accurate even over long distances, and works extremely well at close range if you can pull your shots at the right time

that and mostly i play swat

I agree that the BR should be the spawn weapon in H2. When i play slayer and spawn with a SMG, its like not spawning with a weapon at all. I always find myself hiding in a room or corner looking a point on the floor where another weapon will spawn. Out of a 15 minute game, I probably am looking at the ground for about 10 minutes.... Not my idea of fun. When spawn with an SMG, it is just the most annoying feeling. And lets just say i run into the enemy when all i have is My Little SMG That Could, i find myself either running away. Or i charge them to either throw a nade or beat them down. I can't even remember the last time i killed someone with SMG bullets. And as far as weapon glitches go, if everyone can do it then its not cheating. If it was that big of a deal then bungie would have fixed it at the same time as they fixed the Rocket/Sword lunge glitch.

The magnum can't kill anything with a full clip (at least against a good player). And using grenades would be the only way to kill 2 people efficiently if they had full shield. It would destroy Halo's game play.

haven't you played against level 30+? Using the magnum would mean "free kills" for the opposing team. It's a very inaccurate gun. it doesn't shoot the center of the cross hair enough times for it to be called accurate. And even if you stood still, the magnum still isn't consistent with the center of the cross hair.

A BR would make a better spawn than a Magnum.

A BR start is only necessary in some maps, like coag which you mentioned in your example. But on other levels such as midship or lockout, starting with an smg is perfectly fine. Its not that hard to take out people with duals or even one smg. Besides there not going to bother switching anything since halo 3 comes out in under 2 months. They also wont switch every start to BR because it would just be hardcore but with a motion sensor, so it would be pointless.
