While I see your point about the SMG being better than the BR as a starting weapon, I have to dissagree, to a point. As an overall better weapon, the BR is superior. If someone is running at me with an SMG and I have a BR, I just keep distance between us and render them helpless. When you say you can take out the majority of people with BRs, you're assuming the majority of the people with BRs are pretty dumb (but that is a TOTAL possibility lol). As far as a starting weapon goes, for some matches I like the SMG. It forces people to run out and hold down weapons, which is the main factor in success for H2 MM. If the other team has Overshield, Snipes, Rock, and Shotty... well your team usually uses. If SMGs are spawning weps, your team could hold down BRs and possibly take over other weps, or lose BRs and be 10x more screwed.
So for the readers digest version:
SMG<BR in terms of damage, range, and effectiveness
SMG>BR in terms of slayer challange and variety
