I don't see whats so wrong with the BR anyways, its probably the most used and one of the best weapons in Halo 3.
You are absolutely right, it is one of the best weapons of the game, but that's exactly why it should not be a spawn weapon in 100% of the btb games. The rocket launcher is an amazing weapon, but it wouldn't make much sense if everyone spawned with those! Do you see what I'm trying to say?
That is a very commonly used and extremely flawed analogy. Default settings or not the BR will still be the most saught after and most utilized weapon in BTB battle matches period. This is due in large part to its versatility and mid range efficiency especially on huge maps like Sandtrap.
The contrasting gameplay dynamics associated with BT BR starts in comparison to Rocket starts completely undermines your arguement here. While one places emphasis on aiming precision the other results in a random splash damage spam fest. No comparison.
Like I stated in my previous post with BTB now being ranked experienced players will be pitted against opponents of equal skill who are just as efficient or inept with the BR as they are so I really don't see what the problem is here.
I don't really care about precision, stratagy is the big deal for me, and weapon aquisition is intrinsic to that but weapon aquisition is hindered when you start off with a sought after weapon. I can see the value of it on very large maps, but having them as the starting weapon for 100% of the games is a bit much.
