I would like 100% BR starts in Ranked.
The final word on AR/BR starts. Here is a message from Shishka, that I got, when I asked him why my thread about BR starts was locked. Here you go, directly from the top:

I wasn't the person that locked your thread, but if I were a guessing man, I'd say it's because we're used to these attempts at "intelligent discussion" going horribly wrong and devolving into pointless flame wars between the two sides of the same proverbial coin.
Generally this happens despite the best intentions of the original post, so don't take it personally.
Basically it breaks down to this: Some people feel all games should be BR starts. Others don't. The internet draws a divide and suggests that if you don't agree with the BR starts side, you're not good enough at the game to have a qualified opinion. As you can imagine, this can be offensive to people who don't think the game should be strictly BR starts.
Note nowhere did I say anything about "AR starts only." That has less to do with the argument than you think. The core of the argument is that the majority are happy with standard weapon starts, or specifically are not interested in just BR starts, and a lot of people that feel BR starts are the only way to go look down their nose at anyone who disagrees. Meanwhile, starting with any weapon is a legitimate way to play (otherwise we wouldn't have made it an option to change the starting weapon), and the internet continues to squabble over it while the bulk of Halo 3 players enjoy the game.
So again, no fault of your own. We've just seen these threads before a million times over, and they always go in the same direction: People that want BR starts want BR starts, and everyone else doesn't. A bunch of people assert reasoning based on personal experience and hearsay rather than any genuine insight, and eventually people just start hurling insults.
