Btw - polls on bungie.net mean absolutely nothing, so please don't use them to try and prove some kind of point.

This would be a horrible idea. First off, covenant and UNSC weopons are NOT balanced, so that system where elites get these, and humans get these, would not work.
Why would anyone get an AR to spawn with if they can get a sniper. This will impossibly make the game unfun. Games where you can pick your weapon, Cod, rainbow 6 vegas, have guns that are all resonably balanced. the point of power weapons is that you have to fight for them because they aren't balanced. It's not meant to be spawned with. HORRIBLE IDEADepending on the execution, it could be amazing. Obviously the UNSC and Covenant weapons would be re-balanced.
And why would someone spawn with an AR instead of the Sniper? Maybe if you spawn as the sniper class, you have less health, motion trackers, strength, etc. than the class that spawns with the AR. Balance.
Yes but that raises about a thousand new balancing issues not directly related to it. If we modify things like this would we also/ should we also include new equipment or methods that can upgrade your power and ability for your class of character on the fly on the battlefield. If for example, I'm a sniper and I kill a guy, would I be able to take a chip out of his armor to upgrade my suit, i.e. powering up my health, radar, weapon accuracy, grenade throwing distance, strength, melee power, running speed, jump height, driving ability, flying ability, heavy weapon (missile pod/turret) ability and crouch walk speed? The best part is that even if H:R has something like this, which it won't, it could still maintian the gameplay it already has. Or to make it simple, If Im a sniper and I kill an assault trooper, I can take his chip but in doing so switch to his soldier class. That way, your still able to do a little of everything. Other options include using chips as weapons in the sense that if you find one somewhere you can just switch your class, but in doing so lose your weapons. This raises the need for one standard weapon everyone can use. Teh weapon? Combat knife, or plasma knife for the leets. Think about it. theres a million and one way they could play this game out, I just hope the one way they make it play out, allows us to play it a million and one ways.
