Subject: Weapon Starting Idea

I just thought of something, I know someone else probably thought of this too but do you guys think an option for custom game weapon starting would be choose what each team starts with: Like Blue Team starts with SMG while Red Team starts with Plasma Rifle. I think that would be cool and if Bungie doesn't make the mistake of not putting every weapon on every map(forge) and allows the option of starting with any weapon in the game then it would be possible to have UNSC vs Covenant games.

Or Elites start with Plasma Rifles, Spartans with SMGs. It would work if they were balanced.

This is assuming the Plasma Rifle will still be the Covenant equivalent of the SMG. I think Bungie will make it like an actual rifle.

I was just using an example. I would have said BR and Carbine but then this would turn into a topic about BR better than Carbine.

Even better - Players get the choice of starting with either the Plasma Rifle or the Assault Rifle (Both weapons should be similar in Halo Reach) for standard gametypes, and for BR starts players can choose either the Battle Rifle or the Covenant Carbine. You know, like Gears 2 allows players to choose between the Hammerburst and the Lancer.

^That actually sounds cool although I hate Gears of War but if they guns balance right to each other then that idea could work but I am just saying for a custom game setting choose what each team starts with for a UNSC vs Covenant or something.
