Subject: Heretic Starts

So for those of you who never played Halo 2, on Midship, the map Heretic is based on, the default starting weapon was not the SMG like on every other map, but the Plasma Rifle. Additionally, you didn't start with two frag grenades like on every other map, but instead with two plasma grenades. Now obviously, after a little ways into the game's life, nobody played just default, regular gametypes, so that wasn't really an issue; everyone would just change the starts from "Map Default" to whatever they wanted (usually BRs and frags). But in keeping with Midship, do you think Heretic will feature the same default starts, or will it use the same default starts as every other map (i.e. AR and frags)?

From videos I have seen it features AR starts and plasma grenade starts as default.

Its been a while, and i cant remember spawning with those, however spawning with say a plasma rifle, plasma pistol and 2 stickies would be fun i guess.

They better make it what it was in Halo 2.

They are killing my memories, like they did with Lockout.

Watch the G4 Video on Heretic for proof.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

I don't know about custom games but in match making it's probably be like every single other map where it's AR/BR/Pistol starts.

AR starts will make this map bland, they need to spice it up a bit a go old school midship.

You cannot start with those weapons in Halo 3, even in custom games.

They should do more stuff like this for other maps.
