We should at least be able to choose our starting weapons from a list of 5 snipers/bolt action, 5 shotguns, 5 smgs, 5 lmgs, 5 semi-automatic rifles, 5 automatic rifles, and 5 hmgs.

if there was a choice option it would be light weapons with no zoom - ins

finding your weapon is the great thing about halo.

I didn't say choose a class, I said choose a weapon....................and weapon finding is bad in my opinion because of power weapon campers.

Yeah, you have to actually go out and find the power weapon, instead of just spawning with it... Halo is balanced because you actually have to fight to get the power weapon. Everyone starts off even, and if you get to the power weapon first, it's because you made the greatest effort to get it, not because you've played for a while and your level 50. Also, the amount of weapons you suggested is too large, Halo has a very small roster of weapons, they can't completely pump up the list without expecting a lot of imbalances. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

No. Halo is not going to turn in to those stupid games where you can customize everything.

Power weapons are fair because you have a more or less equal chance to fight for said power weapons.

Beware the smiley face! =D

NO. THIS ISNT COD. NO CLASSES. NO WEAPON CHOICE.

All players have to start on even terms - same weapons, same health. Otherwise the game is ruined and it isnt halo, its call of -blam-.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

So what would you choose? AR, SMG, or Magnum?

You shouldn't be able to choose anything. Gametype default is fine. If you don't like the play style, which is a core gameplay mechanic, there are plenty of other games that let you choose your weapon.
