Poll: Why Both BR and AR Starts Should Be Removed [closed]
Total Votes: 6
AR starts are dull and boring, because everyone feels some need to charge at the nearest enemy while spraying and praying. Once they get there, they beat them down. If two players see each other and start shooting within one second, they will both beat each other down. This isn't fun at all. This takes no skill.
However, BR starts are also dull. The BR is a very useful weapon and doesn't encourage weapon pickup. If you can four or five shot people from across a map the size of The Pit, why would you bother picking up a Plasma Rifle, which can barely hit people 20 feet in front of you.
My Solution
Introduce a UNSC Carbine. It would be a 6 or 7 headshots-to-kill weapon, and would a range slightly less than that of the BR. Also, upgrade the current pistol (Halo 3) to be a 5 or 6 headshots-to-kill weapon (if it isn't already), but keep the range the same. You would spawn with these two weapons in most games. The BR and AR would still be on the maps, just not as frequent as they are now on some maps.
Also, the Halo 3:ODST Pistol and Silenced SMG should be kept for Reach. Just don't keep them as spawn weapons. Also, I don't care a bit about canon. If you want a storyline to take precedence over gameplay, go back to watching movies.
