I am the hand of fate!

I don't want to get into a flame war over BR or AR starts in H3. But please, make a starting weapon that is at least mid ranged, and is accessible to lesser skilled and casual players but still rewards better play. I'm tired of spawning on giant maps with a pea shooter. I don't see why anyone would not want to have a weapon that is accessible to everyone but rewards the better players, that's how the game should work. I'd propose something mid-ranged but automatic. Just don't split the community with another AR.

BOOM DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put in an LMG, HMG, or EHMG as the starting weapon.

You think that shooting at someone for 3 seconds and killing them from long distances is a pea shooter? Dude, the assault rifle is the most powerful gun besides the power weapons, and the BR is only better because it's a precision weapon.

Bungie should implement the "Team Spelling" and "Team Grammar" hoppers immediately. You'd never make it above a 20 unless you got carried.

An AR, but with the first 2 shots fired dead center, then they start to fan out.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Why not a combination of both? like an automatic weapon that rewards precision aiming (headshots) and not spraying everywhere.
The smg in ODST is a step in the right direction. I doubt MM will have tilt or mythic on so it will serve some purpose.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Weird, I thought the pistol was more powerful because it only takes 4 bullets out of 8 to kill someone.

The ODST's SMG would be awesome, or a new gun would be sick.

It's under-estimated.
