Make the pistol a bit weaker, but have a scope similar to the BR's. That way, you can actually kill people from a farther range when you spawn. It also would help suppress spawnkilling. Keep the AR near what it is now, and make the BR a bit more accurate. Discuss.
Actually the only GOOD way to fix AR starts is to weaken Melee to 3-4 Melee kill. This would make the AR Beatdown ALOT harder to do and less random. Also, Halo CE and 2 BOTH took 3 melees to kill and they were better for it.
I highly disagree. The AR to beatdown ratio is good IMO. The thing that would fix the random beatdowns would be better servers and the original halo 3 decision system where the beatdowns come from who hit first. This would help lag and make it more fair.
I think the problem lays with the BR. It is the end all be all weapon. Look at 99 % of MVPs and their weapon is the BR.
This stems from the BR having too big of a clip and too quick of a kill. You can get like 4 kills per clip on full health enemies with the BR. That's ridiculous.
The AR has 1 kill per clip and you have to be pretty close to get that 1 kill without a melee.
Two things that would fix AR starts would be a bigger clip (to increase kill count per clip) and the replacement of the BR with a pistol similar to the ODST pistol.
