Forgive your enemies but remember their names.

You know what I'm just repost what I said in Halo or COD thread.
"BR lovers claim that it is the only weapon that requires skill, but I just don't think that is true.
A truly skilled player is one who can pick up any weapon around them and be successful with it. A truly great player is one who is not a one-trick pony. I'm not saying that that you can't be a good player if you are proficient one gun in particular. You can be a great sniper or a great driver you just shouldn't put down others for choosing to wield other weapons when you choose to use the best all around weapon in the game whether it is the BR in Halo 3 or the MP40 in CoD WaW.
The problem is that right now not many other weapons besides the BR and Carbine can really fight back effectively against a BR or Carbine.
AR:clip is too shallow and too inaccurate when compared to the BR
Needler: useless unless you hit them with all 7 needles
Magnum: fires too slowly and has an unforgiving magazine.
Spiker: Spikes move too slowly and drop down too fast to be used at any range farther than point-blank.
PP: 26 shots to kill and travels slowly. Its more of a tool then a weapon.
PR: Again, plasma travels slowly and has a very hard time finishing off unshielded foes."
Being able to use a BR does not mean you are skilled. The BR is the best gun in the game with very few negative qualities. If it's in Reach it has to be changed somehow because in Halo 3 it is a terrible starting weapon. A balanced starting weapon is one that allows the player to defend themselves against most threats but still encourages people to use other weapons. The BR doesn't encourage players to use any other weapons and as a result most MM games end up being just a bunch of people running around with BRs and nothing else.
There should only be one starting weapon in Reach and I think it should be similar the ODST SMG.
*like and agree* except for last statement about we need the odst smgs
To add to this,if they follow the books on this one which I think to a certain extent they will, then we should see alot of really cool older guns in game, these could easily replace br
