I think it would be cool if we could choose preferred weapons that we would start each round with for matchmaking and as an option in customgames. Now don't just blow this off right away keep reading! Okay so you would choose your preferred weapons in settings at the start menu so it's not like you can choose a different starting weapon every time you spawn in matchmaking. If a matchmaking gametype requires certain weapons than preferred weapons would be turned off. If you want to change your starting weapons you have to exit the game you're playing and got back the start menu. In custom games you would have the option to turn preferred weapons on or off. Also the preferred weapons you could choose would be limited. Maybe only 4 weapons to choose from, and no power weapons. Also the starting weapons you could choose from would vary on your character model, but still no power weapons.
This was suggested before.
No. Why?
()Weapon imbalance on starts. AR versus Rockets? Versus Sniper? Versus BR?
()It discourages people to leave their protected areas to go looking for weapons.
()It doesn't force players comfortable with one particular weapon in a weak state by not having that weapon.
()Standard starts also limit how much power a particular weapon can dish out before it's empty.
I think you misunderstand me. Only a small fraction of the weapons would be available to choose for preferred weapons, and no power weapons. You can't start with a rocket, sniper, or anything like that. So people would still be encouraged to go out and find other weapons. I'm not sure what you meant by that last part. Being able to choose starting weapons wouldn't unbalance how much ammo a weapon has.
