Subject: Customisable Starting Equiptment

I was hoping that in halo 2, you can get customisable starting equiptment.

I halo 1, you had a choice of "custom" or "generic". There was also the ability to customise the starting equiptment, but you'd have to make all the weapons of that calibur (ie: Rockets only to start with rocket launchers).

What i want is the ability to start with whatever 2 weapons i want, and not have the weapons all around me be changed. Do you get what i'm trying to say?

I think this type of thing has been confirmed actually, don't remember where though.

Yeah... that would be neat to start out with any two weapons of your choosing, and because it is all balanced it should work. Of course some weapons would be abused this way (sniper, rocket launcher), but it is doable.

It wouldn't be balanced, mp or sp.

Oh yea, but I doubt it will happen, because I remember reading somewhere that Bungie placed the rocket launcher in certain places (on the defensive side on zanziber) and stuff like that, and wouldn't really work that well in CTF cause there would be like a whole team of snipers and rocket launchers... but in slayer... that is a different story.

I think if everybody in multiplayer started with the same thing and you could chose exactly what weapons you want ala Perfect Dark.

It wouldn't work out. There's reasons why there is only one rocket launcher in BG and damnation.

You'll probably just pick what weapons you want everyone in the game to start out with when they spawn...

i hate to be an anti conformist... but i hate that idea.

i love the custom tailored weapon starting set in halo. it was level dependent... meaning that if bungie thought the weapons you should start off were the ones you start off. its the way it was designed to be played.

if you happen to be no good at the plasma pistol or AR- too freaking bad.

and if everyone had the ability to start off with a sniper rifle or a SSM, the game would be lame. those weapons are positioned in special spots[ like in the open where everyone can see you] for a reason-- strateegery.

taking this away, although fun every blue moon, is not what i want every halo2 game to be like.
ill stick with the custom, thank you.

exactly. everone needs to start even, but the weapons should be customizable. Forexaple I want the neediler in other setting besides Normal (maybe on other settings but i dont think so) and with more weapons it will be harder and hard for Bungie to get a layout that everyone likes.
