My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

... We should have DMR starts on large maps, you're right. AR starts on them is silly.
(Edit: Although, for Anniversary, having the Pistol secondary is pretty much the same thing. So having the Pistol Primary and AR second would be just fine for large maps I think)
But for smaller maps like, as you say, Anchor 9 (though I think we'll all agree that's on the VERY small end of map size), it adds weapon variety (since people aren't just using the Pistol and DMR) and changes gameplay since people CAN use those weapons, but everybody doesn't necessarily HAVE them. I like it.
The variety argument is what I'm challenging the most, though. It doesn't seem to promote any variety. The only additional weapons being used are the magnum and the AR. Coincidentally, you spawn with both of those. It's more forced variety than anything else.
Besides, if you play for variety why not vote for DMR starts and have your AR as your secondary? You'll be handicapping yourself but if you play for variety I highly doubt stats matter to you.
