Why does every playlist in H3 other than Swat, Snipers and Big Team still have this cancerous gametype with a baseball club as the primary starting weapon?

Retarded. 'It promotes map movement.' No it doesn't, it inhibits it because if you move out of a small room you'll get killed by people with a BR who you can't counter. Of course, anyone who uses that argument won't understand the problem with AR starts because they're so bad that the people they face aren't good enough to take advantage of it anyway.

What Halo game do I play? Reach is terrible, but with AR starts so is H3. In fact I would go as far to say that H3 with AR starts is unbearable.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

Play MLG? Or just play in a big party so that you can veto, or play with a mic so you can yell at the guys in the lobby to "VETO 4 BRZZZZzzzzzszszz"

Play MLG?
MLG is now full of boosters and derankers anywhere other than 50 high. Plus some playlists (see: Doubles) have AR objective gametypes which you can veto and end up with ARs slayer. Both gametypes are equally terrible and unplayable.

They are indeed not that bad, I prefer the AR over the BR in close combat.

But everyone (including me) rushes at the beginning of the game to the BR...

No that gun was awesome. Overpowered guns can be annoying but they are fun to use and anyone could use the UMP. The AR is useless and dull.

ARs can come in handy of course i veto for BRs but i work with what i have

It was still retarded that they never nerfed it once. Hense the gun is retarded.

50s in: Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolves, Objective, Ranked BTB, Swat, Snipers.

I've never met anyone with a brain than preferred AR starts.

  • 02.26.2012 9:29 AM PDT

There's normally enough BR's lying around certain maps, guardian and high ground are the ones the should be BR starts all the time! AR starts just don't work on these maps IMO.

quit complaining, you were just on the reach forum go back

BR is overpowered.

Also, Magnums are actually very good weapons. Learn to use them.

This.

And AR starts aren't bad if the connection is good. Other than that, they're annoying as hell.

You know that you can go pick up a different weapon, right? You don't always need to have a BR in order to get kills.

There may not be a "I" in team, but there is a "I" in Win.

Okay, either learn how to kill people with the AR. OR, pick up a BR or a Carbine or something. Not too hard bud. If you cant find one of those two switch to your pistol and pick up a plasma rifle. Or shoot your AR in bursts that works alot better than spray and pray

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

To the contrary, I hate, and I mean hate, with a passion, any gametype where you don't have an AR from the start. A game of BRs only with no secondary on Orbital, was honestly the worst game I've ever played in any Halo game. I hate all gametypes that lack an AR start, in Reach and Halo 3.

As a matter of fact, I hate BR starts, even if I have an AR secondary, in any playlist other then Big Team. In free for all games, or small team games, BR starts are terrible.

SMG starts in Halo 2 were worse.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

AR starts are horrible, but I might take an AR start Pit over a BR start Orbital. It just depends on how bad or good the map is. I mostly dislike ARs because they promote very slow games that involve lots of kill trading.

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.
