In Halo 1, you always had the pistol as a starter, so even if the other team/everyone else had the freakin' lethal looking weapons, you still had a chance of survival because of the pistol's balance with them. In Halo 2, you start with the SMG/PR, so if the other team/everyone else has the good weapons, you're screwed. Don't believe me? Play a game of Halo 1 with a friend and let them get the rocket or sniper. Then play a game of Halo 2 with that person and give them the sniper/rocket and see what happens.
-Alright. If starting with a super weapon (if it can compete with the rockets and the sniper, its a superweapon) makes it fair, then lets all start with rockets.
-But wait, they have a gametype like that called 'rockets', and not a lot of people like it.
-Well, this is different, becuase there are other weapons on the map.
-But why should i pick up the other weapons if i have the rocket launcher?
-Well... uh..
-And in rockets, whoever sees the other person first wins. Wait, isn't that just like halo1? With the pistol?
