Yes. Yes I would. If the guy had to pick up both of those weapons from the field, and therefore had a limited abount of time with them(because of ammo and people will be focusing him), then what the hell is wrong with that?
It was virtually impossible to fight out of a spawn kill. I hated AR spawns and the fact they are gone in Halo 4 is a huge upside.
Thats what happens if you let the other team dominate the map all the way to your spawns. You shouldn't get rewarded with random power weapons and spawn weapon of your choice just because the other team is dominating.
The other team should always have a chance to fight out of it. If the team who are dominating are good enough then they will continue to dominate even if the other team have more balanced weapons. Getting one good push and then getting cheap kills for the rest of the match does not equal a skillful game.
Hence why Team BRs was the only viable competitive slayer gametype in Halo 3.
Most Halo 3 maps had BRs right near the spawns. The example you give is the Pit, which has a sniper right at your base. If you were losing that badly on the pit, you deserved it. I agree, it probably wasn't fun for you, but that is the beauty of classic Halo games, the loser didn't get handouts to keep them from feeling bad. It made competition and wanting to win worthwhile.
