Do you think that the starting weapon for Halo 3 should be a BR type or a SMG type weapon. I without a doubt think that it should start with a br type weapon so that Halo 3 can be more balanced unlike Halo 2. Discuss bk's.

A couple of things...

1. To the KIIDS voting can you please state why you voted on what you did.
2. Ginchotron...it matters because I don't want this game to go down hill like H2 did (and I don't care what anybody says. Even Bungie knows it).

YOU have to be kidding me.You really think this is important.That's not important at all.

P.S.Also,you don't know what Bungie has in store for H3
weapons,it could be like neither.So don't jump to any conclusions.

Wow KID. Are YOU kidding me? What you just posted is a prime example of why SO many people think B.net is full of idots. And yes I know I probally going to get flamed for saying that even though it's true.

EDIT: Ok genious. What other kind of weapon would it start with...a rocket launcher, a beam type weapon, a needle type weapon. Yeah...that's right stfu.

Rifle spawn weapons are better than Handgun spawn weapons. Spawn Points shouldn't determine who wins a match.

sure they should

Why? It makes the game unfair for any team that gets bad Spawn Points. Why should a game be unbalanced?

surely....if you mean campaign starting weapon, more weapons will be found easily

and if you mean multiplayer, people will just have to get used to the weapon bungie gives them to start with

if EVERYONE gets a BR at the beginning, it would be just as balanced as if EVERYONE gets an SMG

If everybody started with a bad gun, then people who spawn near the good weapons would have an unfair advantage against people who just spawned who didn't have time to get to a better gun or people who didn't spawn near good guns. If everybody started with a Rifle, then they would have a good chance to kill somebody with another strong weapon.

i understand what you're saying, but people easily got through that "problem" if you would even call it that, in H2

Halo 2 is unbalanced, and people don't really get through that problem, but since players spawn with Grenades, the problem isn't that big in Halo 2 in the first place. Still, it's better for players to spawn with a good weapon than a weak weapon.

but other problems would arise from that, like people stating that it's useless to go for other weapons

for example, tell me why you would go for a plasma rifle if you started with a br?? you NEVER would, because you wouldn't have an smg to dual weild with it....unless you spent even more time to find one, which isn't practical

also, bad players would complain if they spawn to get headshotted over and over again from pretty far away

I mean multiplayer. Trigger092 what does spelling have to do with anything. By looking at your post you shouldn't be talking KID. And actually I'm 16 and have a life so please don't go judging people over the internet. Only idiots do that...oh wait.

I didn't vote because the weapon spawn depends on the level, be it campaign or multiplayer. You wouldn't normally spawn with a BR on a map like Warlock (although it is fun) and you wouldn't normally spawn with an SMG on a map like Coag (although it has happened).

I also think it's funny how Gemeye flames people in his own thread, awesome dude, keep up the good work...
