I keep seeing threads about how bad the SMG is for a starting weapon in New Mombosa. So I desided to see what the Maw comunity wants for default H2v starting weapons. I'm only polling REALISTIC starting weapons, no rocket launcher options.

I seriously needed to update my signature. I'll never forget it, though.

BR or Carbine would be the way to go.

Having no weapons equipped would be kind of cool but would probably up the amount of TKing for weapons at the start of games...

*person grabs a BR*
*Person is Tked by weaponless moron*

Person: WTF YOU ASS!!!
TKer: Hey! I NEEDED a weapon!


...yeah

I would say as a starting weapon keep the SMG, having a crap Weapon at the start makes it a bit more interesting.

I vote SMG. But of course there are plenty of gametypes where you spawn with battle rifles.

You can't attack with out a weapon, right? So how are they supposed to TK? Anyway, I think they all should start with rocket lanchers 'cause that make for mass ownage right away, but since that's not on the poll, I think nothing would be the best choice.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

SMG starts simply make Halo 2 a game of luck to see who spawns closer to the power weapons.

I assume you've played H2 xbox, because everyone who has knows the smg is crap. I was going to suggest the same two weapons but you got to it first. I read about the Future Force Warriors when I was reading up on GRAW a while back, I'm surprised to see someone has read about them as well.

You say that you're polling realistic starting weapons yet you list a Needler...

Seeing as the Server owner will be able to designate the starting weapons for any given map, this is kind of a moot point.

It shouldnt be a covenant weapon. So i say Battle Rifle, who would rush into the battlefield prepared with only an SMG?

When I say that, I mean nothing thats overpowering. Sure, the needler is unpracticle, but it's balenced (even though most of the weapons already are).

Well think about it, if your playing as an elite, it would make scence to have a covenant weapon. But alot of covanent weapons suck...I admit that.

They're not changing anything, God damn it. By map default chances are you will spawn with the SMG or a plasma rifle.

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

Have my baby's

Oh yeah and i dont think that it will matter because dont make pc games just have a list of servers and you pick one?

Unless Bunige has announced matchmaking for the pc version, the main weapon will be the choice of the host.

I'm not playin' MM in H2V.
The only reason I play it on xbox is because I don't have enough friends online at one time to start some good, fair, and balanced BR start games. But that won't be a problem with you guys :)

  • 11.29.2006 2:28 PM PDT

Let there be CHAOS!

Posted by: ImSpartacus
but back on topic, i think the br would be a cool starting weapon, but why cant we spawn with two weapons? br+shotty? carbine+shotty?


Erm... you can.

Those would be poll results if I had enough room...you seem to like the shotgun. Speeking of the shotgun, do you think they'll make is a little better, not any drastic changes, just a little more accurate.

You guys need to pay closer attention to the Bungie Weekly Updates, seriously. I'm pretty sure that they said there will be no matchmaking in H2 Vista. Besides, it's not as bad as everybody makes it out to be.

And hello? Ever heard of Team/Rumble Hardcore?

You can, please think carefully before you speak. It's just that map default weapon starts usually only start you off with the SMG or a plasma rifle.

I think the battle rifle would be agood starting wepon, because you need to have a wepon that can actualy do damage over the distanses you would have to cover at the begining of the game.
