Assault Rifle Starts only please. It makes the game way more fun. Vs Br starts where it becomes standoffs and strafing over and over all day long and no need for any other weapons. Bring back the AR starts only and forever. I believe this is the core problem with Halo now and in the past when the playlists started to have BR starts. You have these hardcore no lifers who play together in teams and do nothing but play halo begging for BR starts only. So they can sit back in a group of 4 and shoot and strafe. Well I believe that it takes the fun out of what halo was meant to be. When Halo CE was first played I remember playing with assault rifles we didn’t use the pistols because it wasn’t very much fun they were so overpowered an unbalanced and it ruined the game and no one would use any other gun. Then halo 2 came out and at first you used smg’s as starting weapons it was a blast and then came the BR starts added into the mix and it became less about having fun and more about sitting back and strafing back and forth again and no use for the smg or any other gun for that matter because once again the BR was overpowered. Then when Halo 3 first came out they had only AR starts and it was awesome I was like this is what halo was meant to be and all the weapons were being used then a few months later that they added BR starts and that is when the population started to decrease and it wasn’t as fun or balanced anymore. The majority of gamers play games for fun and they want variety. Please keep the fun by only having AR starts. I loved this beta at first but since the BR starts it has become stale and boring and not fun and once again no other weapons are being used because they are overpowered again. Please bring back the fun that halo can be by having assault rifle starts only. Who wants to use only one gun? Boring and not fun.
The problem in the past with AR starts is that the team that finds and controls all the BRs on the map usually dominates the game.
I have to agree with you there. See, I’m a self-proclaimed “casual”, and with good reason, being a Korean student is more than overwhelming. If anything, BR starts are bad because of two reasons (especially for casuals like me).
1) If your team sucks, they drag you down.
I know BR start games are supposed to have an emphasis on teamwork. But I’m a damn student and so are my friends. The result is that I have no friends that can play Halo with me. If I go into matchmaking and have to play with bad teammates against competent players, I do want to be able to carry my team (yes I am a bit tryhard-ish.), and in AR starts that works relatively well compared to BR starts, if you can lock down weapons you can control power positions better and your team will act more competent. But in BR starts? In BR starts, you have to have teammates that can properly engage mid-range targets with their team. This works well when teams are evenly balanced. But when I get bad teammates and competent enemies, my stupid teammates will get mowed down by good enemies that move around together, covering each other and team-shotting teammates. See, it’s kinda hard to carry my team when I can be shot from the other side of the map while my team is all respawning when I’m done respawning. It’s not a matter of individual skill, it’s a matter of people having to play with unskilled teammates. And that makes my individual stats plunge into oblivion (which is inevitable when your team is getting spawnkilled). It’s BS.
2) If you have a bad connection, goodbye and have a nice death.
AR starts do still take blows from lag. However, BRs, being precision weapons, makes you perform even worse with lag. Adding to that, in a 1v1 BR fight, when you’re trying to outstrafe a person and that person lags and teleports 3 feet to the side, you lose. No exceptions (unless that guy can’t aim if his life depended on it). I think it’s quite obvious what the rest of my point is.

I’m reporting you. Stop posting this eveywhere and in threads that don’t even relate. I believe Halo will die in a ball of fury of 343 listened to you. Thank God they won’t.
Another thread where the OP isn’t good enough with the BR so thinks it should be AR starts.

I can only assume this is a troll topic
Don’t get them wet or feed them after midnight folks
Also, you want variety, yet you only want AR starts. You says AR starts its more balanced, yet its clearly not, whatever team gets the BRs first will easily dominate, it should be BR starts 100% of the time.
BR starts in this game play like generic shooter 101 and are neither fun nor competitive when playing by yourself with randoms.

Nah. Rather, 343 shouldn’t force BR starts down our throats.

BR starts are superior,
they aren’t forced down your throats anymore than AR starts were forced down our throats for the first week of the beta
I don’t mind if both were in the final game, but implemented in a way that it wont be every game I play. MCC BR starts is making me sick. Variety is key.
The starting weapon load out needs to be empty and players should wait 9 months in a womb before they can spawn. Naked.
AR starts are fine as long as there are plenty of BR’s on the map.
As many have posted if one team gets all the BRs on AR start they dominate, so ita important there are enough on the map to counter this.
Or to be completely alternative LR start. The light rifle is brilliant in Halo 5. Can’t wait to see the carbine rifle.
Oh my god, an essay on how we should have AR as starting weapons.
