Ok i like whats going on here it has a very classic halo feel and its badass, but ar starts is stupid, if you don’t want to give a br fine but gives us a pistol at least you guys made the ar so dam powerful that honestly its ruining legendary slayer. Pistol or br starts and this playlist would be -Yoinking!- awesome. thats my 2 cents
The battle rifle outplays the Assault Rifle in almost every engagement (provided that you have good enough aim.) If everyone could spawn with one, there would be no reason to use the Assault Rifle whatsoever. The point of LS is to fight for the good stuff, not have it handed to you.
As for the magnum, it is more powerful than in previous games, so it makes sense for it not to be a spawn weapon. Although, constant Assault Rifle usage can get a little annoying, and the 12 second despawn time adds to the repitition.
They should at least make a BR variant, but not add a BR loadout.
