No, why? This is the same argument for using the CAR SMG in Titanfall 2, not everyone wants to sweat 24/7 and the AR is the go-to casual weapon. Ranked is for skills and sweats, Casual is for game and chill.

So Iāll give you my personal opinion here. Halo 2 and 3 were the best periods of time the franchise has seen. I played all the way up until 5 and quit there as it didnāt even feel like Halo anymore. In Halo 3/Reach when I spawned with no BR/DMR I absolutely hated it, I hated such a restricted range on my load out, and didnāt enjoy how significantly less skill is required to use said guns.
The sidekick to me feels very underwhelming. Iāve always preferred the burst guns to single fire but I could live with it as I did in Reach, just it doesnāt feel like 1B to the BR at all, it is definitely a tier below.
Again with the āthereās ranked if you want BR starts!ā. Yeah I know and thatās awesome! However, there are times I donāt want to sweat, but still enjoy playing the game. I dont enjoy AR/sidekick starts (especially in BTB).

I can say Iām the same and went through the same as you through the halo games. Hopefully we can have more game modes. AR starts and BR starts. Hopefully you can play customs when there up and running. Sorry AR starts are not to your liking.
Yeah I hate AR starts. They made that thing OP just to reward bad players. Itās ridiculous how even BTB has no BR start.

No. Literally the best thing about Halo Infinite right now, and only reason why I would rather play it than MCC is the AR starts. Especially in BTB. Being able to actually move around the map without being constantly sniped from the other side of the map makes the game so much more dynamic, and enjoyable. I say they should just add a 8v8 BR starts mode to Ranked for those that want that, and for the love of God leave the rest of the game as it is. Since right now it feels like real Halo is back. The kind I grew up with playing Halo 2, and 3 on launch when AR starts were standard.
āAR starts need to goā
Oh you poor poor foolā¦the wonders an AR swarm with a teammate can do.
This is precisely why myself and my friends will now be playing Rankedā¦unless itās just to warm up or there are more than 4 of us available to play.
AR starts are not only low skilled but itās tediously boring. Iāve also noticed these last few days that server connection plays a massive part of whether or not youāll get the kill or die with an ARā¦where as with a BR you still have the chance to out play your opponent or bail. This is what makes Halo fun for meā¦not being mowed down or mowing someone else down with a mindless automatic rifle.
AR starts are the most boring games ever its just melee and nades whole game
I thought about the AR start being bad as well but I found the solution, get rid of all precision weapons on the map where AR starts is the gametype and make it automatic rifles only. And that bad Pulse Rifle I guess, Lol, as it has no place anywhere else.
That way thereās precision gametypes to kill from afar and automatic rifle gametypes to get up and personal like others like. Problem solved.
That way I donāt sit tight next to the BR, and wait for it to respawn again for more ammo, on BTB EVERY SINGLE GAME. They spawn quick, and Iām useless without one. So I will continue to wait right next to it until I have a lot of ammo. Did they not expect this or something?
Welcome to Halo 1 20 character limit
this is me 100% when i find a spawn i camp it and just shoot from BR spawn

Yeah weapon spawns could use a boost especially on larger games lik BTB and i think ground vehicles could use a spawn time reduction as well.

Iāve been thinking about how commando starts would be in BtB, i suck with it but i really like the gun
I played on Deadlock and High Power yesterday on BTB Slayer and the spawn base we had, had all Cammandoās on both maps. Thankfully it was Slayer and I just swapped spawns to the other base for our whole team and that other base had all BR spawns. It was ridiculous and makes absolutely no sense. How do they expect this to be the next competitive Halo game with this kind of stuff happening.
I prefer Br over the commando i get really annoyed in social where the weapon spawners are random because i run to a spawner for a BR and get a commando.
Since we have BR starts in ranked, Iām fine with it being AR starts in social modes.

Couldnāt agree more. BTB at least needs BR starts. The notion that nobody moves around the map or uses other weapons because of BR starts Is one of the dumbest things Iāve ever heard imo. Never was a problem any any precision start halo game

The AR are CRAP at range, well in the range bracket the BR are meant to be good in ( NOT exclusively ).
The AR dps starts suffering midway over medium and dipping into long range. The recoil makes sure of that to.
I love the BR, the DMR, even getting used to the Commando.
But this whining about the AR actually being near optimal for its role is nothing more than zealot BR fanatics that despise having other weapons being able to kill, even be competive along the BR. They want, need, wish to influence 343 OR ELSE to make the BR be all end all.
If those BR zealots get their wish they might be a tiny bit nice and accept other weapons, but only for stripping shields mind you or to finish of melees. Cant have other weapons take the kill or ELSE its noobish, no skill.
Says the BRZ whose weapons are again HITSCAN. Or extremely fast Projectile.
Hoping for the DMR to return, just to spite those BR zealots. And if we can switch between DMR/ BR in ranked and competive unless specific settings. i would be in love with that. The BR can stay hitscan as long as the DMR have projectile in which you need to lead more, need more skill etc. If DMR have hitscan too, it might outperform the BR unless in closer/ mid range.
