Arena BR Starts Needs to be Removed

thats low ranked gameplay lol. The mindset of hiding in a corner comes from a person that doesnt know halo very well.

If by dynamic you mean forcing people into melee range spray and prays or just immediately switching to pistols and bolting for the BR anyways and having no counter to power weapons then sure…totally dynamic in an absolutely horrible way.

If they remove BR start the game will die there be other ranked playlist hopefully

Sooooo… stick to quick play?

BR starts are a staple of Halo H5 and is overwhelmingly supported.

Except somebody good with an AR will still beat somebody less good with an AR, especially now. People who spray and pray will not fare well regardless.

But that’s neither here nor there since what we don’t want is BR starts as default in everything else because it kills the sandbox, which is pretty much the core Halo selling point.

With halo you gotta keep moving init, always aim for the head punch after 2 hits from the br

As someone who has played since the release of Halo 3, you’d know that competitive was ALWAYS BR start in H3. I can’t tell if half this new forum is trolling, or people are just that bad at Halo now.

PLease no, Ranked play is the only place I can get away from the insanely strong (overly so) AR and Melee rush combo thats plauging every other playlist except festa

Dude, when you get 100 replies telling you you’re wrong, maybe stop arguing? a waste of your time.

Yea, you’re gonna get teamshot across the map, but you can’t take away the aspect of BR fights from competitive Halo, out BR’ing someone in ranked is what people play for, always has been.

And no one will care when you started playing Halo, I started with Halo CE on launch, would I ever mention that to try and make my opinions more valid? no I wouldn’t, why? because who cares.

Halo 5 mag start is no different than br starts in h2 h3 infinite whatever. The point is your starting with a ranged weapon. 2 weapon starts in ranked is absolutely out of the question. One weapon starts force players to scavenge for a back up to switch to instead of being forced to reload the primary during a fight. Which in turn utilizes the sandbox.

That said if your spawning with 1 weapon it has to be a ranged one. Or you’ll get smoked from spawn by people who have already scavenged a ranged weapon.
Now I can see the argument for a pre nerfed commando spawn. But not in that weapons current state. Brs it is

So being a part of the comp scene, you must have missed the huge rants and complaints about no BR start in H5?

Or did you miss that? Because the comp scene wanted BR starts…so…

No. That’s silly. I don’t even know why people keep having this conversation.

You have lost it if you think BR start needs to be removed from ranked.

I disagree. The ranked settings are the reason it’s the best playlist in my opinion and having the BR as the starting weapon is the best part. As far as not picking up sidekick, you should. It has a faster beat down TTK so it’s better than BR in cqc if you’re in melee range. I agree about the commando though. The nerf after the flights was not needed. They need to revert it.
