I’m not sure I’ll need a full-on flame suit, so I’ll keep it on standby and just use these potholders for now.
It seems people feel very strongly that DMR starts are better than AR starts. Rather than debate the differences, what if… now hear me out… when you have DMR starts, you place assault rifles in the places where the DMR is an on-map weapon on AR starts?
I say this because the AR can crush the DMR at close range. Granted, it’s not a sure thing, and its usefulness is limited, but there are situations where the AR can chew up someone wielding a DMR.
I also suggest this because the AR feels really good to shoot. For some reason it feels very visceral and angry and mean in a way that the DMR doesn’t. It feels like a big step up from Halo 3’s AR, which felt dampened or silenced somehow. That might not be totally relevant, so whatev.
Point being: would it hurt gameplay to have a few ARs scattered around? I don’t think so!
Thoughts?
How about we spawn with both DMRs and ARs?

How about we spawn with the entire weapon sandbox?

Problem Solved.

Yea, I actually prefer DMR/AR starts.
I say there actually be ARs on map reguardless so this wou;dn’t be a propblem in the 1st place? I mean its a good idea but since there are gametype’s where you don’t spawn w/ ARs they should be one map. Maybe this could be applied for any non AR start gametype.
The AR is a niche weapon, and unfortunately niche weapons are often ignored when walked by. Granted, some people pick them up, but most fellows out there will just head to the closest power weapon when they need to arm up. A much better solution would be to spawn with an Assault Rifle and a DMR. And maybe in the more extreme and wild gametypes, you could choose either a DMR/AR loadout or a DMR/PR loadout.

That’s actually a REALLY GOOD IDEA
why?
I play on splitscreen with my missus.
I like DMR
she likes AR
Same goes with people in your party…why pick a horrible map just because you have a DMR?
additionally
why pick an awesome map if you want a DMR?
