BR starts are agony

And I thought H2, H3, Reach, H4 and H2A BR/DMR starts were bad. H5G with BR starts is a whole new level of suffering and frustration. The skill gap that was from here to the moon has now shot out well beyond Alpha Centauri.

Are newer players really finding it that hard ? I’ve noticed its harder to aim in this game but its not that big of a difference imo.

Wait so you are complaining because BR starts make the game more skillful than the AR starts?

And FYI in Halo 5 there will be AR starts and BR starts so why complain? We are going to have both obviously

Yeah I don’t like it, I’ve never been fond of that gun to begin with but for now just gotta deal with it.

WTF is Alpha Centauri?
also…
GIVE REASONS WHY YOU THINK THERE IS NO/TOO MUCH (yea I can’t tell) SKILL!

It’s nice to get in the practice, but I prefer AR starts and picking a BR up on the map.

i find the pistol more useful.

The two games I played earlier were not that bad with BR starts. Then again I was playing on Eden and regret.

I dont see the problem. It takes all of 5 seconds to find another weapon if you don’t want your BR. It’s not like Halo 5 is some steaming unbalanced pile where you can’t be effective with other weapons. :wink:

Geez the gun that requires skill to use needs to go bc I’m not good with it I prefer AR where I can just point and get kills like cod

Alpha Centauri is the star system closest to us. It is 4 light years away.

The pistol is a beast. Love it.

I love playing with all the weapons. It’s so refreshing!

I wouldn’t blame the BR starts as much as the beta matchmaking. I personally love the BR starts.

BR starts just aren’t fun 99% of the time for me. Everyone goes “matrix” bullet dodging with BR starts while landing every round perfectly in my Spartan’s visor. It’s also a little more drastic in H5G since it has more movement capacity then any Halo before it. A lot of times BR starts discourage player movement and everyone stagnates in one area since you get cross mapped if outside the “safe” areas.

AR starts are better

Well I’ve only been playing BR starts on Eden so far and that map is plenty big enough for player movement despite the precision starts. Only map I have found so far that discourages player movement is Empire and that’s more due to the 2 sniper spawns. The BR isn’t really even that effective at long range. That’s where I would be more worried about DMRs, Lightrifles and Snipers.

Is it just me or are the same people complaining about BR starts the same people who are defending the AR?
