Even with all of the new game mechanics, I still find BR starts a hell of a lot more fun. Given the overpowered assault rifle I would like in the final game (assuming the AR is still just as powerful) to see BR-only starts like there is in the beta, otherwise most people will just switch to the AR as soon as they spawn anyway.
Just like the BR is a pickup in AR gametypes, the AR should be a pickup in BR gametypes.
Who’s with me?
