Many feel the need to say how this feature is copying other games, but is that a bad thing?
If you could choose to spawn with either the BR, DMR, or AR would people still complain about starting weapons? I like the idea to an extent, just not sure how it will actually turn out.
If weapons have to be bought, it almost definitely won’t be just for 3 weapons, and I don’t see how it’s possible to balance every weapon for starting with it.
well…
Do I really want ace star player spawning with a DMR? Or would I prefer fighting over the DMR spawn? Fortunately I am ace star player so I’ll do great but noobz will get frustrated and Halo 4 will loose support.
nope

i am one of those noobs lol and yeah i am scared of precisely that. a game where all of the amazing players dont even have to fight for the favourite weapons lol. but we just have to wait and see.
I actually like it that you can spawn with a weapon of choice. I hate AR starts so I will spawn with the BR/DMR every time.

I highly doubt that weapons need to be purchased, but modifications do sadly.
I think it makes for more interesting gameplay when you have to fight over a certain weapon than just spawn with one.
It makes map control more important and not so random.

So long as power weapons aren’t included that sounds awesome.

In a game of Halo 3 where everyone spawns with Battle Rifles, did you ever see anyone fighting over the Carbine? No. you saw them fighting over the Rocket Launcher or the Energy Sword. The same thing will apply here, except you’d be able to choose what “standard” weapon you spawn with. People will still fight over the Rocket Launchers and Sniper Rifles. You can just spawn with a weapon you prefer.

Not every game type will sport the BR as a starter. THAT is when people start fighting over weapons.
That’s my point. When everybody can chose to spawn with a BR/DMR/Carbine or the sorts there will be a lot less weapon charging like in Reach. Other than power weapon grabs, many weapons were left untouched.

In Halo 3 games when people spawned with Assault Rifles, yeah, you’d fight over other weapons because the AR was terrible. But if 343 can balance the weapons well enough it’d work really well I think.

Not denying the AR was bad, but I don’t think the weapons are going to be evenly balanced or what’s the reason for using different guns? Each gun had its own strength and weakness.
I just feel as though the weapons should be on the map, not with you the instant you spawn. It makes the game a little more challenging and fun IMO.
