Please note this would be for competitive playlists only. I’m still hoping that they have AR starts in casual playlists.
BR, and not because I like it but it’s the most well rounded in terms of range.
Both?
BR starts, and remove DMR from the game. Too similar.

Have you even played Halo 5?
Br starts.
Dmr is a close second.
I use to love BR starts but now I wonder if it is a good thing to start everyone with the best non power weapon in the game. I feel like it should be a gun that is competed for on the map. Give me ARs/magnums or hell even SMG/magnums.
DMR easily, don’t need that burst training wheel gun.

My profile right in front of you shows that I have in fact played…
We don’t need another precision, mid-ranged weapon that kills in a few shots. We have enough of them.
Neither. DMR Starts would be awful, and BR Starts have gotten over-played and boring. I’d rather stick to AR Starts for competitive, it’s more fun that way.
The DMR is a campaign weapon to me, great for AI but in MP it feels less useful some how.

Where have you been in the Halo gamedom? =p There was always that one weapon in all of them.

gotta say I agree. Very close second.

DMR is long-range, not mid-range.
AR starts, ALWAYS
The Pistol is conceptually the same as the DMR, just designed better.
Of the two listed it’s a hard decision. The Battle Rifle in its current state makes headshots too easy, while the DMR has issues with balance at range.
In my opinion starting with either of these weapons would eliminate the need to pick up any other weapons on the map. I didn’t like the week of the beta which had BR starts, the new assault rifle and mobility options take away that which people hated most about AR/SMG starts. (failing to gain control of the precision weapons and then being spawn killed or being unable to move)
I would definitely want AR starts but if 343 dropped this choice in my lap I would have to say the BR even though I have a strong sexual I mean emotional, I mean… Let me just start over. I have taken a strong liking to the DMR over the years that we have had it. I have even said that I wouldn’t mind if the BR was replaced with the DMR.
The reason I chose the BR is because it has more versatility and the 4 shot is quicker than the 5 shot. The BR has more dynamic gameplay if everyone started with it because you can still move around the map, very much unlike the DMR which would be practically an inconvenient sniper on smaller maps and if the TTK is that high then very little kills will be obtained and the gamplay will be slowed.
Overall, I definitely choose the Assault Rifle because it makes the game a little more strategical. Players have to run for weapons like the BR or the DMR OR they can be more aggressive and charge the enemy base with their close-mid range automatic weapon. It would make the game generally more fun to play and watch.
AR of course
