spawn you with a mid range weapon.
For too long we have spawned with a close range and hopelessly inadequate weapon with which to defend ourselves.
For low levels of gameplay this is fine as no one in the game is good enough to take advantage of the inherent issues with it. For high levels it plays like -Yoink- because you either wait to get a weapon which does something, or you die to someone who has one.
I never want to see SMG/AR starts again. Ever. They are a scourge of Halo and need to die.
