Hey Waypoint Static here,
I just wanted to mention AR/Pistol starts in Halo CE gametypes and that I disagree with them. I personally think it should be AR only starts. Spawning with a pistol just makes no sense with its range and how powerful it is.
The argument that it is favored because it is like BR starts just doesn’t fly with me. This is Halo CE, not Halo 2. Halo CE was not designed for LIVE play. Because of this these types of things along with spawns themselves need to be addressed to accommodate with CE now being a LIVE title.
Halo CE with Pistol at spawn literally becomes only Pistol. Sure you could say Sniper, Rocket etc. but honestly it is just one big Pistol spawn trapping fest.
I don’t care if you’re some kind of purist it is only fair and balanced to take out Pistol from spawn. If everyone had AR start the Pistol would be a pickup which is much more fair IMO. Other weapons would become more viable e.g. the shotgun.
So what I want is to remove Pistol from spawn and make it just AR. Pistol will still be in CE but rather as a pickup on map instead.
Do you agree? Answer the poll and post your opinions.
Thanks Waypoint,
Static
LoL, so you aren’t very good with the Pistol is all I hear.
I think you have the same problem 343 has. They’re trying to change a game that’s legendary to fit the style of play that most people who’ve never even played … want.
It was perfect the way it was originally and originally that’s how they had it so it should STAY with an AR/Pistol start.

Why is it always this reason? I’d like to try at starts.
First off, do you even realize how destroyed you would get with just the AR?
How are you going to handle Rockets, Snipers, and Magnums with no range whatsoever?
Going to just spray across Hang em High? First guy to find a Magnum would become a god. No, that is the polar opposite of fair.
Plasma Rifle and Plasma Pistol would be far superior options for a spawn weapon, because they can at least be used at a distance.
In fact, many maps actually do spawn you with a Plasma Pistol if the spawn weapons are set to Custom instead of Generic.
But instead of even considering the other options, you immediately jumped on the AR Starts bandwagon like a typical Waypoint-ian.
Second, there’s nothing wrong with spawning with the Magnum. It only overshadows maybe three weapons of the entire sandbox (i.e. the Needler, PPistol, and AR), and contrary to popular belief sandbox diversity isn’t the most important aspect of the game anyways. Skill and Strategy outrank that, and you’ll be severely lacking in both departments without a viable precision weapon off spawn.

I agree with you. I am no bandwagoner. Please understand that.
As long as they change the AR’s the hit detection then I will be happy. Which it appears they did it for AR and Shotty.
Besides these servers aren’t Dedicated yet so of course Halo: CE is going to suffer for that reason.
I personally love to play CE in MCC. Without actually seeing how AR only starts would be in game a lot of your points are merely speculation. Plus you assumed quite a bit about me which just is not true. Other than that yea I completely agree. All that has to happen is a change in hit detection.
Speaking of hit detection and no dedicated servers, look here at this thread about hitscan Pistol. https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/84ad72a8b51847978545f685f651fc15/topics/mcc-halo-1-pistol-is-now-hitscan/f7b69fcb-818d-43d5-9492-968b8bc5004f/posts?page=1
