Quick question for game equality for 343i

One of the staples of Halo’s matchmaking has been everyone starts with the same basic traits, weapon, grenades, abilities.

My one concern and question is to what extent does the ability to purchase game altering gear/weaponry.

I ask because as I said before, Halo’s always been on equal terms for a beginner to a pro who’s played for 200 hours. They would spawn with equal weapons and gear and I just don’t want that too unbalanced.

Well it was stated that the BR will be unlockable. SO its pretty big. But you wont start off with shotguns i trust.
