I am just curious what made 343 think it was a good idea to not include a team BR/DMR gametype or playlist. In my opinion, it gets very old and seems foolish to forc3 the players to only start with the assault rife and magnum. I personally (and i know I speak for a large population of halo players) hate the assault rifle and think it laks a considerable amout of skill when compared to the Battle rifle, or DMR. I dont mean to rant here, but I didn’t spend Halo 2 untill now (over a decade) practicing my BR skills to just end up being forced to use an assault rifle (which I avoid heavily in every other Halo). I love this franchise and it was my childhood, but it seems like you really dumbed down this halo to appeal to the masses.
. Rotation to include a mix of AR/mag + BR/mag start could work
. Voting for map and/or weapon start
. Halo 4 loadouts gave you the preference to decide what you wanted to spawn with
. I will give H5 credit though - the magnum does take skill to use over Carbine, BR and DMR. After playing too much Division I’ve found it’s a skill I don’t have! Sandbox balancing is pretty fair
Pretty sure the answer is use the pistol. It’s clearly the skill based option, without being so powerful it’s not worth picking up other stuff.
I can’t complain at all about the stock settings, certainly not compared to all the other games where the ar was noticeably worse (h3), the previous pistol wasn’t as good (h3 again) or there were maps where starting with an smg was just awful (h2 on things like foundation).
its called BTB
you aren’t supposed to be able to 4shot someone cross map in mid-large sightlines in a arena setting, and unfortunately the BR and DMR (though DMR takes 5 shots like the pistol) allow for this.
the pistol isn’t as effective in longer range fights, and thus proves to be balanced as the start weapon. Almost every map has a BR, DMR, or Carbine near initial spawn, go pick it up like the mid-tier power weapon it is.
It would be nice
If another playlist
besides BTB
had BR starts
I know of many people who didn’t buy the game or quit after some month (including myself) because there is no BR Starts. This is the worst decision they could have made in my opinion because by doing so they force the players who played all the previous titles away. It’s as if McDonald’s would suddenly remove Big Mac from the Menu and say, here you can have a double Burger it’s also as large as the Big Mac but tastes differently (sorry for the odd comparison but I hope it’s somewhat clear what I mean). I wish they had BR Starts in Slayer and AR/Pistol Starts in Arena because older Halo Games did this, they offered different Gametypes for different preferences like AR/Pistol Starts in Team Slayer and the superior weapon was taken to Team Hardcore. I find it’s good that they improved on the AR/Pistol Start because in Halo 3 it was pretty much useless but removing the other Gametype entirely is really forcing most players away, in addition to the launch of a certain other Halo game which was meant to be for that playerbase cough MCC cough.
People have left because no BR starts outside of BTB? Ok, -Yoink- reason Iv’e heard to date, but ok.

Is that your answer?
If you ever did play a game of br starts in arena you would understand why it isn’t a thing. It’s hella unbalanced.
