Why in the hell wouldn’t there already be a BR start play list? After 10 years of people saying the AR is OP and crap and hate to brake it to you but spraying a gun and hoping you hit someone requires absolutely no skill. You also spawn with an extreme disadvantage. I’m 100% I speak for ever other experienced novice Halo player when I say, please fix that problem… This game was built on its conpetative addiction… AR symbols noob and boring…

An experienced novice is an oxymoron.
Lmao… You’re right… You get what I mean though don’t you…
Its just the first week and I highly doubt these are the only playlists we will see.
That being said BR starts please because Halo is my reason.
Thanks 343
They did say they will be adding other playlists in good time, they just want to have a small set of playlists atm so players get familiar with the maps and setup

Halo CE - Magnum(God tier), AR(Bad) - If you know how to use the magnum it’s perfect, a few broken power weps
Halo 2 - SMG(Bad), With BR starts it was perfect, very few broken/useless/op weapons/combos, noob combo was garb
Halo 3 - AR(Decent, fun to use but too much melee) -Broken BR and AR, broken and clunkly game is broken
Halo Reach - Varies, DMR was great, a few underpowered and useless weapons though
Halo 4- Varies(You Choose, too much bullet magnetism, a TINY BIT broken) - many useless weapons, no balance
Halo 5- Magnum(Balanced), AR (Balanced) - Perfect game, everything is useful.
Halo 5 doesn’t need BR starts, you’re just bad with the magnum.
My main tool of destruction is currently the BR - FYI
I agree that there should be a team BRs gametype in rotation.
10 years of people saying the AR is OP lol? You spawn with a pistol too you know. That should be your go to weapon off spawn the pistol is your new utility weapon.
I like the weapons, but it’s just not for a start… Battle Rifles and DMRs shouldn’t have to be rushed like rockets lol…

Yes
It would be nice to see BR at the start so til then I’m rocking my pistol!
I can use the pistol fine, but I haven’t once been taken out when I have a br vs pistol fight. It’s a perfect and classic way to start a match somethings just shouldn’t be changed. I only played MLG mainly so I guess this is where the BR frustration sets in 
I think the pistol/AR start is REALLY nice, and I say this as a BR guy.
Competitive Halo is about map control. There are BRs (and DMRs, needlers, snipers, rockets, etc.) on a lot of maps. Pistols are skill weapons, so skillful players can still win.
If you want to do some custom games w/BR starts, go right ahead. I personally think it’s unnecessary. I think it’s just about perfect in fact.

I know that, but a pistol will never take a BRs place. Nor should they try pushing it, just keep it classic.
They will be put in soon my friend no worries! (:

The only underpowered/useless weapons in Reach are the Spiker and plasma repeater. More so the Plasma repeater being just useless. H4 everything was useful, but easy to aim. Don’t know how H5’s aiming is, but all the weapons do look useful I’d agree.
Give it some time. Let people get used to the game. They will add a play list in due time

BR starts were popular back in Halo 2 & 3 because all other weapons were too weak. If one team had all BRs and the other had only SMGs, the SMG team would get wrecked. Now all weapons have been improved, and an AR user can take down a BR user but the BR is still the dominant weapon. Having AR starts means that you have a fighting chance, but there are still other weapons that you could do better with if you search for them. Starting with BRs removes that incentive to move around and look for new weapons because you already have the best weapon in your hands. There’s also the fact that if everyone has a BR the chances of getting gunned down from afar are much higher, so players will stick close to cover and not move around much, almost like camping. It may not be as powerful as a sniper rifle, but it is undoubtedly the most useful weapon in the game. It also makes death a lesser penalty, because normally you would lose the advantage of having the BR but if you start with one by default, dying doesn’t really matter.
This is what Halo is all about, fighting for the advantage. The BR undeniably gives players a big advantage by means of having a well-rounded ranged weapon.
