Just make it a variant or a separate playlist. AR starts are horrible, and not everyone wants to do ranked for that kind of experience.

I think BR starts are horrible, but I agree. Make BR and AR separate. BR starts is why I stay away from ranked.

Match composer was the perfect solution to this. Don’t know why it was left out of Infinite after being in MCC.

AR starts + Infinite’s insanely OP radar is honestly why I dislike everything but LSS and Ranked.

The social hopper system really should come to this game. The way it allows for multiple game type searching and first to fill is played, is amazing

What if they make the gun you want more accessible in-game?
Like for instance, if the specific match is AR starts, then allow more BRs to spawn in-game so players can switch to their preferred weapon and vice versa.
Personally, I don’t see an issue with it being a 50/50 split between BR and AR start, but maybe with guns being a more reliable pick-up in-game, it can alleviate the issue for others. Right now as it is, weapon racks can have alternate weapon spawns sometimes.

I do agree with you, where making the BR more accessible would alleviate the problem but the main contention still lingers, some players want to start with BR starts and not bother with AR + sidekick loadouts in a social playlist. The solution may even more problems. If the BR is made more accessible in current AR playlists, how would the audience that enjoys current AR loadouts react? Meanwhile, the players who do prefer BR starts still aren’t satisfied because they don’t start with the BR.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy both BR & AR Loadouts, but It’ll just be easier to implement a separate playlist for both of these polarizing players. Both sides are satisfied while none of the playlists they currently enjoyed are aggravated with new changes.
You know, now that I think of it, why isn’t there a BR/AR start instead like how Halo 3 used to have?

The whole idea here is that BR starts drastically change everything. From the flow of gameplay to the map usage, etc. It’s very different.
I second this. AR starts are supreme. Down with BR starts.
true, i would say ar/sk is more balanced but br only is more interesting. Both have issues.
however ar/sk is terrible on behemoth and launch site. medium range weapons like the ar and sidekick should be pick ups. Need to start with a close range weapon and long range weapon so that there is less melting at medium range so that players can also enjoy the other weapons.

AR starts is nearly unplayable with how frustrating and poorly thought out it is, and I’m blown away every time someone disagrees with that sentence.
I played 5 Ranked games yesterday and they were all slayer… no obj. based game modes came up for me. About to give it another go shortly…
Agreed both have their places. I wish the Commando was buffed so it was the replacement of AR/Sidekick on Behemoth and BTB. Catalyst is fine to me.
But all I want is for the sweaty BR matches to stay in ranked, and for the casual AR stuff to stay in social. Each has the same modes, it just personal preference on which to play.
Sadly that isn’t what they did.
Keep AR and BR slayer in a the slayer playlist. Add swords slayer, banished slayer, and other slayer variants. I don’t like just having 1 variant in a playlist. I’d rather they have the weapon racks on the maps be set to specific weapons instead of rolling the dice each match on what weapons are available for pick up.
i meant to write launch site, not catalyst
