I just hate how BR start games turn into nothing buy everyone using a BR or the combo,it gets stale I must admit.
And that's exactly why I argued against it when leagues started pushin' it. But everybody who came from Halo was just too comfortable with that "crux"-- even for maps that don't need it. Matches become much too monotonous... IMO, the BR-start only belongs on large
open maps like Coagulation, and Containment so that people on foot can have a fighting chance against Snipers. And Colossus, so everybody will have a way to counter the Beam Rifle if the other team gets it.
... I'd say Headlong and Waterworks too, but for Headlong there're a lot of ways to get to your destination fast with plenty of cover on that map. And for Waterworks, BR spawns are quite plentiful, having it as a starting weapon is kinda unnecessary.
What I'm
hoping is that after having time to get accustomed to the changes made with the new update, the BR won't be a starting weapon on every gametype. I don't feel all that vulnerable anymore just starting with an SMG and a few grenades.
[EDIT] - Pre-emptive
STFU SCOOT! BR-start is
bad, 'k? 'k.

I've been ownin' dual wielding opponents with the BR since the update. It's a lot more balanced.
