: I don't see how anybody thinks SMG start is balanced. To me it's just
: obvious after playing Team Slayer on Ascension or Warlock. It's whoever
: has the better weapon, which is why we need BR start. The BR is the
: equiliser, just like the pistol.

I guess only the strong survive, and you're dying out.

Knowing how to use the SMG and knowing the maps is the great equalizer. Here's a tip for Ascension. No matter what you're playing, you have equal oppurtunity for the sniper rifle. Even with the battle rifle, you won't do well if you don't know basic strategies.

Here's a really easy one. Don't strand around and let your opponents get into tactical positions with excellent weapons. If you let that happen, you deserve to lose.

: I have a bad feeling about Backwash... SMG start with no starting grenades
: ... wtf... On a small map where duel wielding will win (which doesn't take
: much skill anyway). Hey! Let's spawn near a duel wielder and have no
: chance of winning the firefight! And don't say about melee, because any
: duel wielder that's not stupid will stay right out of melee range.

You know, with the way you sound, why did Bungie put a melee option in Halo or Halo 2? It's obvious people like you are just too smart to ever have someone within 3 meters of you.

: To me, Halo 2 is an unbalanced game, and I don't see why anybody really
: enjoys SMG start over BR start.

To me, you sound like you just miss Halo's pistol. You bought Halo 2 expecting your skill to transfer so you could be the God of matchmaking in 3 days. Then, you were disappointed to find out this was a sequel rather than an expansion pack.
