[quote]Starting with whatever gun you choose is not unbalanced. Sure, you can start with a sniper rifle, but anything thats not a SMG, Pistol, or Shotgun can kill snipers quite easily. The only advantage the sniper rifle has is that it can see targets at range easier. But if you know where the sniper is at (which is quite easy in most games), you can take him down really easy in CoD. [/quote] im sorry to say this but you are an idiot.... stop comparing this game to COD, call of duty is STUPID and bungie knows this so they are not making it like cod. halo is such a completely different game they dont even come close....and starting with whatever gun you want is unbalanced in halo it doesnt -blam!- ing matter if its balanced in COD or not it will not work for this game. and would you people stop saying they will be like perks! they said it will be like equipment in halo 3 that you pick up
