== Matchmaking Adjustments== | |||
For reasons not yet disclosed by [[Bungie]], this map has been slightly altered when playing in [[Matchmaking]] playlists. The [[Mauler]]s that spawned at the top of the purple lifts have been removed. | |||
It is believed that this change was caused by near-constant complaints regarding the large number of [[Mauler]]s in many levels combined with the [[Mauler]]'s ability to nearly-instantly kill an opponent at very close range. Many people felt that the weapon was unbalanced because of the close-quarters prowess of the [[Mauler]], especially in CQB-style levels; this is a misconception. | |||
The problem was a combination of the somewhat large number of [[Mauler]] spawn locations, the fast recharge time on a lethal close-combat weapon, and players not changing their play style to compensate for a number of [[camping]] and / or charging [[Mauler]] wielders. | |||
