*A popular and good but frowned upon strategy is to enter the teleporter that leads to an alcove that is only reachable through the teleporter. As you exit the teleporter, backpedal and you can hide inside the teleporter, thus, you can sneak attack any enemy that comes through, they will never know where it came from. This works great with a shotgun. There are only two ways to counter this: throw grenades as you walk backwards through the teleporter, or on occasion throw a frag grenade from the ground below, killing him without exposing yourself. | *A popular and good but frowned upon strategy is to enter the teleporter that leads to an alcove that is only reachable through the teleporter.

*The sheer number of teleporters historically encouraged camping and repetitive gameplay; this left Chiron with a somewhat poor reputation in the community and especially Bungie itself. During development of the next two games, Bungie staff repeatedly referenced a fictional map called "Chiron TL-35," joking that they were going to remake Chiron TL-34 instead of remaking other, more popular maps. | *The sheer number of teleporters historically encouraged camping and repetitive gameplay; this left Chiron with a somewhat poor reputation in the community and especially Bungie itself.
