And it is a hell that is subject to patches.
One such update has nerfed a bunch of weapons including the popular quasar cannon.
And when there are fewer players, “the bigger the change”.

If you’re in a team of four, there will be no difference.
Perhaps Arrowhead also wanted folks to party up with each other through matchmaking?
Either way, I can see folks being a bit disgruntled with this change.

There’s also been “minor level generation improvements”, in how locations are distributed across maps.
I hate those guys.
