Okay you guys, I can understand the point of the suprises killing you in mazes... but why the hell can't you just, you know, scout a head? Like in every level type there is? Open routes up?
This should be possible in any challenge mode apart from AoPC and AoB.
I can understand mazes to be cheap in AoPC, in AoB mazes are however useful level types in early game atleast as enemies get less spread and you can get face to face faster.
You can easily corner shoot those corners in mazes, hell its actually easier than in other level types. You have less spread for enemies. They are easy picking for scouting considering you don't need to shoot in many directions to guess their specific locations.
The amount of cover provided by mazes is enourmous. You can easily always find a safe place to corner shoot.
Only real problem in mazes are mancubi due of the fireing volley bug, but with scouting a head, even they shouldn't be a problem.
I'm gona sound a bit mean; But if mazes kill you in standart game, you're pretty bad at this game, unless the beta has killed the corner shooting complety.
And I'm gona say it again; Caverns are far cheaper and deadlier than mazes will ever be.
