What? Are you MAD? OK, let's compare the hardest areas shall we? In the PoA, the first "hard" area is the same as the first "hard" area on The Maw, and this would be the cafeteria. Now, on the PoA, the cafeteria is a sinch. Kill the Grunt, let Elites become distracted, melee in back. Turn to right, pop off Grunts with pistol, finish off Elites with plasma fire and melees. Now, on The Maw, it goes like this, kill off two Hunters, pop off Grunts, try to kill black ops boy, whose aim happens to be perfect. After killing him, you have to kill two of his buddies, who also have flawless aim, and manage to kill a few more Grunts too. Now, using my statistics here, one black ops Elite should be able to easily take out three blue Elites, so essentially that part of The Maw is a lot harder.
Now, the other area on the PoA is the landing. Now, I don't know about you, but I'd say it's a lot easier than the engine room on The Maw. I mean, engine room gives you infinite waves of Flood and Sentinals, landing above us gives you an overshield and marine support. Yeah, the Maw takes a lot longer too and it has that run at the end. Although the run is pretty easy, how many times have you done it without taking any damage at all? When I do it, my shields usually go down once. In fact, my shields go down a ton in The Maw and almost never in the PoA. So, I'll have to say The Maw is a lot harder.
As if either of them are actually hard.
Exactly.
