Subject: The light in Swordbase Multiplayer

Has anyone noticed that sometimes the High Vent, that black hole you can snipe from in the very top of the Swordbase map, is randomly lit up as if a light has been turned on? I'm refering to when you play Swordbase in multiplayer. Sometimes the vent is dark and other times it's well lit as if someone turned on the lights. It doesn't seem to be specific to a game type. Does anyone know why this is? Is there a switch to turn the lights on and off?

I've never noticed anything like that but I'm going to be looking.
P.S This belongs in the Reach forum.

We should know better, because we are better.

It happens on other maps too like Atom or Asylum where there is forgeable light.
If your are playing with a guest Bungie turns off the lights to save bandwith or something. They mentioned it in a weekly update way back after Sandbox came out.

Now would you kindly go to Ryan's office and kill that son of a -blam!-?

It has to do with draw distance, when you're further away from an object it renders it with lower quality.
