The game will look the same to all of us when it returns, but rest assured changes were made behind the scenes. Bungie will be able to implement its new patch "later this week", which is bringing a host of changes leading up to the House of Wolves expansion.
One major change is the introduction of matchmaking to Heroic Weekly Strikes, which you can read more about here. Additionally, the patch is going to change around quite a few weapon attributes. Pulse Rifles are the main beneficiaries, getting a much-needed power boost, while Auto Rifles will become less effective at range (boooo). Stay tuned for a specific release date for the update.
