Why the mission Securing the Camp was deleted months ago?

I don't know if someone still remember this Prestige Mission starting the game, before going to the Ancient generator mission there was a mission where Rhendon and the player go to an abandoned camp with Retrodes, Gun Puppies and some Dust Bunnies.
The main point of this mission was to use a Proto Bomb against the monsters, but since this bomb is given as reward when you finish Crossing the Chasm I still wonder why OOO deleted this short but nice mission.

I do not expect that some GM reply this, so what do you guys think about it?

The tutorial missions seem to

The tutorial missions seem to be something that the team are constantly refining. My best guess is that in their opinion, new players thought that the tutorial mission was too long and many left before even finishing it. I had no problems with the length but I'm pretty sure there are some people with a shorter attention span (see the percentage of people that have obtained the early steam achievements to see what I mean).

Other than that, I can't think of any other reason. It's probably not because Three Rings hates bombers or anything, right? Right? Back me up on this guys?

Woah, two Sirs.

What Greenlink said. I do wish they re-added bomb support, maybe in the first level where you can only have enough time to grab 2 weapons or something like that, so you have more control over your stuff.

If someone is wondering how

If someone is wondering how the mission was, these are the videos:

You have noticed that Scuttlebots and Gun Puppies were replaced for Dust Bunnies in this mission after the update.

Many players got lost, and the mission introduction was buggy.
Three Rings are probably trying to keep levels that don't end or start on an elevator to a minimum.
