: Sounds like there's an interesting video to be made about all this, comparing
: old to new (ideally in similar situations).

: And humour perhaps? Do you get paired lines from the Grunts, like "Back
: me up" / "I'm with you"?

Definitely the humor. I've only heard a handful of grunt lines. I've heard "I'm with you" and "I'll bite your kneecaps off". I'll look into the audio settings to see if maybe I need to adjust something to make the dialogue stand out during encounters. Although, I doubt changing an audio setting would change how the dialogue is triggered!

I think the best map for a video showing the Needler is the Halo map and the various encounter you've shown in your recent videos. Lots of open space and engagements to test my observations with the new Needler.
