: Anyway, as for the needler, yes that was a frustrating watch, with the
: needler only occasionally making someone go bang. Some of that may've
: been to do with enemy evasion behaviour, which I assume is dialled up to
: the max on Legendary, but I did get the sense that your needler was only
: vaguely locking on, and even then, things were bad.

The enemy evasion behaviour does seem to ramp up more with the higher difficulties. I find it rather annoying.

: Also very striking was the near total lack of aesthetics on the sound front.
: The auto-firing sounds crudely industrial, in contrast to the silky-smooth
: ftt-ftt-ftt of the original. And whereas the H1 bang is gloriously
: satisfying and often doubles-up or even triples-up, here it seems like an
: unremarkable muted bang, and I'm not sure I saw a single double, let
: alone a triple.

: Well, here's hoping someone comes up with a mod for you that restores
: something like the original needling experience. Meanwhile you might enjoy
: my next instalment on the rockslide megabattling front, possibly coming
: out today, as it's going to feature a lot of needling!

For the most part, I enjoy the new game. If I could get the official modding tools, I would attempt a fix for the needler. I always enjoy your videos.
