Re: More needler evidence

In Response To: More needler evidence (Rockslider) : Here's additional evidence regarding the needler, which I really should've : included in my opening post. At around 1:50 in the Exclusive movie, : there's a needler being fired at one of two Elites. Those needles are : reaching the Elite almost instantly, travelling way faster than in H1. : I'm well used to taking Elites down with an H1 needler, and it just : doesn't work that speedily. This is quite a different beast we've got. : Modernized not just in sound and appearance, but also in its ability. Looks almost identical (if not identical) in regards to speed, both in terms of rate of fire and projectile velocity. Compare HCEA to HCE. Wouldn't call that "quite a different beast." The supercombine seemed a little anemic, but that could just be the explosion effects being dialed down (not a bright pink pillar of doom). The damage models and splash radius are likely the same. : However, what happens when you toggle to classic mode? Would needler : characteristics revert to being exactly like in H1? I suspect so. In the : Exclusive movie at around 2:37 there's footage of the SC beach landing : getting toggled to classic. Just after the switch, a Grunt fires a needler : and I can see the needles only travelling slowly like in H1. It just wouldn't make much sense to have the guns behave so differently if you can switch between two modes on the fly. Also when the Grunt fires he is far away from the player. That's an ill comparison to a shot of a player shooting a stationary Elite with one almost point blank. Travel times are probably the same, but the distances involved make things look slower or faster.
