Since the needler is duel-wieldable and seemed to fire a little bit faster, then will there be different degrees of explosion based on the needle count in an enemies body? because you should be able to put about double the amount of needles in an enemy when duel-wielding right?

Yes, like in Halo 1 they cause mass explosions, but Bungie said the due to the needlers update, the needles explode after 1 second of hitting and are faster in mid air, hence the max you can get in someone before the 1st explodes is around 5, so unless you've got 4 peeps duel wielding at that person, no mass explosions like in Halo CE.

[color=yellow]I cant help but notice that in the e3 2004 demo there seemed to be instant hits then a delayed effect(shards catching up?). Is this two stage damage? Aslo why did'nt the elite blow up?[/color]
