ive had this idea for the longest time, and i just wanted to see what everyone else thought. it has to do with the needler, and goes something like this.
when you melee someone with the needler, all the remaining needles should get stuck in the guy you're hitting. which might hurt you a bit because of the resulting explosion, but c'mon. how awesome would that be? and what about in halo2 where there is going to be dual wielding AND multi-hit combo's? that's 40 whopping needles you can pound into someone's @ss. let me know what you guys think...maybe the people at bungie will listen too.

The part about meleeing someone and the needles stick in them would be bad ass.

maybe the needler could get damaged from having the needles pull out. It would be great t ohave destrucutible weapons in halo 2.
See someone running for a rocket launcher? Fire some plasma and melt it into molten crap

im needler lover CaseyRyback! lol. it would be awesome if the needler did that! it was already the only weapon i used on elites in Halo 1,but if it did THAT in Halo 2 i doubt the brutes would be problem (c'mon,20 needles. not to mention the duel weilding...) and in one of the weekly updates it said that they have beefed up the needler so i know ill be using it!

being able to melt weapons with plasma sounds like a pretty damn cool idea, too. it might get kind of old if someone just keeps melting all the weapons in the level though. i like it though.

i too love the needler and i like using it to blow up elites and the remaining grenades in the blast radius and make a big explosion...DROOL.... BIG EXPLOSION!

I think thats a great idea, me and a couple of my friends who play Halo, were actually talking about this. If ten needles stuck in though, and you were close to the target and the needles imploded...what kinda damage would you take ?

The needler has always been my favorite weapon, Heck i'd throw down a rocket launcher for it. Me and my friend where discussing this same exact thing yesterday when I told him about duel wield juiced up needlers. maybe 3 or 4 needle would come off and parts of the needle would be stuck in him after they explode? I heard about destructible armor MAYBE, just picture a guy running around with a bunch of needles in his face because someone smacked him in the face with a needler :).

man, i almost wouldn't care about how much damage you would receive from being in the proximity of the resultant explosion. but maybe they could incorporate some sort of "knockdown" feature when you get rocked by melee attacks/explosions. then it would just be a matter of hauling a$$ before it blows.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

The melting weapons would completely change the dynamic of the game. Just think of it, it would make plasma rifle own all. So even though it sounds cool I think it wouldn't work.

I guess that would make sense, if you did knock down your opponent. Then he would be bouncing around with needles stuck in his face as you stand above him and laugh your ass off at him!
As for the melting weapons, it would make plasma weapons the ultimate weapon to use, and there would be no need for human weapons, so i as well dont think it would work.

Its a brilliant idea certainly. But i also agree with Shadow Claw , only about 5-10 needles should stick in per needler so that if that doesn't kill them in one go you pump some more into them the ordinary way. this idea is definately B@d@ss!!!!!!?!!!
