Ok in te first halo the needler cud be used efficiently and turned into a decent weapon, in halo2 from what i have seen in the demos the rate of fire is increased, do u think thats this means the needles will move faster thru the air or just how fast they come out of the barrel, also will the impact still produce the deadly effective explosions?

from what ive seen the needles move faster, which sacrifices some of the seeking ablilities, and also i think it will take more needles to create the gigantic explosive plumes from halo, cant wait to dual weild

As of e3, needles only explode a little, the move through the air much faster, and do more damage.

Yeah it would take more needles to cause a huge explosion, cause if you notice HOW many he fires from one clip, that's a helluva lot more than 20 in one clip. More ammo and faster fire rate would mean you gotta get more into someone to blow em sky high to keep it balanced, logical.

they originally made it more needles, but then also (from bungie's weekly update from Frankie) lowered the amount again!
