An idea for the new, pumped-up Needler (instead of making it just take away more life): Maybe make it so that when the needles first come in contact with your skin, you become stunned and unable to move. The amount of needles that contact your body determine how stunned you become. For example, if someone unloads a whole clip of them on you, you wouldn't be able to move at all. However, if the person/alien only hits you with, say, 10, you slow down a bit. Then, of course, when the needles sink into your flesh, they explode, giving off the normal amount of damage a Needler usually does.

This would certainly add a new aspect to the game. If the needles you unload on someone don't kill them completely, maybe it slowed them down enough so that you can shoot more at them and finish them off.... I don't know, just a thought.

It would be cool if after the needles bounced off an object they could still track. You could shoot people around corners!

Alex is right... have you seen the new firing rate... holy crap... the needles come out almost as fast as the SMG tosses bullets.

Where, on the 2004 E3 vid? I think I'll watch it again, I didn't really pay attention to that....
