Subject: should bungie bring back duel weildable needlers

No, making the needler a normal weapon again was the best thing they ever did for it.

I'ma beam them up.

It isn't "duel", it's "dual" as in two. Duel means to go 1v1 against somebody. And I don't want to embarrass you in a 1v1, so stop asking.

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

I have never really liked the needler in any of the games, so I don't really care.

No dual-wielding in ODST. "You aren't a Spartan, dumbass."


Of course, you can rip off, pick up and walk around with a turret, which is a feat of strength far surpassing holding two small arms at the same time. Check your logic before you call people names.

I wasn't calling him a name, I was quoting Sketch.

When did he ever say that?

It was an update talking about the playtesters, they asked him why they kept on dying and he replied "You aren't a Spartan, dumbass."

It's been confirmed no dual wielding. And the turret is by speculation, and videos we've seen, only in Firefight.

I would think that would be to powerful considering how your life is cut down if you watch some firefight videos youl understand how a drone with a plasma pistol is a beast lol.

Death to rank junkies.

Halo 3-maybe
ODST-no

  • 07.20.2009 10:08 AM PDT

Maybe they'll have a hot-wiring meta-game.

Anyway, after having extremely annoying and painful experiences with 'meedlers' in H2, I really hope that this doesn't happen. Plus, when bungie switches something up, they tend not to switch it back, especially when ODST's build is as similar as it is to H3.
Not to mention dual wielding needlers looks ridiculous. A spartan with two dinky little purple-pink guns? Weaksauce.

  • 07.20.2009 10:20 AM PDT

lol Title fail, but seriously,
1. this is a prelude, things may/may not be the same as Halo 2/3
2. You are not a spartan and cant do so anyway

  • 07.20.2009 10:39 AM PDT

you cant only the spartans could dual wield anything like plasma rifles also the needler is so OP in halo 3 becuase it explodes if you dual wield it then it will go back to non explosive needles or not as powerful needles...also in ODST you shouldnt even be able to use covenant weapons in the first place becuase they dont even learn how to till about halfway through the war...

  • 07.20.2009 10:45 AM PDT

Dual needles in H2 was awesome. and i know odsts can't dual wield but it doesn't make sense why not.

  • 07.20.2009 10:54 AM PDT

No, because they are still Halo 3 Needlers, and your an ODST. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers do not Dual Wield weapons.

Depends, if they were weaker like the Halo 2 Needlers, then yes. If they were stronger like the Halo 3 Needlers, then no.

1 Needler is powerful enough.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I was playing through Halo 3 on Heroic today. After oblitering a Brute and a swarm of Grunts with one needler explosion, no. It's too powerful.

Besides, there won't be any dual-wielding in Halo 3.

That's JUST for Firefight.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

The Needler was a piece of crud in Halo 2 because of dual wielding. The Halo 3 Needler is awesome because you can't dual wield it.

You also dont remeber the Needler is powerfull enough alone, right -Blam!-Blam?

But they can hold turrets and hammers so what sense does that make?

  • 07.20.2009 1:01 PM PDT

I dont think hes talking about campaign I remember in one of the original Halo3 gameplay trailors they had dual needlers.

But I think no because needlers are already overpowered

what the crap is a meedler

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Mine has two separate levels of zoom: 'Up-close-and-personal' and 'Hello-you're-dead'.

First of all, did you miss the ""? He's quoting someone from Bungie.

So what if you can walk around with a turret, you still can't dual-wield any weapon.

A slight ‘’incident’’ has occurred in the forum. Me and Random have both been banned by myself. Which is annoying? Hopefully this is fixable? PLZ? Random is becoming angry.
