In Halo and Halo 2 the needler was terrible! In Halo 3 they improved it to make it bad-ass. My question is will the needler in Halo 3: ODST be bad-ass?!

It's the same engine as halo 3, so it's highly likely.

Edit: Unfortunately it was never good -IMO- in campaign. Except versus Brutes.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

It's funny, I imagine that they will have rebalanced some of the weapons as a few are no longer dual wieldable, but who knows. I woulda guessed that the Needler would stay the same.

EDIT
@Terren_117 - even in Halo 1, it was always the Elite killer. It's funny how things don't seem to change much xD
(Apart from in Halo 2 where it became the "oh gawwd sorry guys I died by Needler" embarrassing death...)

Would you dance for it?

Actually without the Battle Rifle there is a good chance the Needler could become a more useful weapon.

I know it is killer in narrow urban hallways (like Highground) or ALL of ODST.

Huzza!

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

The Halo 2 needler was the best due to the fact it could be dual-weilded, It was compleatly ruind in Halo 3 and will be the same in ODST, due tothe fact that you can stick 20,000 needles in somebody (when it should only take 4-8) and they wont die, also itcan no-longer be dual-weilded

Have you actually PLAYED the first Halo, because without the Needler, I promise you I would never have beat Legendary.

And also, It only takes 7-8 needles to kill in Halo 3.
