I think its great that the needler is now an effective weapon in multiplayer in Halo 2 but I miss the fact that concentrated needles explode. Do you think this is still to be implemented into the game?

In Halo 1 the needler was my favorite gun in single player but in MP it sucked royally. Looking at the E3 2k4 video, the needler looks more like a purply smg.

H2 needler. I too hope they keep the 'sploding, and i hope it tracks better, it was too easy to avoid in H1.

Yay!

it was definetly the anti sonof-blam!- gun for an elite in halo1, but really for nothing else. it should do wonders in halo 2

In all actuallity i do want the new needler but in a more interesting way i kind of wish that the old needler was there because the explosion was such a advantage. Also it was fun because once you got all those needles on you, you knew you were dead and will i get that with the new needler? We shall see.

I have a feeling that the needler is going to replace the pistol in terms of effectiveness. If the new needler fires at the same or near same rate as the smg, the needles track, and they explode, doesn't that make it the most powerful gun.

Im not sure if the Needlers bullets will explode any more. Since the Needlers bullets move at "bullet speed" and track, but I could be wrong bungie might find better ways to balance it out.

Yes i thought that the needler was semi rigged. In a way the needler had slow bullets but actually its explosion was good in solo missions but unless you became skilled with the gun in multiplayer (as i did) it was that great to use.

THe explosion will be there, the needles can tun in sharper angles, and mentioned in a weekly bungie update, you'll need less neeldes for that "Super explosion".

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

.... ANOTHER person with my avatar?!

Anyway, has anything really been said about the "newness" of this new needler? Specifically.

Not sure what u mean but looking at the E3 2k4 video, the needler is very different. And by very I mean somewhat. More like an smg, bullets didn't really explode....

call me crasy but in halo 1 it was funny to see anyone get killed by the needler just because it was suicide useing it unless they don't see you untill you shot them already

No actually getting killed by the needler was common for my enemy. I mean towards the end of june of this year i practiced fist combat. I always win in fist combat. I got so good that i had 12 kills by punching someone to death. The key is rushing them because they get so nervous they try to hit you and you can easily punch them. Like in rockets...what do you think they are going to do? Blow themselves up?

Everything in these goddamn forums are speculation. I have the facts cause I saw the -blam!- video. I -blam!- hate people like you who feel the need to police the forums when its none of your goddamn business.
