nice idea YO but the look of it just doesnt fit...I could draw one for you but im not sure how to put that sort of stuff onto my computer, but even if you do tell me how to it might not be a better idea so whatever its your choice...

I think the concept art is garbage but the weapon idea is super good

Terrible concept and horrid art work. Just garbage...



Awful personality and communication skills.

You know how awesome that needler mortar would be? very!

  • 09.24.2009 7:30 PM PDT

I might consider the possibility that instead of making the enemy more vulnerable to damage by needlers, it improved the homing ability of needles to that target, essentially painting them so the needles can hit them around corners, or hit them when they lose a lock on other targets.

You won't be t-bagging when I spring back to life as a zombie suddenly...

I would love to use it. I'd love to see it used on my enemies.

I'd REALLY hate to run from it though. Awesome idea though, I personally think Halo could use a few new weapons. And this definitely (if it were to ark like a mortar shell EX: Wraith) add some tension to the game.

Hope it makes it... and Relic *REHASH* Makes it to H3o Multi-Player.

Well know we know the new noob combo. Needler + Needler Mortar. It seems to me that this would make owning a whole team a one man job.


Because every noob will be able to get both weapons, and use them to great effect, right? Wrong. In practice, anyone holding either weapon would become a priority one target, much like the sword-wielder was in Halo 2. For fear that The player has assembled both pieces of the puzzle, the other players would instantly destroy him, to prevent him from killing them all. This would make actually getting both weapons rather difficult, as it would require effort and teamwork to assemble; with the other team trying to stop them. In addition, you assume the enemy would wait like sitting ducks while being shot at. This is simply not the case, as everyone's first instinct when faced with this weapon would be to split up and get out of the potential blast radius. So you see, it would take a skilled team to effectively use this weapon, as a lone man would never be able to accomplish it.

The wraith has one. You just make a reticule that has markers on the way down, and the further away the higher you aim.


It's a great idea. I'd be interested in trying to make some 3d concept art later, if you want...maybe one based off your friend's current concept (which is hardly as bad as people think, but definitely not amazing), and one that looked a bit different. Maybe a few more variations.

  • 09.24.2009 11:40 PM PDT

"Belive me, or what'cha see is what'cha get."

The wraith is fine cause it has the 3rd person view and its huge screen, but the fact that the reticule would mess it up if your trying to flank somebody over a wall.

Tell me one reason why you think mist wouldn't blow in the wind.

Also, it wouldn't mess up. Not too many people are stupid enough to shoot what is essentially a giant marker for a specific weapon at an enemy who your allies are nowhere near. I mean, if you tried to shoot it over a wall rather than in front of the person when they were nearer your needler carries, you deserve to fail.

And that's why noobs couldn't kill everyone with the weapon, they'd be too busy trying to shoot it over a wall :P Just kidding, It would be intentionally mortar like (in this concept) to add to the difficulty of firing the weapon, and to tone down it's overpowered-ness.You get the idea.

Updated with a new design, a 3D model designed by llamalizard. Great contribution!

  • 09.27.2009 12:00 AM PDT

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Perhaps it could mimic real life mortar weapons and be a mounted weapon?

I'm diggin' the idea and the concept art. It looks like something the Covenant would have conceived for Grunt use.

Its awesome. The problem is:

1 Its HALO! Do you really expect anyone that plays Halo regularly to use teamwork or pick up a weapon that wont get them a kill but instead grants someone else a kill?

2 MLG is about the BR. The map is SUPPOSED to be filled with BRs.

The idea is great dont get me wrong but it will be severely under-used if put it the game.

HOWEVER, theres a chance that IF the multiplayer in Reach is not the same old run-and-gun then this idea would be great.

Thanks for your input, allow me to address your problems.

1. There must be people out there would grant another player a kill, otherwise who would drive the warthog :P? Actually, I happen to be an expert warthog driver myself, and wouldn't hesitate to take driver over gunner any day. But i'm getting off topic here so to answer your problem, a simple solution would be to get a medal, much like a driving assist, that would compensate for the "loss" of a kill.

2. That doesn't mean I have to like it :P. But seriously, some variety for MLG maps would be nice, and this is just the thing. We are entering a new age, one of desperate needler-scrambles, the likes of which have never been seen before!

A needler Mortar. No I'm sorry.
If you ever played with the needler you know that the needle will follow the target(9-10 times). So a mortar will not be realistisc in the way a needler works.

Maaaan, i came in hear so ready to shoot you down and dislike this idea. Too bad it sounds really freaking cool.
