I definitely think it's cool, but a needler turret would be way too powerful to ever be used in multiplayer.

the idea sound very good, i can only find one problem with your design. For a covenant weapon is way to sharp cornered.

but its a good ideas.

here is my version of it, it has two shooting modes.
the first one is a Crystal bomb that on impact it explodes in all direction, the damage radius should be the same as the rocket launcher but its trajectory is curved. the second is the covenant equivalent to the spartan laser. it does not over heat but damage is stronger the closer the target is to the source. example. the laser does more damage to a target at medium range than it does to a target at a much greater distance.

hopefully i explained myself well here is a drawing

AWESOME!! but there is already a gaint needler...

I aggree, halo needs a gernade launcher after the brute shot was weakend.

I whould love to see a brute sniper. maybie a crossbow mixed with torture device, with bunch of chains and spikes.

Good, friendly, violent fun.

Wow. This has clearly been thought about to some considerable degree by the OP. Nice one!!

I'm loving the idea of a massive needler type arrangement.

Very cool concept, it defiantly fit's the covenant's design scheme. A bunch of people have asked me about dual-firing modes, and I probably would not put that in, the reason being: Isn't it complicated enough already? All of the guns in Halo are of the point and shoot variety, so that the spartan laser was considered "unique" because it had a charge time. I'm not saying that alternate firing modes wouldn't be cool (yours sure would be) but don't you think that it's a bit much to tack onto a single weapon? (what with all the other effects it has as well)

My brother and I had an idea back in the days of Halo 2 for a new grenade. It's a needler 'nade. It'd be good for cleaning out rooms.

It would work as a normal grenade, obviously, in that you have to throw it. It would have a 3 second fuse the explode needles everywhere. They would bounce about for a while attaching to targets, friendly and enemy.

We thought of the grenade while playing on Coagulation. Just drop it in the top and let her rip... :D

If we had one of those nades, then the spike grenade would be near useless. Why have a grenade that fires spikes in one direction when you can have a grenade that fires in all directions is probably what the players will think.

I would've just had a bouncing grenade that had very, VERY mild homing and exploded into a needler explosion. That could be interesting, because in places like Coag. or Beaver Creek you could just chuck it through the roof and hope to hit something.

it'd bounce three times before coming to rest. if a player came within a particular distance of it, it would bounce in their general direction - not necessarily at them, and easy enough to dodge, but TOWARD them.

Sure a weapon with two shooting modes seems sort of over powered, but remember the primary shooting mode has a curved trajectory. Like the wraith plasma cannon. its more like a tactical weapon.
and the laser mode is not effective if the target is far away so finishing a kill like that would be a great task.

I always thought it be cool to get a brute sniper.

Like it shoots out long ass needles that impales its enemies.

Vicous is the idea, imagine catching a 5 foot long needle that got shot out a 50 cal type sniper.

-blam!- would either blow straight trough you or get stuck in your brain.
