I always thought it would've been cool if the Needler's melee consisted of the Chief/Arbiter flipping the Needler upside-down, then impaling the enemy with the exposed needles, and jerking it away, *emptying the needles* into them, upon which the needles would explode and cause a one-hit kill. Not only would this be epic, but I think it would make the Needler a more formidable/appealing weapon overall. The mauler has an improved lunge and damage, so it seems reasonable to suggest that an improved melee be applied to the Needler. perhaps this could be optional; say you have to hold B or have a completely full clip before this can be achieved, or make it an assassination-only, but I think this is worthy of consideration. this could be done quickly without interrupting the pace or leaving you vulnerable like some cinematic executions in Gears.

*this would actually expend an entire clip of needles, or however many remain in the gun when the melee is used*

However, if this cannot be done due to balancing issues or something of the like, I would be content just to see that happen in a Halo movie. I just want the developers to realize they created a gun with the potential for a really awesome melee/finisher.

Include any cool ideas for the kill/medal name.
"stake/staked" anyone?
