No. They're already overpowered.

I think you should stop trying to create an unbeatable weapon and just become proficient with one or a few weapons like everyone else in Halo...

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Needlers are fine as they are.

Not if you strafe.

But honestly OP, they shouldn't be dual wieldable.

First, they don't exactly compliment other weapons when you dual wield them with other weapons, because of the needlers nature not to do damage until you get seven needles into your opponent, which doesn't help the other weapon out and visa versa.

So really its only useful if you have double needlers, but I don't want to have to find two halves of a good weapon combo when the weapon by itself could just be awesome.

BS. I played a game just last night that a needler killed me by going around a corner. So not only was I strafing, I was going behind cover, and yet it STILL killed me.

I just want them to make the needler huge like in Halo: CE again and re-add the melee animation where you whip the needle magazine, spikes first, into your ennemy.

Go Go Happy Time!

No. Bungie didn't do dual wielding for niedlar in Halo 3 because they put more power in to it, but a smaller clip.

How about no duel wielding at all. It seems to be a balancing nightmare. The needler and pistol in Halo2 were underpowered. Now we have the spiker and kind of the pistol. I actually use the pistol often.

You are seriously obsessed with overpowered weapons.

  • 10.18.2009 8:23 AM PDT

overpowered try the h3 pistol it truly scks real life pistols are better

  • 10.18.2009 8:31 AM PDT

dude, the people you're shooting at have like four inches of armor on them. it's like trying to punch a tank

  • 10.18.2009 8:56 AM PDT

hmmm lets see halo 3 magnum needs 5 shots in the chest/head to kill an opponent... SOO weakk-blam!- lol... odst pistol... WEAK AS HELL with a fast rate of fire... and a scope...the took the scope from h1 the pistol from h2 and combined em to make the odst pistol and its BAD u ever used it against a brute??? lol besides back on track with the needler... it takes EIGHT needles to force an explosion... that can kill full os ... so basically... needler kills anyone except for someone with invincibility every time if u can learn to lead for their strafe so u dnt miss... and whoever wants it to go back to dualwielding SUCKS because who wants to go back to the h2 needler where after needles stop going in the person finally explodes and they travel slower and take WAY more needles to get a kill... if ur expecting them to take the exact h3 needler and put it in both hands then ur a bit of a moron...

and personally i think that its better to single wield so u have options such as nading or EASILY switchin weapons when ur reloading... or nething else that comes with having a free hand even the faster reload... DONT TRY TO FIX WHATS NOT BROKEN PLEASE
