There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

It might get scrapped. But eh, atleast we knew.

Good suggestion, might be a cool weapon.

You can check them out, looks pretty good I think there is a couple more that got leaked, no idea where they came from, but there official.
Oxy moron comes from a _____.

There is no such thing as an official leak.

...Love, love is a blind man's game, you have to look around to know where you are...

No, I dun think this is right, i think the thing is more of a needler/shotgun or needler/rocket launcher

Wrong.

Just because some person on the internet says it is real, it doesn't make them "official". Nothing is official until Bungie says so.

In addition, I suggest editing your original post to "Please lock", as we aren't allowed to discuss leaked content, unless that is you want to risk a permanent ban.

Well maybe not, all I'm saying is that there might be a carbine that shoots out needles.

  • 11.16.2009 1:10 PM PDT

I would love to have it, but it said you had to take down shields first, not so good, in my opinion, unless there was a long range plasma pistol...

  • 11.16.2009 1:53 PM PDT

I do think it would be a cool idea to have a penetrator like needle carbine that nails your enemies to the wall using the same ole pink needles. That would be quite a pleasuring experience. I don't know if the developers of F.E.A.R. have patented this gun though. :/

I agree. Maybe if people realalize that only Bungie has the final say, we could stop seeing all these theories.

if there was one, I don't think it would replace the needler or the carbine, well, maybe one, but rather be a rare weapon like a brute shot or something.

wither that or the needler turret. in the books there is one part where a spartan gets shot in the leg with an over sized needler needle that was fired from a turret. so ya maybe the turrets in Reach are first person.

Speaking on a theoretical basis.

We already have the Carbine which is the Covenant version of the BR. A Needler version would just be more redundancy. While lots of weapons with different things are cool (Ratchet & Clank, Resistance) that's not Halo.

I would like a Needler version of the SpLaser. SpLaser currently has no Covenant counterpart and it might provide a more "skilled" way to down vehicles besides the SpLaser.

More than two is okay dude. Think about all the smg-style guns in halo, there's at least 4. It's like you don't want halo to change at all from halo 3. go play halo 3.

Three. SMG, Plasma Rifle, and Spiker. Magnum, Plasma Pistol and Mauler are technically pistols even though the Mauler is closer to a Shotgun in operation.

One might argue that the introduction of the Brute weapons is unnecessary and redundant. Especially since they operate in the same fashions as their counterparts. I can see that to flesh out the Brutes more Bungie decided to add their own weapons and give them much more detail.

Right now I see a Needler version of the Carbine as potentially unnecessary, flawed, and a development sink. There are problems now balancing the current Needler. To expand those problems to a mid-range weapon means at least that the weapon will be underused and passed up the majority of the time.
