Halo CE needler was great. Useless in MP though, or close to useless at least. Too slow needles coupled with laggy netcode (PC). But in SP, it was a OP weapon... Elites on Legendary were jokes with it (though i prefer using AR on legendary for challenge...)
Halo 2 needler, now that sucked. Needed like a thousand needles to blow up the target, almost didn't follow at all, and still they were slow. Dual wielding didn't make it any better.
Halo 3's needler is best so far, though i'd slow the needles a but but increase homing to Halo CE-like.
I hope Reach will have a mix of Halo CE and 3 needlers, with best points combined, not the worst...
Actually, the Halo 2 needler only a third of a clip to kill something, but I do agree it's tone downed homing reduced it to being a effective close ranged weapon.
I disagree on the Halo 1 needler, yes, it has great homing, but it takes half a clip to kill on target, unlike the PP or PR, which not only could kill very well, but those weapons had a lot of ammo, and were quite common, unlike the needler.
