The needler in Halo was way to powerful but i didnt mind that as long as there's only at least on the map or two for large to medium maps. But its accuracy was way to good, in the right place you could nearly snipe someone with it. Its recoil needs to be the same as the silenced SMG from ODST and have slightly bigger cross hairs. Anyone agree?
Oh and if you want it nerfed say if you want it as i said or different. And if you want it the same then tell me why?

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

No, the needler should stay as it is. It's a good anti-sniper weapon. I can't say how often I have to resort to it these days to take out snipers who camp in one spot and take out enemies. More often than not, the Sniper is accompanied by one or more teammates, and the only way to eliminate him is a needler or rocket launcher or similar weapon. So, the needler is fine, and should remain unchanged.

Good point. Its the best Camper killer maybe reduce the amount of needlers on the map?
Thanks for posting.

It would be better against snipers in my idea

Umm... What? Have you tried shooting a needler across Last Resort at someone? It doesn't have homing at that range, and the accuracy is terrible without homing.

It does come in handy at medium ranges, but that's what it is designed for, I see no problem with it as it is now... In fact, if given a choice between Sniper and AR or Sniper and Needler i would go with the AR.
If anything, it needs an ammo increase.

I think the Needler is quite good in H3. It is extremely powerful but extremely specialised. It's quite a bizarre weapon.

I find that it is only useful against enemies who don't realise you are attacking them, otherwise a good strafe makes it useless. I quite like playing team games, hiding with a needler as a teammate carries the enemy flag to our base and then picking off the enemy team as they come by. Because they don't realise where I am or what I'm doing I cane easily take out their team in one or two clips.

I disagree entirely, if anything, the needler should be buffed a little. As is right now it's a pretty useless weapon, it'll get you 1-2 kills max, and is most certainly not the weapon you make it out to be op.

Its not way too powerful if you are smart enough to not to run in a beeline at your opponent and absorb all the needles with your face.

If anything i want it to either get stronger or stay the same, i do not want it nerfed.

I think it should stay the same way that it is. It was one of the only weapons that were good at midrange besides the BR the Carbine

It is the ninja's perfect tool.

It's the best way to assassinate someone in the open.(Ie without a BR warning shot)

Stickies are second best, but if they're moving it's tough.

They're great at anti-sniper on last resort if they're up on the wall. Jump out the wheel and let'er rip. Other spots however are too protected, like the spawn not connected to the wheeel(So I don't know my call outs, I'm a BK)

Personally, I love using it on LastResort, ganking people under where it spawns by the turret(towards the transformers/cliff), as people tend to collect there like it's a little arena. Though I could do with an ammo increase.
