okay, this strategy is a great way for taking out a sniper/camper/spawnkiller/etc what you do is you wait until you see someone who is not moving. then, go up behing the, and shoot an entire clip into the enemy, and run like hell. or, if you are low on ammo, but are being sniped at shoot one round at a time at them. it will not kill them, but it WILL make it ha\rder for them to snipe. oh, and the melee attack? it sucks right? WRONG! a great combo in a 1v1 match is to remove your opponents shields with a overcharged plasma pistol shot, and then melee them. the needler has a very long range melee attack (also, in 1 player/co op try using the needler melee attack against jackals...) BUT! these strategies need practice, 'specialy because of the huge explosion when the needler rounds go off. one final word.... when using a needler, always have a rapid fire weapon like the AR with you because if the needler doesnt kill em, they will at least be having a hard enough time seeing (you ever tried attacking someone with a facefull of pink?) that the AR will take 'em out. thats all for now folks!
