I've been making a point of using needlers in single player just for the extra challenge on Legendary. They are effective (very in fact) against Elites with no cover aroundor who are in a tight hallway. They desrtroy grunts well and Jackals about 50/50 ( damn shields)
The trick, as mentioned above, is to unload a clip at a target, or several targets in a group, to get the 'ripple effect' of needler explosions, which set off dropped grenades, which set off other grenades ect.
The needler in Halo 1 is a piece of -blam!-, but it can still be really fun/effective in the right situations. In Halo2, it will rule.
Well... if I ever fealt like using I needler in first Halo, I would just basically spray it in the random direction towards an elite in a room, and if I get lucky "BOOM!!!" : )
Any way, I think that it will still, just simply move a lot faster, making it a lot more effective at medium range.
