why is the needler gun back in HALO 2 (as seen in the 2nd MP screenshot)? barely anyone used it before... i always thought it was way too powerful so they tuned it down before they released the first HALO, and they tuned it down so much that it just sucked. obviously they worked on it coz it's back for HALO 2!

I don't know, but by the way Frankie's been talking about it, it shouldn't be as big a piece of crap as it was in the first game.

The needler is actually a very creative type of gun...

It just needed a few modifications, and is now, according to Frankie, going to be a weapon that we will actually look for...

I've actually never had that big of a problem with it

I don't know, there have been some times when i actaully killed some one with a needler, (when he wasn't looking).

I don't know what game you guys were playing but I kicked all type of ass with the needler.

  • 04.13.2004 9:36 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I actually liked the old needler, so I am really looking forward to the new one. Especially dual weilding......oh ya!

I use the needler when its around and Im out of ammo for my pistol. Expectially (sp?) on single player. It's funny in multiplayer to shoot 1 needle across a room and watch it follow someone. It's also funny to watch someone get plastered to heck. :)

I dont know why anyone would diss ANY of the weapons in Halo. EVERY SINGLE ONE serves its purpose. If u used the needler properly it is incredibly effective. Its not meant to be used as a reliable generic assault weapon. Be creative with your use of them. If your smart enough you can give YOURSELF cover fire with needles, use their low velocity and get right into the fray with an AR. By the time your in the thick of it all the needles have done their damage, half the covies are panicked so you dont have an entire patrol shooting back at you. Too much mulitplayer has rotted your brains strategic element.

well i'm glad the needler will be back I love to use it in Halo but it should be alot better with the new needler in Halo 2 though.

  • 04.13.2004 9:57 PM PDT

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

... what?

The needler is easiest the funnest weapon in Halo. Load a sucker up with 20 purple-white crystaline shards and watch 'em fly. And its extremely useful in legendary, especially against Elites and the Flood. The only bad thing about the needler is its clip size (too small) and the fact that its pretty much useless against jackals. And just think! Duel weilding! 2 fricken' needlers at once! 40 needles in someone is gonna make one hell of a bang! (I think Frankie mentioned something about 2 needlers in a weekly update... but... maybe I dreamt it)

I totally agree with shai. the needler is the weapon u must use the most when in legendary. I will take a needler over a pistol any day in campaign. it homes in on an elite and wart wart wart BOOM! if needler is goin to get modified to become better you may see urself picking it up more often in the future.

Bungie was feeling humorous. XD

Nah, I think they really may have something, along with alot of other people. In Halo it was a novelty, now it may be a Covie Killin' weapon and a Covie killer.

In some movie the Pope said to a man who had lost faith "fake it"

Can't remeber the name of the movie nor the reason I'm posting so ...
