and although it sounds good, the needler explosive bash is a bad idea because it would unblance the weapons.
i disagree. as i see it right now, the needler >>IN MULTIPLAYER<< is the worst weapon in the game. campaign is a whole different ball game. don't get me wrong, i love it, and i even consider myself pretty good with it, but it sucks. it's a bit inaccurate, the needles travel too slow, the # of shots is too few, and you don't even do extra melee damage, even though you're jamming 8" explosive needles into the other guy. the only reason anyone can get a kill with it is in REALLY tight spaces (like the corridor above the overshield in chill out), or if the people you're playing against suck. and suck bad. if it's going to be that ineffective as a ranged weapon, make it more of a melee weapon. so you see, what you consider "unbalancing," i consider "balancing." but who knows, frankie said the needler is going to be a weapon people actively look for, maybe they've already incorporated this idea...and maybe even more?
