I think there should be a bigger delay when u shoot someone up with needlers like in halo 1 this gives for a more vengeful kill. what do u think. give me your opinion on any other weapons.

Please oh please do not make us play with needlers again. HOw about a new weapon to replace them.

I like the needler the way it is. I heard someone else say something cool in here a couple days ago.

What about a Covenant shotgun that shoots needler rounds?

That would be pretty cool.

Dualwielding rifle that has zoom-in, homing in, exploding rounds? Did you learn nothing from H1's Magnum?

Awesome idea 4 the new Needler

it could have 2 functions

1 it could shoot the way it does now, with it's slight homing and late burst

2nd function could be

shooting all rounds at once in one large burst, the homing should be turned off for this and if it hits em it should be as strong as the shotgun

The needler is one of the most orginal weapons I've seen in a video game. It needs to have slightly more tracking then it does in Halo 1 & 2 to be an effective weapon though.

You can't beat the AR but what would make it better would be a AR with grenade luancher attachment yeah. also the needler is a useless but fun weapon

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Well, what I think would be better is if the needler had faster needles and less homing (still homes though) and actually make it a cool (temperature cool) purple rather than pink. This way accurate grouping of quills is promoted. I also liked it when the needler really had a loud bang and it did splash damage, aslo with multiple explosions. That rocked!
And noone is to slag the needler.. else I will be after them with a large but damp and slightly smelly trout. Emphasis on large.
Play needler only games, theyre such good fun, especially on misdship.

And, for some reason the origional shape of the needler looked slightly more powerful, it looked a tad cooler.

A needle shotgun would be cool, but I don't know how balanced it would be!

EDIT
Some other things I'd like to say about the weapons:
The shotgun: Its a bit unreliable, but the thing I wanted to point out was recoil. The recoil of Halo 1 looked much better and was more realistic - you're firing an 8 guage shell here! Recoil on some other weapons was also toned down like on the sniper, I felt it looked more powerful with a big kickback.
Plasma pistol: Gah. Stop the horrificly good homing, tone it down A LOT and increase the power of standard shots. Also make the overcharge shots damage health, that way it becomes more useful on its own.

Weapons in general: One thing that would really help, or for me anyway, is if the rumbling on the controler was increased. It was toned down massivly in Halo 2 and it made everything seem more distant, if you get what I mean.

Also, he doesn't seem to -blam!- any weapons anymore... whats that all about?
