Carbine.

It shoots at a MUCH higher rate of fire.

I wish Carbine had more than one kill per magazine.

Having loved the carbine in the previous installments of halo, I think the needle rifle is way cooler, and just overall better. One cant really compare the two rifles though, as they are so much different.

Edit: I say this with regards to the campaigns these weapons were featured in. In a competitive scenario, id probably want the carbine as its fast as all else.

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

S.A.A.

BOTH. Carbine's faster. Needler blows the crap out of you.

Carbine, easily.

My Youtube channel, i post Halo gameplays and clips. :)

The TU needle rifle...it has no bloom and a super combine. Sure the carbine was good but it's magasine was too small and the BR would win any battle if your strafe was good enough

Nuff thing much. I think Halo is awesome:D

I liked the Carbine in halo 2 and 3, but the Needle Rifle has a cooler design and it can supercombine. I choose the Needle Rifle.

Needle Rifle has 3 kills per clip. Plus, Carbine has a shorter range and less accuracy. Therefore, the Carbine is inferior in every way.

Carbine is better for attacking, one shot kills with drones, jackal and grunt.

Needle rifle is better for fast sniping and killing brutes, but makes the enemies jump like fools.

Carbine is better IMO.

Wut.

Needle Rifle does that too.

  • 01.21.2012 11:44 AM PDT

Only thing the Needle Rifle is better than the Carbine is that the Needle Rifle gets more kills per mag.

I enjoy the appearance of the Needle Rifle more and it does feel quite smooth but the Carbine killed faster. That being said, the Needle Rifle has a greater range...I'd honestly be comfortable with either to be perfectly honest.

NR is more accurate but I think the Carbine looks better and plays better. I like how much quicker it fires and if you have good aim it owns everything.

LONG LIVE H3 BETA CARBINE
