Besides the needle rifle, grenade lauchers, and sniper rifle...

Were the remaining alien weapons made to kill others in multiplayer?

I always thought as the one useless weapon that shoots out the beam of light to be a sniper...

Not terrible... but certainly worthless against an opponent with a half decent weapon.

Plasma pistol is worthless without a single shot weapon or your fist. Not useless, but not a weapon you can rely on all the time.

If it can't kill in two trigger pulls, it isn't worthy of being a Sniper.

What the hell? It's than better than the AR anyway. That's not saying a lot, but it's damn good if you know how to use it.

Edit: fixed a typo.

If I ever match up with you in mm, I'll make sure to challenge you no matter what weapon I have when you're walking around with a pp.

at close range, its a terrible weapon but at mid-range, its pretty powerful.

Opponents easily can just sprint or evade to a certain direction and the needles will miss. Even then, simply strafing can cause needles to miss.

You can shoot the needles where the target is going and they will still track him.

When's the only time you use a needler is mm? Elite Slayer? Maybe Fiesta? Seeing as Fiesta is just a "mess around" gametype, it's irrelevant. But in a competitive game of Elite Slayer, are you going to choose the needler or needle rifle?

Focus rifle is actually good if you have a steady aim, I've just started picking it up in a few games, and its not that bad. Needler from long-mid range is also good.

Needler hardly ever beats needle rifle. In the rare cases it does, the guy with rifle was an idiot.

It's just annoying how can't kill more than one person in under a set amount of time. Once you kill somebody (assuming they're full shields), you just can't go on to the next guy. It has to cool and such. It's a good secondary, but nowhere near primary.

This is where I concluded that you don't know what you're talking about.

Bungie.

These "aliens" are called The Covenant. And I'm pretty sure that the "aliens" don't have a multiplayer, they are trying to eradicate the human race. So no, they did not design their weapons to win in a multiplayer matchmaking game.

  • 01.29.2012 10:14 AM PDT

The "aliens" you are playing are specifically the "Elites" not the other kinds, you can't play as those sadly. The humans are trying to defend their colonies. I'm positive that the "Spartans" don't have a mulitiplayer either. So no, they did not desighn their weapon to win a multiplayer matchmakeing game as well.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

OT the majority of covenant weapons in Halo Reach have been in previous Halo games
