Ignore reticule bloom of Needle Rifle.
I personally like the Carbine better. Yes, the NR can give you the satisfaction of seeing your enemy explode in an emasculating pink mist, but I was always felt more professional with the CC. Plus, apparently the radioactive carbine rounds also release a toxin after penetration.
How about you guys?

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I like the Needle Rifle more. It's much more accurate than the Carbine ever will be.

Then there's the plus added by seeing the actual needles stuck inside your enemy, and then the subsequent explosion.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Carbine. The Needle Rifle has weak power.

So? It had enough power to pass right through from one side to the other.

And what makes you think the carbine wouldn't do the same thing?

Down with Ulfric the killer of kings!
On the day of your death we will drink and we'll sing
We're the children of Skyrim
And we fight all out lives
And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies

Either way she took a needle rifle through the head.

Anyway I'd pick the Needle Rifle because I like the pretty splosion =]

Seeing how it is designed to act as a poisonous weapon (it releases toxins after lodging itself into the body of the victim according to Halo: The Essential Visual Guide) it makes sense for the rounds to not have that much penetration, or else the toxin would not be injected since the round would go right through the person.

Dude, that's the freaking awesome! Now I like the Carbine even more! But are you sure it's not RADIATION poisoning?

It just says that it releases toxins, it has radiation but it also injects other toxins.

(Bungie > 343i)

Carbine for sure, it was the shiz.

I like the Carbine better, but the Needle Rifle comes close.

  • 02.02.2012 9:46 AM PDT

I always loved the idea of the needler, but never really liked how it handled. The needle rifle is a lot more how I always envisioned the needler, and I love it for that.

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

Based on campaigns.

Carbine

Needle rifle is far superior.

Oly Oly Oxen Free

Carbine.

  • 02.02.2012 10:46 AM PDT

needle rifle by far

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Carbine all the way.

So, Death or Bungie?

Carbine in Halo 2 is godly.

  • 02.02.2012 1:06 PM PDT

I like the NR; I found the Carbine to be awkward to make precision headshots consistently, especially jackles, which are for some reason the hardest to shoot in the head in H2 and 3.

NR if you miss the head a few times - BOOM.
