What's the point of a slow, weak, and terrible weapon! THERE IS NO POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can dodge it by simply sidestepping!!!!!!

I use the needler as a dissing weapon. If used correctly on a person of "less than normal" brainpower, I can fill that person up with needles, and watch the explosions that ensue. Finally, everyone in the room laughs the loser out of the room. The needler is a horrible weapon. It's only good for openly "pwning" people and having a good laugh after.

I use it for sneak attacks. Fill them up on neddlers and they die in a pink explosion. So pretty.

People speak of using explosives artistically. I think the needler is the true expression of art. Explosives, ultimately, are an easy thing to use. It explodes, and if it's near a bad guy, he either is hurt or gets killed. The needler requires planning, a rationing on ammunition due to small clip sizes, and a knowledge of the battlefield. A palyer who has all these aspects can be a deadly close to medium range fighter. It's rare to find one, making the needler at teh bottom of most people's list, but I have seen some people who can really use it effectively, like any other weapon.

There are a lot of threads going around about the needler! It's really quite popular at the moment! I personally like it.

Lets say there is a group of enimys, You have shot one and now are taking cover from there fire. Without having to aim, you can unload a clip from the needler and if that one grunt or elite you just killed had a few plasma garnades the whole groups going down. All you see is pink followed by Blue explosions ending in multy colored bloodly carnage.

Works well when you cant actualy see your apponant totaly ( hiding behind trees, little rocks ect) ...not in multi-player tho, The needler has no use there.

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

The needler isn't a bad weapon, it's just difficult to use effectivley. It's best in tight spaces where your target has nowhere to dodge them.
