Everyone seems to hate it or just ignore the thing when you walk past it. I think if you made so that when you melee attack someone and the needles would impel into your foe, that a lot more people would be more intersted in picking it up. I know I would. It would be great to see your foe explode with a full clip of needles sticking out of there head. zj

the needler was never really an attractive weapon choice for me. low homing pink needled weapon that did damage a few seconds after it hit just isn't as appealing as a machine gun that has muzzle flash and hurts right when the bullets hit. i agree about the melee though, if they brought back the melee from halo 1, it would at least look cooler in melee fights.

The needler was only good in a situation when your opponent stood still (not gonna happen) or was un-aware of you being there (also not likely).

But it would be made better by making it usefull in single wield. At the moment it is only effective in a dual weild situation.

I personally, love the needler. It's a very fun wepon. It's just a little slow.

Little delayed but dang fun. Personally I dual weilded them and made havoc on Lan parties all the time because of the fast firering rate. I found it fun but not as useful as the plasma rifle smg combo or the smg pistol combo

meh........

The needler works very well in campain. Multiplayer use is limited. AI is dumb and stays still for you, but real people are too fast and move all the time. I never use the needler on live. It's pretty, but sucks.

All it needs is more seeking power.

One game I'm not joking a little like 7 year old said and I quote " tell me what your dick looks like so I can imagine it in my head and beat off to it"

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

If the needles were as fast and had the homing ability as they did on Halo: CE, it would be very good, but it's best served as a dual wielded weapon on Halo 2 and therefore less useful.
