It is a good gun if you can use it. Not properly using the needler is liek using a sword on a sniper across the map, it won't work. Only nubs can't use the needler.

people who don't like it don't know how to use it... I've noticed that online people will dual wield two needlers but use it incorrectly by pushing both triggers at the same time it makes the needlers go out slower... Try pushing one trigger left or right and then quickly pressing and holding the other one... I've tested this many times the needlers come out a million times faster so it = awsome.

Basically, the needler sucks as a weapon, but its a classic halo weapon, and its fun to use. So I'm sure it will come back

  • 06.18.2006 1:49 PM PDT

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I say if you bring it back, bring it back with the explosion it had in H1. I loved the way people would pop. Plus in campaign mode it made stickies explode if they were near by. That's how it should be in MP

It will come back. It is the worst weapen in Halo2, but too classic to take out.

Wow if you say the needler is garbage then you are too, it saved my level 28 in double team once... my friend SkyL1N3 ( also was host ) on beaver creek when that crappy update was on with Team Duals. The score was 28 to 26 ( Me and SkyL1N3 had 26 ), with 10 seconds left in the game, he picks up dual needlers ( the kids with 28 were laughing at us for losing BUT!!! ) SkyL1N3 starts blasting those needles one by one and gets a double and says "Gangsta Needles B1tch!!!" we were tied, I grabbed a BR and got a double... LMAO it was the funniest thing I have ever seen. They were VERY angry at the end cuz they never got humiliated so badly with needles!

They should make a new version, like a Needler "Shotgun" It just fires 8 needles at once, and can do that 4 times before reloading.

I'll draw some sketches of it and post it on the fourms.

I wouldn't say the worst. The plasma pistol blows, it's only good when combined with a battle rifle or pistol, but alone it sucks.

I get a lot of joy out of killing people with the needler because it's pretty disgraceful to be killed by it.

  • 06.18.2006 2:04 PM PDT

bungie should put it back in h3 but make it not duel wield and more like a slow firing halo 1 needler

I've always been a fan of the Needler in both games. I use it almost always whenever it's available.

To leave it out of Halo 3 would be rather weird, but I'm sure it'll be in the game.

i agree it would weird to take it out, but they should really tweak it....maybe make it shoot purple needles, or a rainbow of needles, that would freak people out

any weapon can be absolutely devastating when used correctly. I'm a firm believer in the concept of duel-mode weapons and the "Needler Shotgun." I should be able to press a button, like the right bumper button (dont ask me, thats what Wikipedia is calling it), and then charge up and unless a wave of Needles that are as devastating as a shotgun shell. The Needler already has the range of a shotgun... now give it the strength of one! Also, it should be like 1/4 or half a clip of needles per shotgun like blast, that way you can't overuse that mode, but you could still duel wield ( I also think eveyweapon should be duelwieldable... just imagine holding two shotguns... come on!!!! MC could totally do it)

and ofcourse the needler will be back...

I don't use the needler and never really found much of a use for it until the other day me and some friends are waiting for some friends to get out of a match and the party leader loaded a FFA Needler gametype. I gotta admit it was really fun.

rainbow needler..LSD lol..

and i liked the needler, it wasnt just an equivilant of a human weapon (*cough*carbine*cough* beam rifle). However i think its fire rate slowed down, missile speed the same, and impact damage the same. I also think that the bouncing needles should home better. As they are atm, its homing SMG.

And a FFA Needler gametype is badass to screw around with

Of course it'll come back. They can't get rid of it, especially when it's one of the most fun weapons to use. I mean, what's better than blowing up a scared grunt with a needler?


Blowing one up with a gernade.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

It should just track better. In multiplayer it's too easy to dodge.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

I love it, since wasting grenades on Grunts is a inpractical the Needler is the best way to get the "NOT AGAIN!" comment.

does anyone know if it works on the 360?
