Does anyone else here prefer the needle rifle over the DMR. I just like it so much better because of it's higher fire rate and bloom recovery. I just love being able to spam my DMR-wielding foe with more rounds than he can swallow while he has to deal with the slower fire rate and bloom recovery. Who cares if it has less damage. With that super combine ability and that fore rate, the damage difference won't matter and no one will escape its purple wrath. It also looks all sorts of saucy. One thing I do wish they didn't do with it is when they changed the needles from green back to pink. I think they should bring it back in another Halo just for the Heck of it. Is it under-appreciated by the fans or is it just that no one ever talks about it? Am I the only one that prefers it over the DMR?

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

The bloom on the NR is even worse than the DMR.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

It's only good in ZB.

It expands faster but it also recovers faster. At ranges I find it much easier to fire because of that.

I don't think the TU update did anything at all to the needle rifle. It must be the placebo effect

That's because in the TU the needle rifle stops being a needle rifle and starts being The Dolphin Gun, Destroyer of Worlds.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

When I shoot with the needle rifle, it takes me like ten or more shots to kill someone.

I prefer the DMR.
