What if you could take the needler and jab it into someone and eject the spikes into them and they explode.

that would be cool. If u meleed and pulled the trigger at the same time wit the needler, it discharged all its needles at once, and the person xploded

Yeah...

Personally, I think they should make a needle shotgun, that basically shoots 10 needles in a spread, at close range. Maybe 6 rounds per clip, each round being 10 needles. It would be pretty cool.

How about this for a new needler use. You can actually kill people with it. Like without having to use two full clips. Yeah, the Melee idea is cool. We all know this. But Bungie has had two tries at the weapon, and still have not been able to balance it properly. Personally, what I think. It could be a dominating weapon. How about a bigger needler, maybe a two handed weapon? Something that would be feared like the rocket launcher or sword. Or maybe a stationary Needler weapon (Turret)?

The Shotgun idea is nice. But I personally would just like a covenant shotty period.

And a combo weapon would go over nicely. Like the Pfhor Staff from Bungies other FPS Marathon.

What if...the needler was actually a -blam!- shooter and when you shot it the -blam!-s would stop the PMSing Grunts so they would relax and you would be able to kill them without them trying to fight back. Now THAT would be cool.

No it shot the whole clip of a needler so it blows up or something like a grenade launcher

Great idea, I like it. What kinda needler variant thought, would be like a Rocket Launcher, sort of, it shoots one big needle, and blows up and sprays shards everywhere.

this has already been rated the dumbest idea on the threads. along with the pink grunt.

Wow Tomkiller, you are so awesome. Just like your awesome name. I like your idea of the pink grunt. It sounds like another fun thing to kill to me.

But a more powerful needler weapon should be introduced. I mean it could be a dominate weapon. And then if you put it into MP. You could make a KILL THE CARRIER game type. Where you can only score if you kill someone with that weapon. It would be great fun.

  • 06.21.2006 8:32 PM PDT

Needler does need an upgrade in H3. I can't think of anyone that would go out of their way to grab a needler. It is a pretty useless weapon in mp.

Umm...if it jabbed needles into the target, enough to make them (I consider singular they/them to be acceptable English!) explode, then the person doing the melee would get caught in the resulting explosion...

if a covie shotgun is made, it should put big, long green needles into people that continue to damage them for 3 sec (damage is equivalent to fire damage)

I wish we had the Needler from Halo CE. It tracked better and was actually USEFUL.

This one we have sucks and you don't dare pick it up unless you feel lucky with it.



I've also been proposing the idea of a insta-kill melee move witht he weapon since the days of Halo CE. Always thought it would be cool to empty all 20 Needles into the enemy with a single Melee move and then have to run as the person blows up. Instant kill, but very risky. It would balace itself out.

I've always thought it was a cool idea to do so, and I support it as it is!

You only have to use 1/2 of a clip to make it explode enough to kill someone. If you use 2 needlers against Tarturus, it explodes 4 times.
