fisrt of id like to thank bungie for ruining the needlers in halo2, hopfuly there better in H3.
but any way the needler are my favorite wep in Halo but there not as good as they were in H1 ,
1. their heatseaking sucks, in h1 it was harder to dodge them but in h2 all you have to do is move over a foot or two.

2 in h1 you could shoot them on the grond or at a wall next to some one and theyd still blow up ( that was awsome) but in h2 they dissipere if they dont hit an enemy.

3.in h1 when a large amountstuck hit some one there was a HUGE explosion and the guy would fly 100ft, but in H2 he only hops and its not as big of an explosion
its sad to say but H2 ruined my old favorite weapon. but theres still H3! i hope the needlers will get that spark back like they had in H1 it would be GREAT!!!!!!

Yes, I was also dissapointed about the HALO 2 needlers. Hopefully they will be better in HALO 3.

I hate the needlers that were in Halo 2, especially that the heat seeking sucked, so I felt like a bunch of needles were flying around everywhere and it got really annoying!

h1 h2 needler cant touch meh. you do realize that the h2 needlers where an attempt to make the needler better (talk a about an improvement) bungie needs to bring back the old needler because i dont think its possible to kill a mid - expert player, a new player maybe and thats only gonna last so long.
still good to see ppl light up in a pink light though

I agree.. I also liked that they remained powerful if you bounced them around a corner in H1. but I voted go kill yourself because it's funny.

When Halo 2 was announced, my favorite weapon at the time was needlers. I was dreaming of how fast they would shoot and how powerful they would be. But then i got little piecies of plastic which dont do crap.

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


Amazing!

Maybe they were weakened because of dual weilding? Maybe? Just maybe?

If there is dual weidling in Halo 3, the weapons such as SMG (if it's included), Plasma Rifle, Magnum, Plasma Pistol, and Needler will all not be as powerful as before.

Not to mention how much cooler the H1 needlers looked. There was nothing more satisfying than unloading a clip of needles on an unsuspecting victim. That was the great thing about it in Halo1, it was unique, it was great short range, but it would also seek out your enemies mid-long range and do explosive damage. It worked extremely well to keep snipers at bay.

But now in halo 2 they're even less useful as an SMG, and may as well just be a pink underpowered smg.

yeah but it doesnt mean they have to suck . just because theres dual-weilding doesnt mean they should stop them from being good, like i said before the heat seaking isnt good, the explosions arnt as big or as loud and people dont go flying after there killed by the needlers like in h1 and there SLOW as $h1t in H2

Exactly, they should have better heat seeking and just go in one direction, not all floating around and going everywhere, that proves how much the suck now. I know a lot of people that dont like needlers but thats Halo 2's fault. If they were like they were in Halo 1 not so much people would hate them.

Perhaps they should combine the two. Make one that homes like the H1 needler, and shoot as fast as a H2 needler.

That don't "suck." They're weaker. If that's "suck" to you, then so be it. That's how it is.

Also, try dual wielding a player with Needlers, they'll explode. It's amazing.

The H2 needles go like 1mph. I meen come on what is that junk!

You could practically grab one in mid air.

The needler in halo two was better. Homing should be toned down as much as possible.

For halo 3, the needler should be duel-mode. Primary is the needler we all know and love... secondary is dubbed the "needler shotgun" In this mode, you can unless 1/2 to full ckip of needles all at once.

The H2 needler shot faster but the needles were slower, the H1 needler shot slower but the needles were faster. Combine them so there is fast shooting, fast needles, and big explosions. That is what I'm saying.

Now thats something I agree with, but make better heat seeking!

I hope they give you enough human weapons so you dont have to use the needler (for master chief anyways). In halo 1 you had enough human weapons to use them most, or even all of the game. In halo 2 you use the covenant weapons alot more than you did in halo 1.
