The Halo 1 needlers would be way better if you could dual wield them, peace, im gonna go play with the Halo 1 needlers haha!

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

I say let bungie do whatever they want. I' ll trust their decision.

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

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.


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

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.
Do you realize how bland the needler explosions are in Halo 2? It's a pink silent flash and then the player's body hops...in Halo 1, if you unloaded a whole clip into someone, you could create as much as three big pink pillars, and whoever was near the blast radius would die as well. Not to mention--the needler explosion in Halo 1 actually had glass-shattering sound effects.

the needlers in halo 1 were better just because it was faster and cooler explosion

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

just to tell you guys, the needler uses a magnectic field to guide the needles, not "heat seeking"

Heat seeking, magnet field, same thing man and same effect! Who cares? Well thanks for the info anyway.

the needler must be the hardest gun to balance since it can easily be overpowering or useless

but i think giving it the rate of fire of the halo 2 needler and needes to make a explostion like in halo 1 the clip of halo 2 but with home thats better i don't know how much but more then halo 2s home

they both plainly suck. Their homing but still they seem to never hit anything so i have completely gave up on them pretty much

Why is everyone dissapointed with the Needler? I found no legit reasons as to why. Because in Halo 2 you get:
* 30 round magazine(if you could call it that). Halo 1 only had 20.
* duel weild.
* steady firing rate from what i've seen.
* Duel weild.
* Faster melee(didn't look as satisfying, but certainly faster).
* Halo 1 needler took about 10-12 needles to trigger an explosion, halo 2 only needed 8.

I don't see what the probelem was. I never used the Halo 1 Needler, I never really liked it. That changed in Halo 2.

all i want from the needlers is BETTER heat-seaking AND a BIG LOUDER explosion!!!
i never said to make them stronger but they should just male sumeone fly like MFing Super-man and the explosion should acualy be an explosion!!!!

not poooffff.... BUT A HUGE BOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
