Does anybody remember watching a video of the needler on one of the first multiplayer videos for Halo 2. It shot needles alot faster, they had much better auto-lock, and they weren't as strong so to even it out. They were amazing looking, how would everyone feel if they put in that needler?

The needler in Halo CE sucked! i never used it. Halo 2 needler is awsome especially against brutes in the later levels of campaigne (and multiplayer for that matter).

I will try to find it for you, it showed I think jay, shooting hubcaps off a warthog, locking on of the rocket launcher, dual wielding, and different needlers.

Check IGN, that's where I originally saw it, it has the old shield bar too.

The link is about four posts above yours, yeah I watched the vid for the first time in months today and saw how fast that thing was. It would be good to slow it down and make it more powerful. Just a tiny bit slower though.

I second that motion. Yes, it would be cool to see that fast, and kind of sleeker version of the needler. It looks to be almost as fast as the SMG.

Yeah it really looked to be an amazing gun, I was dissapointed to see it removed on release.

Needler grenade? So... pretty much add shrapnel to the normal frag grenades?

The Beta Halo 2 Needler was like an SMG.

He says it's actually worth using in Halo 2, not, still needs some work. It was mean't to go that fast.

Either way it's all good. The needeler, while dominating in the books from what I hear, is pretty much destined to be the laughing stock of the Halo video game series. I really don't believe that it will be a weapon that people slobber over any time they play that certain new map with the two needelers clustered together.
