The Ban Hammer is all that was and all that will be! The Ban Hammer is time and space, life and death! The Ban Hammer can see into your mind! The Ban Hammer can see into your soouull....

Now I know you all think the needler is Ghey, and is ridiculous at times in Multiplayer/Campaign. But think of it like this...What if the needler just got a slight adjustment. One that would make it a LOT more useful. Let me explain.

When you melee, you should melee with the needles on the top. when you do, whatever needles are in it stick into the person. And as a special action of the needler, your foot comes up and kicks away the person you just Stuck full of needles before they explode in violence.

NOW imagine, an empty needler, and you just go around kicking people off ledges and cliffs. Possibleh kicking corpses. This would be the secondary melee, only made for the needler.

Now I think THAT would be kewl.

there is not point in saying hey i got a 40- HIGH RANK MEANS NOTHING, it means you either bridged host or cheated...and the skillfull player like myself have 27s cause of cheating.

Actually, needlers are very effective against those with overshields or spec ops elites.

So the Master Chief and Arbiter only know how to kick when they have a needler in their hands?

The Needler is actually good. You must know how and when to use it.

Kick, no. Sticking a couple of shots into the bad guy when you melee? I like that idea, give the needles a few seconds before they explode, of course.

Cheif does that in Halo 1!


If you don't like the needler, just don't use it. However, I would like to have a Needler that is very similar to the one in the E3 Zanzibar demo.

And Brutes. Nothing really wrong with the melee itself. It's just that it's firing is a bit..inflexible compared to Halo.
