The Needler is a perfectly fine weaponit has tracking, a huge clip, its a big purple spike glove, cool colour and best result on impact...so why on earth would you not want to pick it up. This is going on Joe's statement at E3 and other people that have said it is useless.

The lock isn't that brilliant on it.

Quite frankly the Needler just sucks -blam!- on halo.

The needles are avoided dead easy on multiplay, unless the masses are fighting in which case it gets a lttle harder.

The needler rounds more realitivy slowly, tracking isn't great and it can be esaliy doged. But what the hell? IT LOOKS COOL!

actualy the needler is just a hard weapon to use but it is one of my favorites its vary powerfull all you need to do is lead a little. aside from the pistol the needler is my weapon of choice, its a skill thing.

The melee sucks, it may look painful due to the spikes, but it is slow compared to the other guns. The needler also is not plasma so you have to pick up ammunition. Bleh.

Yeah I only use them for elites, but multiplayer wise they just blow.

They suck in single player as well. I only use them when I'm desperate.

For me I don't like the Needler very much. But in the E3 video it seemed way more effectivy. It even said so in the weekly updates, so maybe the Needlers reign of suckyness will be over.

I have to admit that in multiplayer it does suck balls

The needler is good weapon. On legendary you can wipe out an elite quickly and easily, but against other covenant, it's pointless.

I think it has better tracking.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

What makes it worth using in Multi or in SP is the fact it has secondary explosions... if you take out a Grunt with one... he dies... well.. the remaining rounds explode and cause the plasma nades to go off as well. That can take out A LOT of enemies.... also.. in Multi it's just funny and shameful for someone to die by a Needler.... if you use it in a group of MC's... you will get mulitple kills...

Basically they've made the needles alot faster in halo 2. I'd say at least twice as fast.

In halo the needles sorta flowed out of the gun and chased the enemy, in halo 2 the needles seem to fly fast, in a straight line and hit the covenent and stick to them. Then they blow up.

Much harder to avoid, much quicker to kill with.

The needler can own in MP if it is used right.

I love spraying a grunt full of needlers, and they watch as the granades blow up, cousing the other to blow up... it can be very fun and may kill dosens of other if used right.

i absolutely love the needler, its just the skill factor in mp that makes it hard to use...and you get bragging rights when you pop a clip of pink stuff in the back of an unnoticing player.i wish the needles were just a little bit faster and that it wouldnt take 7+ to get an explosive result.

You guys think the needler is so bad but it is quite critical to winning on legendary. Whenever your holed somewhere with loads of weapons, you can pick up a needler and just spray pink spikes everywhere and whittle down the Cov so you can charge with your main weapons. I use it all the time and I always win. Or maybe it's just me :)
