The needler is only good in tight environments, at middle range and preferably target-rich environments. In Longest, it's one of the nastiest weapons barring the flamethrower.
Flamethrower is not *that* difficult to use, but it is certainly very nasty at times.
I have to say I agree a bit with the original poster: I indeed WILL use *noobish* tactics to win, like I did the other day - hiding outside a teleporter with a rod and spamming the next guy who came through.
Mind you, I only did that because 1: I had the flag and 2: the guy chasing me would have beaten me quite easily if I fought him with a pistol (0.7 on the Nessy-o-scale). So instead, I toasted his ass with a rod, and won the match.
