Not a fan of the needler because two many times ive been voided(exploded) from behind in co-op mode. then my friend gets a sniper shot to the head point blank range.

Why do we keep talking about the needler? It gets boring.

Honestly i love the Needler for mp but when i play on Legendary i use a plasma pistol (not the over charge mode). i love the plasma pistol cause it shoots faster than the plasma rifle and ppl look at you like holy -BLAM- how the -BLAM do you get that pistols rate of fire up. then im like like this and my finger hits the trigger at like 120 mph on fire and puts out like 8 rounds faster than someone can run then i punch the Elite in the face like 5 times and he dies. and they just look at me like wtf mate and my girlfreind looks at me with that hey save some of that for me(she's quite happy with me for some reason-says she's VERY satisfied w/e).

Yeah, I prefer plasma pistol also. My favorite thing about it is that you can straight up punch their lights out. My opinion on the needler, its only use is to blow away elites while they are alone. Other than that... THEY SUCK!!!!

I love needlers they are my favorite covenant weapons. I love the sniper rifle ask any one that knows me. I am a born sniper. However for close combat I almost always pick the needler or the shotgun along with gernades. I have been playing Halo from almost the day it came out. I still play it like it is a part of my daily life and I cant wait for Halo 2.

Guys, guys! Stop saying Needlers are usless against Jackals! It is all how you use them! You circle around a group of jackals and aim at thier sides and... Your right, Needlers stink...

Not my favorite weapon, but I definitely use them. I find that I am using them more on campaign as I work the harder skill levels: Great on elites in corridors or in wide open spaces. My fave trick is to unload an entire clip on a group that is packed in tight: almost as satisfying as a successful rocket launcher attack.

They are also good in mp if you are going up against someone better than you on tight maps: Just unload the clip, and even if you die, so does he.

Needlers are ok.

It takes too long to kill an enemy. While you are waiting for the needles to explode, you are still getting shot. Plus it takes a third of a clip to kill a grunt. Great for elites though, and very satisfying.

I only use needlers in battle creek in multiplayer. That map is too confined for dodging.
