HALO, the most powerfull weapon in the game

[gregory]

Well after completing every level in the game on Easy, Normal, Heroic and Legendary over and over i have come to the conclusion that my prejudice against the feminine, non testosterone spewing, delayed reaction having needler was unfounded.

Using the needler makes for easy kills on almost all enemies, and also makes for a great show setting off great chain reactions.

u are joking the nedler is shit the pistol is the best weapon in the game.
u can get easy one hit kills with the 2x zoom loads of ammo about nad is the best in multiplayer also.

they have beefed up the needler for the next one so u should love it.

Dude i fealt the same EXACT way will about a week ago. I watched my wife ply the game and she was the forst to beat it on legendary and this seemingly pussy ass weapon kicked some major ass in the right hands. It throws you off though because there is a delayed reaction time. But it kills everything except the jackals, their shields make them immune to it.

Try it out with some patience to get a handle on using it and you'll swear by it as well, especially for all the elites.

BTW, yesterday i killed a guardian (big blue dude with spikes and a cannon) by pistol whooping him to death. Hooray for me.

Man i love this game.

You can kill a hunter in 1 pistol shot on any difficulty if you aim for their orange torso. Takes less than 5 seconds. The needler takes way too long, slow ammo and slow damage time,

Oh yeah definitely you can. In fact i beat one the other day by doing the dance with him and pistol whopping him to death. It was fun.

The needler is a good weapon in single player mode, but the pistol owns in multy, tho needler does well in multy as well

nah in multiplayer mode there are only 2 weapons that are used and they are the shotgun and pistol. u use the shotgun at close range 1 hit kill and the pistol from distance.

the only other things are grenades and buts. I have played online and have never known anyone to use the needler. But i will give it a go, just to see.
