Its time to make the Needler a loadout weapon

Remember back before the game came out and 343 said the Needler was amazingly powerful?? Well it’s not and it should be moved to a loadout weapon! No one ever bothers to even pick the gun up on the ground, so that is a good indication that it probably isn’t very good. I love my needler and I want to use it, but it just isn’t good enough to pick when you get one of the stupid ordinance drops.

The concussion rifle should also be added as a loadout weapon, it’s a close range weapon that is outclassed by pretty much every gun in the sandbox so I am confused on why it’s a power weapon in the first place.

NO!!
Its already insanely powerful. it sure isn’t underpowered

I’m losing hope for Halo with each suggestion such as this.

Needler is to op for being a loadoutweapon, no skill to kill. Concussion dont appear to often so i cant say to much about that but it woud be interesting to try it as a loadoutweapon.

You must really suck with the Needler if you think it is underpowered.

The Needler is good as long as you know how to use it and get those supercombines.The Concussion Rifle could use a bit of damage increase from a 3 shot kill to a 2 shot kill, and also I’d like it to be able to flip vehicles like the Halo Reach version.

Needler is useful now doesn’t need to be a loadout weapon. God I love that pink death gun.

I don’t pick up the needler as often as I should, but when I do, it’s usually a guaranteed 3 kills in a row. If it was a loadout weapon, and therefore, easily refillable on ammo, I’d use it all the time, and there would be more threads about it than the DMR.

No the needler is fine. Concussion rifle totally blows and should be a 3 shot kill. I think its 4 right now.

I’ve suggested that the Needle Rifle return to the game as a Loadout weapon and that it’s ammo be interchangeable with the Needler Ammo. That would be pretty awesome and would encourage people to take the Needler as an Ordinance drop.

What the bloody hell did you just post? A decoded word?

FACEPALM

Did the Needler get a rate of fire increase? It feels much faster now in H4. It also feels like it got a range reduction in H4.

I think of the Needler as the Covenant Sub-machine gun.

LOL at concussion rifle,the only way I would pick that up is by accident.The needler is pretty average and I say that as a fan of the needler.

needler has the lowest skill use IMO for the ease of getting kills with it

i miss the submachine gun, just putting it out there lol

More in Halo 4 than ever before, I’m starting to notice straffing rendering the Needler completely useless.

I’ve gotten jumped on numerous times by people with Needlers and each time all I need to do is continue straffing to the left and pop 'em with my BR.

Is this a joke? The Needler is extremely powerful, it just doesn’t have much ammo. Which is why it’s a balanced POWER weapon.
