I was not expecting it to be back but I think it would have been great in halo 4, I’m kinda disappointed but I don’t care too much.
I loved to supercombine in Reach, sometimes I was not headshoting my opponnent on purpose to just see it explode, it would have been nice in Halo 4.
Not at all! It was a fairly ridiculous weapon.
Not really,Needle rifle was good,but they must have found a problem with it if its not in Halo 4
I kept telling the hopefuls it wasn’t going to make it. They wouldn’t listen…
Carbine FTW. Needle rifle will be missed though.
Slightly, but I will live.
> I kept telling the hopefuls it wasn’t going to make it. They wouldn’t listen…
This.
And no, I don’t really care. It’d be too similar to the Carbine. Right now we have 4 precision weapons that all act fairly different, and the Light Rifle more than makes up for it not returning.
Meh, needles still supercombines. No biggie
I will miss it to an extent, for it was a good Covenant nemesis of sorts to the DMR. With that said, I think it won’t be a big deal since the Carbine is basically the same thing (if you want to put it that bluntly) minus the supercombine explosion after three shots to an unshielded enemy.

Actually the needle rifle is very different, you could just hold the trigger and spray the guy with needles untill he supercombines.
Still, I’m kinda happy it is gone.
It was an awesome weapon, and I’ll miss the supercombines, but the Carbine will suffice.
Needle rifle would have been awesome, it was one of my favorite weapons in reach. If it had benn included then the covenant arsenal wouldn’t have been a complete let down for me(Reach covenant weapons were better).
It encouraged people spamming the trigger for a supercombine. Im glad its out, now if people want to kill they will have more sense to shoot at the head.
Not really. It tried to be the carbine and failed.
Not at all, it had to much bloom, it was under powered, which made it useless.
It was a cool-looking weapon that packed a decent punch when bleedthrough was in the game. Although with the Carbine returning, I didn’t expect to see my Dolphin gun again.
Whoever misses it obviously isn’t a Halo veteran and never experienced Halo 2’s multiplayer, in which case I feel sorry for them.
Nope.
We have Edit: 4 precision rifles as it is 
the reason it was out is probably the reason that most of you are dissapoint about. the supercombine. remember they said in the bulletin that neddles now supercombine sheilded opponents, and since 3 shots to the body= super combeine, im not suprised to see it out. although im still dissapointed, i wasnt very good with it to begin with.
Carbine > Needle Rifle
Thats all I have to say.
