Needler: A better reload animation

Go to 0:18 here.

That animation makes more sense, and is the same speed as the normal Needler. Can we have this one instead of the usual one?

I like it, it actually uses those little “needler mags” from CE.

yea it makes more sense for it to reload like that. knowing how powerful the neddler is. it also had a very fast reload. this could balance the neddler a little.

Wow I actually really like that animation.

Take notes for Halo 5 343i…

looks good.

I love his shotgun redux, too. Shotties No Shields on Battle Creek was fun.

Errrr no thanks. The traditional Needler reload is iconic, I’d rather keep what we have than having a reload which which we already have for multiple other weapons(Cough Fuel Rod, Covenant Carbine).

you’d rather the needles materialise out of thin air?

I don’t understand this… so does the egg go in and needles come out, or…? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d rather have the iconic Needler aspects we’ve had since CE, and besides, I’ve always assumed the crystal within the Needler sprouted out more needles.

I like it. I think it would seem more reasonable for the needler.

The thing is, the Needler is supposed to be mysterious. In Halsey’s Journal, she says that the UNSC have no idea how it works or how it reloads. The classic reload makes more sense in the story/canon than that one does.

He wants to stick to the original needler reload style.
If that consists of the needles materializing out of thin air, then yes.

That was actually a pretty good animation.

By 2557, it would’t be mysterious anymore. Covenant tech is based off of Forerunner tech, so if the Humans have made Forerunner-based weaponry, than making Covenant-based should be child’s play.

That looks cool and all, but I prefer the old mysterious way.

I agree.

Please see my previous comment.

I thought all of the needlers reloaded like that . . . Man, I must’ve not been paying attention when using that thing!

But sure, I like that reload.

I always wondered how the heck the Needler was reloaded.

I like this new reload animation, but it seems like it would be inconsistent with the other Needlers in past games.

The Needler looks cooler with blue spikes.
