Why did they change the look of the needler?

Games Other Halo
1

I took these two screenshots from two CEA videos

This one from August that was shown by Waypoint

And this one from gameplay shown by IGN and H4F

Ignoring the differing quality of the videos you can see the Needler was changed. I think it actually looks a bit worse now.

You can see in the needles themselves that they no longer have that hint of purple and blue in them and now look like pink crayons. The needles in the newer version look like they came from a game out of 2006 not 2011.

Different level lightnings… the needler seems to be the same…

3

Looks the same to me >_>

4

It’s exactly the same, as some one said above; “The lighting is different” and also if you didn’t notice the FOV has been changed and you can actually see the other quarter of the needle.

5

Is it because the newer needler screenshot is actually in the process of SHOOTING?!? The older screenshot is with the needler being still AFTER it shot its needles.

wut

Dude open more tabs.
OT/They look the same just different lighting, however the FOV has changed a bit.

8

Lighting is different in 343 guily spark so you can’t see the blue tinge, but it’s still there.

It’s the same Needler in both pictures, but under different lighting conditions. Both are the model used in Reach
