You know after you disable the shield in Sacred Icon, where an enforcer and a bunch of flood battle, and you might have a couple of grunts and jackals with you---CHr0n0sPH3r3

Lonely?
I found the Sentinel armed with the Needler in one of the crashed production factories, that's true. But it wasn't very lonely. It was right between other Sentinels and Enforcers. Rezo  'Scratoqee  (Talk) 19:17, July 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's lonely in that there is only one Sentinel with a Needler. The Lone Ranger is lone because he's a single Texas Ranger. He doesn't stop being The Lone Ranger even if Tonto's standing right next to him. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 22:45, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Explanation
Okay, after looking at the linked thread, it's clear that the explanation we have isn't accurate. Evil Otto looked at a video of the NS and said "The needler sentinel that was cut from the game dropped a sentinel arm weapon (identical in appearance to the beam weapon) that shot small red needles. It even had its own unique sentinelly, needly crosshair and pickup image." and "There was a time when we had a sentinel red needler weapon, but it looks like it did, in fact, get completely cut after all and that this little dude is some aberration of a different variety that our test team missed."

Later on, Dojorkan suggests "I wouldnt say its a glitch just a mistake. Say of they use a drop down box to select a weapon from the list of weapons, his mouse could have simply slipped and selected a needler."

I say we reword the given explanation to say it was considered but rejected, and perhaps present Dojorkan's suggestion. Or not. Speculation not to be encouraged and all. In any case, this deleted needler weapon for the Sentinel should be noted somewhere. If not given its own article, maybe just merged into Sentinel. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 19:29, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
