Projectile weapons
Isn't the brute shot also a projectile covenant weapon? Because it isn't included right now, and maybe it should be added. The only reason I didn't add it already is because I couldn't get a specific answer out of the Brute Shot page.
- Yes, it is, and yes it should be added, --ED(talk)(shockfront) 19:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I have deleted the whole "only projectile" weapon sentence because its unneccessary, and untrue. The covenant use many projectiles weapons including the needler, carbine, brue shot, fuel rod cannon, spiker, etc. I have also cleaned out a lot of the unneccassary junk from this article so the clean up tag might be removable now.

Inspired by the Flechette?
The page said the Needler was inspired by the Flechette from Marathon Infinity. That seems kind of unlikely...they have nothing in common except a fast rate of fire. Source? -The Dark Lord Azathoth 21:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Needler Pistol? Eh?
In GoO, the page introducing Voro Mantakree to the reader, said that he pointed a needler pistol at Tano's head. What, are these regular Needlers, or two different Needler-like weapons?- hahahahahahahahahaha! you're just jealous cause I have the LONGEST, FRICKIN', NICKNAME here! Aughwahahahahaha! 02:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC) I think needler pistol was Eric Nylund's way of diffentiating between the dual wieldable needler and the two handed needler.

From Talk:Needleer
Don't we already have a page for the Needler? Plus, the name of the article is spelled wrong. --File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo

Grunt manufactured?
The description box says that the Unggoy has created the needler... where is that specified??
Also, "it is widely believed that they use heat or organic signatures to home in on targets." I agree to the organic signature as a means to guide the needles, but the article specifies that the needles dosen't home to stealth elites and stealth generators actually emit heat. So we may assume that the needles rely on something else than heat to find their targets. --Ravenshaw123 21:55, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Or that stealth generators suppress organic and heat signatures. And I would like to know where the grunt manufacture comes from to. Justin Time 21:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Only they don't, according to Halo: The Flood. And Grunt manufacture seems like crap to me, would a proud Elite use weapons invented by Grunts? -76.235.215.125 21:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Reload
apparently, CMT found a way to reload the Needler:
apparently, the top part flips off, revealing a compartment to put the "egg" crystalline clip into!
I reckon that all the ammo the needler will ever need is stored inside the weapon somehow in the form of that elongated glowing football-shaped crystal (or something similar), and only a portion of it can be processed into the spikes at the top of the weapon at any one time. Thats why you never see anything being insterted into the weapon in-game. Diaboy 10:47, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
