Halo 4: A Closer look at the New Sniper and Needler
A couple of new screenshots have surfaced of two previously unrevealed weapons in Halo 4. Those two weapons are the Sniper Rifle and the Needler.
The Sniper Rifle is a large, bulky weapon that's obviously of UNSC design, and comes equipped with a large digital scope. Its reveal has met with a mixed response from Halo players, who criticized its 'retro' looking design, especially in contrast to the sleeker sniper rifle model in Halo Reach.
Others welcomed the new sniper rifle, and added that they hoped it wouldn't render vehicles irrelevant to the game, as the sniper rifle in Reach could easily destroy any vehicle.
Despite its comparisons to the Barrett .50, "nobody plays Halo for the authenticity of bullet damage," is the common argument.
The other newly revealed weapon is the Needler, which appears to be a handgun that fires crystal shards. Its appearance is reminiscent of the Needler in the first Halo, and it seems to sport a wide reticule like the one in Halo CE.

Phracture I like the loos of that sniper! But don't see much change in the needler. :|
I never did like the sniper due to the fact that it has 4 cartridges per magazine.

I never used the Needler much, but the Sniper looks awesome. It's all futuristic and stuff. Gonna be great sniping in Halo 4, hopefully it's something like Halo 3.

BritishColumbia The needler kinda looks the same, buttt the sniper looks amazing !!
Spot on! :)
XexMaster im not a fan of halo but these look pritty cool guns :)
They are really good guns...
Endeavor I don't know, I don't play halo but when I have played it I've used both those guns and they look the same
The needler does but not the sniper.
Any To me, it kind of looks like they cut down on graphics budgets.. They should have put more into the guns instead of the maps/surrounding sounds in my opinion.
Yeah I hope they do include some new guns! :)
