Re: Sniper needler

In Response To: Re: Sniper needler (Rockslider)

: Yes, I remember that old post in which you mentioned your wizardly needler
: tweaking. And once again, I'm dribbling at the mouth quite badly just
: thinking about it.

I think I'll make a video of my various Needler tweaks that I use so much. Although I suspect there isn't much interest in Halo 1 tweaking goodness these days. Even if that's the case, I think I'll start recording one anyway.

: Meanwhile, I have an adjustment to make to my vision of a sniper needler. As
: the fast-moving needles approach, it would be nice if they make a faint
: whizzing noise, giving an alert player chance to start dodging even if
: they haven't actually seen the needles yet. This would much better for
: gameplay, than the instant-death business of H2's Jackal sniper weapon.

Oh yes, sniping Jackals and one shot kills, very annoying indeed.

Hmm, very interesting idea. I'll do some digging and see if I can do something about it.

In my description about making a sniper needler, I failed to mention that you can dramatically crank up the speed of the needle to sniper level speed. Doing this has it's drawbacks though, you miss the graphical goodness of the outgoing needle.
