When they added the plasma grenade assassination in Halo 5, I realized they could totally make a needler assassination just like this. Would be so damn cool
prime idea for infinite
Ah yes, assassinate a Kat cosplayer in Infinite with a crystal from a Needler and family members.
I don't want it as an assassination, though. I want it as a functional weapon mechanic. Like you hold down the melee button to wind up while a kaleidoscoping handle extends out for a powerful melee attack. This way you could rev it up as you round a corner and slam it into someone, and it would become a legitimate mechanic of the weapon. And the balancing aspect would be that it only does does regular melee damage unless you have enough ammo left to actually trigger the super-combine. As in, if you only have 2 needles it's a waste of time to rev up.
So while an assassination would be cool, this could be so much more and more fun.
@@Will_Forge that’s a really good idea, but unfortunately I doubt 343 would actually consider doing something that unique. Honestly kinda sounds like a Destiny exotic idea.
We can only dream
This could’ve been 10x more graphic but I appreciate that you kept it within the halo parameters
A head popping like an overcooked hotdog would be a cherry on top
The head definitely exploded INSIDE the helmet, which to me is way more graphic
@@diswazzi1683Not with the grunt the dude made.
@@retrobat1631exploded afterwards
Halo was originally meant to have gore
Before I ever played any halo, I assumed you hit people with the sharp end of the gun. It was saddened to find out that you don't. But then immediately delighted to see my enemies explode.
Fyi, you could do this in CE.
If you want to see for yourself, you can get a copy of custom edition online and find a key. It's considered abandonware. Can be quite fun.
Also happens in infinite I'm pretty sure
nothing can compare to dual-wield needlers in H2's online glory days... I can still hear all the lil pissed of kids to this day yelling at me through xbox live 💀
Subanese Crystal is amazing like that.
In the lore there are Jackal space pirates who carry daggers with blades made of the stuff, and they just.. jam it into whatever they're fighting and run as the dagger explodes.
This gave me a crazy idea. What if, in halo, you got a cool animation that played whenever you melee killed an enemy from behind? You could call it an “assassination”. Maybe they could add that to Infinite
Hmmmm, sarcasm?
That’s in another game, call of duty
That was in halo 4 first. Did they omit it from halo infinite?
Have non of these people played halo reach? Some fr said call of duty and halo 4😂 smh
@@EdmundButer sorry, i forgot halo reach had them first
unironically i think stuff like this would be a goated idea, certain weapons giving assasinations some sort of special effect, like the supercombine being used as an explosive, sounds either really fun, or super annoying.
The ui won't handle it.
I always thought that when they gave the energy sword its own one back in Reach
@@robjsmilesand the hammer in 5
Losing an entire clip for one assassination seems like too much. I'd just switch to my secondary and use it instead
@@Americanbadashh
Though the resulting blast should cook off grenades and any explosives nearby for clowning situations.
The explosion and spin just before he hits the ground is the icing on the cake. Beautifully done
This concept for an assassination has been in my head since 2010. Seeing it fully realised is incredible. Love you work.
No it hasn't
I remember always wondering why there wasn't a needler specific animation, now I see how glorious it would be
There was in the very first game Halo: CE, but that one didn't trigger as often as the normal one and didn't have the supercombine effect and kick shown in this animation.
Yeah because it would be really annoying to lose a full magazine of ammo every time you melee an enemy.
Yo this is fucking sick
Imagine if it was always like this! Although, I don't think I would be happy about using a full mag of ammo for a melee attack
ACT MAN SUGOI SAMA 🥰😍
YOOO! You here too!
Good balancing to. You just use up a whole magazine on a cool execution instead of 2 or 3 kills per mag.
Yoooooo... The Acting Male
That's genius, I always thought that's how the hit should work but the explosion is a great touch
Right? You have these explosive needles and you hit them with the back of the gun? I need this as a mod
Idk why but that little shake of the weapon as the needles extend is so satisfying to watch
Yeah it's like it's recoiling from the force. It's also cool how their left hand clenches when it happens
The very first time I ever saw the Needler, *this* was exactly how I thought we’d use the melee function. Should’ve been a small damage bonus for keeping a full “mag” and just stabbing someone with it.
Y'know, outside using the whole mag, I always wondered why they never meleed like that.
Edit: 1, I stopped at Halo 5.
2, *jesus christ, calm down.*
The one in combat evolved used the needles in the melee but no supercombine happened
If i remember correctly Halo 1 was the only one where they used the spiked end of the gun to melee.
They did
Come to think of it that’s a brilliant mechanic. The melee does more damage the more needles it has in the mag, and potentially supercombine exploding the enemy. But if they are about to supercombine you need to run away or the explosion will damage you too lmao.
Waste of ammo and higher probability of killing yourself
That was one brutal creative assassination.
The Spartan tapping on the shard to examine the Needlers ammo, and disengaging the Needler is a neat addition.
I also liked the part where i clicked on the video and then it started playing. Did you notice that too?
@@TheNuDiabolicno tbh
I also liked *everything in this video*
NPC comment
kkyyyysssss
It was so painful that youtube thinks this a super mario bros 2 video
Ever since I'd seen a needler I'd always imagined some sort of way to whip it around like this, mulling over how to do it fluidly and swift like the halo 2 melees. I'd think "there's no way to turn that thing around and then swing in the opposite way in time" -- and here you've gone and made it look so seamless. Well done!
This was absolutely _Vile_ levels of pain infliction. Just another demonstration of why the Needler is magnificent. Fantastic my dude.
The needler is a must have if you’re playing halo plus the weapon is just cool as hell
He wasn’t alive long enough to feel the pain, neck would’ve been better for that
@@AngelRosarioYTBeen playing Halo for years, MCC is a godsend for adding Bandanna for almost every Halo game, you can finally go wild with weapons like these for funsies.
Reminds me of the halo ce melee where they actually would back hand with the pointy part, guess it was too much engine wise back then to have it stick and go off
That animation was actually reintroduced in Infinite. It’s a random chance to get, as there’s another default animation for needler melee. Which has been a variant of what we’ve seen since Halo 2.
Shame that we don’t got assassinations in Infinite..
Kinda prefer the one in Reach where it's much more swift. The CE one took way longer
@@TorchicNidoran1994 True, but I think in Infinite, it has the same amount of time for melee animation. Still pretty beefy feeling for this alien funky weapon.
It’s just an animation it’s not an engine thing..
@@juliet4093 it would be an engine thing if the needles stuck in and then exploded it would be handled by the engine and not just an animation, which is why I said CE probably couldn’t have done it were it on the table cause 1 and 2 were held together by chewing gum and paper clips
always a joy to see your work hyper
the weapon reloads in titanfall2 really were a part of the entire gameplay joy, thank you
That was awesome! Your animations are absolute god-tier. Thanks for sharing :D
You know as a child I played halo reach and I always imagine the idea where you can use the needler spikes as a melee or as an assassination kill.
It is a crying moment for me to know that you put my thoughts into a animation when I long forgot it, and I thank you.
In the lore the Jackals made knives out of Blamite (The needler ammo) that explode when embedded
It was already done years before Reach in Halo Combat Evolved. In that game the needlers melee uses the spikes. They are also used for one of its melee animations in Halo 4 and 5
@@Top_Hat_Walrus They don't detach or do anything special. In Reach, the energy sword has unique assassinations.
Was literally thinking the same thing, the introduction of the assassination mechanic definitely took my imagination in some creatively brutal directions back then
Thunbern, funny running into you here.
Honestly wondered why this wasn't a thing when I played the first game back in the day.
It is in the original game
MC definitely slams the needles side on enemies with the needler melee in Halo CE. He takes a bit of time afterwards to get the gun back in his grip. It's not everytime but it's definitely not rare
@@christieblackwood7807 In Super Mario Bros?
How is it that every animation you do ends up going viral. Great work as always!
Because they're amazing. Obviously
The little cute tap on the spikes was a touch of whimpsy
Hyper never disappoints with his animation
I've had this animation in my head for years since CE. Thank you for making it a reality!
Genuinely surprised this isn't a thing already.
This is my favorite Super Mario Bros 2 animation
I really love the idea of doing this as a reload cancel melee that uses the remaining ammo or something like that. A halo 5 "Gun punch" really reminders me of the pitchfork shotgun from dead rising 2
Imagen if the plasma Granada didnt explode untill you threw it meaning you could have one cocked forever and them melee someone to stick it on them.
This is what I've wanted the needler melee to be since day 1
I knew I'd find You here
I knew exactly what was going to happen before even playing the video
In the words of Nathan Explosion, Brutal.
I was expecting the user to explode too when they touched the spike out of curiosity
Maybe that impact isn't enough?
@@figo3554Or maybe it has to be multiple
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.57 don't comment again
@@DaGalaxyBoyusually it takes around 8-12 to detonate I think
That would have been amazing 😂
Who agrees this should be a mechanic for the more rare needler version
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.57shut up
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.57stfu with your bs
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.57no one cares
For a weapon variant version, absolutely
Why not just the regular one?
Loved this. Never stop making videos, please :)
Love your animations Ranon. You’ve mastered weight and the feeling of realism in your style to a T. It’s like visual candy for my eyes.
I'd love to see this in Halo but the only thing would be that you definitely need to have the shield depletion animation like other assassinations. This looks amazing
It's way too long to implement in an actual game, it would break gameplay.
@@Nitidus Assassinations in the older Halo games were always slow but people used them anyway because they're cool. They can't break gameplay if it's opt in anyway, like they were in those games.
@@Nitidus The animation itself is roughly 3 seconds long. Not much longer than your typical assassination
Would the needles be able to get this visceral with the shields on? I like to think this one was done to a spartan with depleted shields.
My only little gripe is I didn’t see the energy shield break upon impact. But otherwise, I loved how creative and brutal the animation was.
The explosion into the spin out is such a nice animatic flare!
HYPER UPLOAD
I'm so happy
Damn I love how the plane goes up like a halo ring, best detail of the animation :D
It’s a skybox the plane doesn’t actually go up
Always wondered and secretly hoped that we could just outright HUCK the needler at enemies like a brutal throwing knife xD.
Come to think of it, A needler could damn near be the Halo equivalent of a Tediore weapon from borderlands.
ok I know this is unrelated but I find it so funny how different the energy of your pfp and your actual comments are lmao
Imagine a needler grenade
@@Bluetheartist The creature absorbs the knowledge and life force from each victim. Its thoughts and words are a choir of voices, all unaware of each other or their collective fate. And still it sings
@@Bluetheartist Or they're just nice I dunno
@@Jack_Canty Simply round and kind ^.^
Just fun to comment when I get the chance :D
That is a badass animation. That’d be super satisfying in game, nice work
"You're going to the fuckin' Blamite dimension, Spartan. I don't make the rules."
Now THAT is an execution, so awesome! 🔥💯
Honestly it feels right at home with the games. It reminds me of the Gravity Hammer and Energy Sword animations where if you ran out of ammo in them you'd have to resort to standard melee. I imagine the same would happen if the Needler had the same feature.
bro if the Needler ran out of needles, what would you have to stab a mofo with?
Son. The needles on that needler look SUPERB. Man I wish there was a mod to make Halo looks like this
Im in love with these animations ❤
Good ol days in Super Mario Bros 2 when you could violently assassinate spartans with a needler
That’s how I always imagined the needler melee would realistically look
The execution was wanted and needed for decades, but never got. Thank you.
the sound design on tis video is a postive compliment beyond the letters shown by this simple machine known as a computer
I already knew what melee animation this was gonna be. It’s still one of my favourite melee animations of all-time, and I love how you elevated it!! 🔥🔥
Well yes considering it’s in the title everyone knew what animation it was
@@1stKills That’s my bad! I meant more as in I knew what the specific Needler melee animation he was going to recreate since there have been quite a few different animations! I should’ve clarified in my original comment, but I was too excited lol. It’s this melee and the Halo 1 Magnum melee animation where he flips the Magnum that hit that dopamine hard. Sorry for misinterpretation! 😁
@@TheGamingNobilityMan I'd wish I knew how to animate like this it looks cool it'd probably take time but the end results are worth it
I have been wanting to see this for so long! I have imagined a spartan doing this too many times and this is a perfect representation of what I would love to see in a halo game!
That was honestly really good!
The needles exploding afterwards is just the cherry on top. Oh so satisfying.
Every time I forget this man’s channel exists, he comes back with another banger 💯
so true XD
Imagine accidentally tripping and landing on the needles
don't run with sharp firearms, kids!
Believability over realism. Love your animations!!!
This is a work of art! 🎨✨️👌
Oh my god I’ve always wanted to see someone animate this the minute I heard halo was getting finishers (assassinations)
Thank you for putting that childhood dream into reality
The way they keep at that poor spartan, my god that is one brutal animation. Great work, you keep surpassing my expectations and I applaud you for it.
That was extreamly well thought out and powerful! 😮
The animation we've wanted for years!
cool animation. the impact is felt so well!
Best execution ever. Hyper never fails to deliver.
And THAT'S how it should have been.
I have always wanted to see in one of the halo games, it just makes sense for the needler to do this!
Thank you for bringing a dream I've had since childhood to life!
The man, the myth, the legend returns!
I knew I wasn’t the only one who’s thought of this! This needs to be in the Halo games, it will definitely give it back the edge that it’s been missing for 2 games now
in infinite the melee with the needler uses the spiked end like ce
Exactly what ive been wanting the melee attack to be for this weapon
Holy crap you took an idea I've had for sooooo long and made it into an amazing animation! This is so sweet and hope to see it in any Halo some day
Thats an absolutely sick animation dude!
I've always thought of this being an assassination since reach, but seeing it exactly how I hoped looks is even better, the kick was the cherry on top.
Loved that animation!
My favorite firearm in Halo. You did an amazing job as always
I feel like the whole halo community bas been subconsciously thinking about this idea lately. I literally was wondering about that the other day and voila this video. Nice work btw!
DUUUUUDE the SHEER SWAG and OOMPH this portrays is so awesome!!!! You're so insanely talented and every animation just has more drip than the last
This will make a fine addition to my collection.
I've genuinely been waiting to see this animation since I first saw the gun all those years ago. Noice.
Halo animations from you are an absolute blessing, I can only dream of you animating for a new Halo dev!
Microsoft is about to own Activision if he's still there. It wouldn't make sense if he wasn't allowed to make animations for Halo.
@@2023PerfectDark I'd imagine that he'd only want to animate stuff for a Halo game if the game were actually good, which would only happen if 343 finally got replaced.
@@drmigly Halo Infinite's been in a real good place since Season 4 and 5 is rumored to bring in Firefight and AI to forge for the first time in Halo history.
@@Americanbadashh No, it hasn't. Game's still unbelievably buggy, still runs horribly, and they've been adding in the ugliest looking armor. Seriously, all of the new armor is atrocious. It's like they brought back the Halo 5 armor designers to make all the new armor. Also, they still continue to charge you for this shit, so their greed is still clearly there.
Bruh why would you want to work on halo? Its a corpse.
God I love this. I always wanted to do that in the halo games but was disappointed I never could. So thank you for this.
Everything about this animation is just *CRISP*
Bro, that was amazing!
DAMN, THAT HAD TO HURT!
(nice animation as always, hyper.)
Not for very long.
I need a halo announcer custom voiceline for this
*ASSASSINATED*
"FAAACE LIFT."
PORCUPINE
*PINCUSHION*
That death spin was certafiably authentic
I was always imagining this exact thing as far back as Halo 2 and I always knew I wasn't alone
I’ve always wanted an assassination like this it’s badass. In lore I imagine the entire gun being spent like a grenade, just lodged in the back of a hunter or something
I loved the needler in Super Mario Bros. 2, maybe a bit op, but still fun!
you stole my stupid joke(
Bro pressed "F" to f that guy up
its so fucking wild that you made this! I’ve been thinking of this exact same thing since halo ce!
At first I thought it looked like a waste of ammo but I realize that you can technically use them as a human grenade if you're out of grenades
The added hang time the blast from the needles added is just the cherry on top, beautiful stuff
Halo should hire this guy...
The little spin after the explosion made it for me XD
This is both brutal and awesome! I always thought the needler would be a very savage melee weapon, with the exploding crystals making it even deadlier.
The Halo equivalent of stepping on Legos.
@gibleyman The Jackal Snipers have informed me that your proposals violate the Space Geneva Conventions.
Awesome work! I've imagined if the needler could do this since the Combat Evolved melee where it is swung needle-first into the target. There was a mod for Custom Edition that actually implements the needles sticking to the target when you melee, just like the video
I have been wanting to see that for literal years
This is superb. Truly epic
