no. You need to remember that the chief is on his own, stranded. The only weapons that will still be availiable to him are human weapons, such as the Battle rifle (as the DMR was a pre-set to the battle rifle)
The needler is a covenant weapon and the covenant will not be in this tale. As I have said before, Facts point towards the game being based around the forerunners, the forerunners being the technology the covenant based their technology on.
This means that we will see similar weapons that the covenant use ( plasma, needlers e.c.t) but they WILL NOT be the same weapons. For a start, the covenant made the needler based on forerunner technology called Hard Light, same as the Energy sword. The needler was a covenant creation and therefore will not be in the game, but the needler was based on forerunner tech. The only true example of this are the guardians in halo 2 which foired red needles (on the library levels)
Any weapons we get that arent from the chief's armoury will be forerunner in nature and thus will be highly advanced weapons being either beam weapons or Hard light weapons. The plasma pistol for example was a cutting tool used by the forerunners, but unable to fully replicate forerunner technology, the covenant turned it into a pulse weapon. There may be plasma pistols in halo 4, but if they are, they will be continuous beams.
There will definately be no ''needle rifle''
if you like, I can make a list and description of all forerunner weapons/battlesuits/mechs and ships.
