This is the Halo 3 forum. As Halo 3 has not been released yet, nobody outside of Bungie has ever even seen a Halo 3 Hunter. They may not even be enemies, for all the public knows.

I think he is talking about the halo:CE hunters. Yeah i got scared as hell seeing them for the first time. I was playing with a freind and he said "look at this" and he just got crushed in one hit of the sheild (legendary) and i just started yeeling running backwards. It took us ages to realise that they can only get hurt on the Orange area. :~)

"The great thing about books, is sometimes they have amazing pictures"- George W. Bush

I'll just never forget my first time playing Halo: Combat Evolved campagin. Completely unimpressed by the demos shown in stores, I was sceptical but completely blown away. The greatest game ever created.

In Wells we trust.

My two main hopes for hunters are:
1. They revert to the old fuel rod cannon, but a bit more polished tha halo 1
2. Sometimes when they die, the orange eel-things spew out onto the floor (as described in Ghosts of Onyx)

I call shotgun - I call 9mm.

Halo 1, truth and reconciliation. I saw two big dudes come down the grAv lift. Wilt AR in hand i charged in all guns blazing. I soon found myself on the floor in a mess. I tryies it again, this time with a little melee, it just swung its shield and i found myself crunching off the nearest rock.. 3rd attempt i kept my distance and tried a few plasma granades. I remember the screen filling with green and what you know i was dead again. Then i got mad, and plugged them with every weapon i gould get my hands on. It worked, and i was happy once again.

It was interestting, let's just say the Hunter one the first round.

After reading Halo3.com again, it says in the Yanme section that they will be depolyed strategically against ground-based, large bipedal creatures. Guess what Halo3.com classifys Hunters under?

Should be interesting to see them fight off each other, maybe the bugs can land on their backs and melee their weak spots. And I'd love to see a bugger get snapped in melee by a Hunter.

When I first played Halo I was unaware of ranks and I just killed all the aliens, I played the PC Demo first so I didn't know the story, I thought they were all like evolved dinosaurs brought from the past, I killed the hunters and didn't even know they were hunters and my friends like "WAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It's all in the mind, and then I learnt they were super hard to beat on the difficulty and then they just became hard, damn my friend!

I'm a dude playing a dude desguised as another dude. I hate heritics, non-logical thoughts and people who are better than I am. People tell me that they like a lot of games, but I hate them all. Whenever I play a video game, I always go crawling back to Halo 3. Never go full retard!

I was astonished by how strong they were. all of the marines were firing at them at once, and the turrets too. None of them were having an effect and I was like "WHAT!". I was totally amazed. Now, I don't think that they are as deadly as I did when I first encountered them.

To play or not to play....

Lets just say I died a few times when I first met them in Halo CE. Then after a while I began to learn how to deal with them, At first I just filled them with needles or used a rocket launcher if I had one handy. Then I started playing twith them a bit. LOL I would stand near the edge of a cliff and when the Hunter tried to malee me Iw ould step aside and watch them go over the edge. I would then laugh and get taken out by its buddy *grin*.

Seriously though. Once you know their weakness' Hunters are far less of a threat and heck even easy to kill.
