When you can melee hunters on legendary (about everyone in the game), then you know something has to be done about them...

They should act more as "teammates" in halo 2, and learn to use their surroundings as they try to attack you... Make them us a wall to protect their "critical areas", and if one goes for the melee, the other will attempt to foil the spartans counter-attack... Like, he'll attempt to melee you as you go around his friend.

They could also have it that when they melee, they can alter their direction to counter your turn to move around them ...

And, they could also try to predict where your going... They calculate your distances away from them, how height/lower they are from you, what direction your moving in and how fast... So they can shoot ahead and try to have you run into the blast...

no hunters in halo 2 they left the covenant
I'm not shure about that. Frankie mentioned a couple of times about the new animations on the hunter. i just think they will give it a different (or a couple) of mele moves. and fix the gaping hole in the back of it's armor. then they will be a force to recon whith.

A force to recon whith, eh? Well if they were tougher, they would be useful in bringing with you whenever you were gathering intelligence on an enemy position. Of course, they would be a little conspicuous, but I would like to have one to watch my back in case I was spotted anyway. I think the chief would rather do his recon solo or with other Spartans though. Just my opinion


-sorry forstngman, I just couldn't pass that one up-

I didn't say they aren't in the game. And I apologize I haven't seen the Update that says that. I just find it odd, not in the screen shots, not in the videos, and not in the Xbox mag. And hopefully they will have all new tactics, armor, and weaknesses to explore.


oh u dumbass u already made an ass of urself trying to sound like u know all because u read XBOX mag. and now ur trying to make it sound like u were wrong and ur sorry what r u a newbie man if ur gonna step to somethin step to it correct with ur facts straight

Riceordie, do us all a favor and stop using up valuable recources like electricity, food, water and air, which could go to so many other far more deserving people. The subject isn't that important, so leave it alone. While you're at it, find a nice quiet place and kindly remove yourself from our genepool. Trust me, the world will be a better place that way, you could call it 'community service' when. . . .if you apply to a college or a job.

Hunters are very easy to kill... even on legendary. Step to left, run around behind, and smack them in the rear of the noggin. Its that simple. From the sounds of it, they will(i hope) a much greater challenge in Halo 2. Besides being beefed up armorwise, the AI will be much better. No more jumping past you, then sitting there looking around wondering where you went.
