I really cant remember... I mean, when I started, I did it on easy, and went threw the game atleast 20 times before I was told to do Legondary... so I did normal, then Heroic, and then Legondary... and I had also been told about the pistol thing long before I moved up to even normal... so its really all a bler to me... as far as I can remember, I was like, "oh, bad -blam!- thing" and treated the thing like a Wraith...
Now Halo 2... I started out on Heroic, and it was twice as hard as Legondary EVER was in Halo.... When I saw the Hunters roll out in Outskirts, I was like, oh -blam!-, hunters! and no pistol! I mean, damn... here I am ontop of a base, holding off every imaginable enemy, when suddenly a wall explodes below me and two Hunters strut out like they just got a BJ from god himself... I was like, "whoa!" and sarge was like "you can do it" and I was like, "oh hell ya" and jumped down with my BR... I leapt behind them and unloaded a 3 rount burst into ones spine and was like... "oh -blam!-..." and died instantly... Then I tried it with the Turret and was happy...
The next time I ran into them was much harder... I was in the middle of a small platform and a Phantom shows up... I'm expecting a couple Elites, some grunts and Jackels, but no real problem... Two Hunters fall out and my heart sank till it fell out my ass... I was like, -blam!- -blam!-! and took green lava to the face... Check-point, try again... for the next 20 minutes I tried to get them to chase me and fall off the ledge... no good... then I managed to shoot one in the back with a sniper rifle and was like, oh baby!
The next time the Hunters posed an actual challange, I was on the level 'Gravemind' and thought I could shank them with a sword.... I was swiping his back like crazy, just unloading him and making him twitch so he couldn't attack... I cept him more or less still while I waited for my marines to get smart and start shooting him...
so... what have I learned about Hunters? if you dont have a sniper rifle your -blam!-... Rockets and Ruel rod rounds are good... gun-turrets are helpfull... but overall... Marines... Marines can slaughter the poor bastards...
Hand atleast one marine a beam rifle, and give the rest carbines or beam rifles of their own... those bastards will lay the mother -blam!-s down... I saw a Hunter charge at a Marine and reach up, preparing to finish him off... The marine ducked and fired a single round into the Hunters stomach as two other marines unloaded five Carbine counds into his sides.... the Hunter sinply fell over...
