Sry if this has been mentioned b4... probly has, but i didnt see it.

So many beautiful screenshots of halo 2, plus video. We've seen all of the old enemies, and even some new ones, except the hunters... There are the rumors of the hunters splitting off from the covenant (probly not gonna happen) but i am just wondering what they look like.
Maybe in the near future we could get a screenshot of a hunter

btw i'm more interested in the single player halo2 than multiplayer halo 2, although both are gonna be friggin sweet

Don't worry Bungie probably saved the Hunters for last, or arent showing them cuz theyre the same as they were in Halo 1

I hope they still got that weakspot, I know it's cheap but, hunters with no weakspot would take a long time to kill.

maybe the hunters will be the new character only changed into a more powerfull creature!
i think bungie has something instore with the hunters but i also think where gonna find that out when we get the game in our hands!

I found that the hunter was just to easy to kill in halo1, so maybe bungie is gonna change that!

yeah, maybe removing the one hit kill thing, never really liked it once i learned about it, i just fist fight em if i dont have a gun with enough ammo, its so much easier.. (they really need to fix Hunter AI, too easy to beat! I know they will, maybe theyre giving the hunter new armour too! (like MJOLNIR 5 -6) an update from HUNTER 1 - 2 YAY!! with better mobility and less of a weakpoint!

lets give them energy shields while we're at it. seriously they might as well keep them the same but make the spot at the back a TINY bit smaller to increase difficulty

i hope bungie improve the hunter, i would like to see different weapons and different ranks of hunters. a gold-elite equivalent would be great.

i just hope that the weak spot is either removed or made so that more than one hit to it is needed, but does a lot more damage than hitting it in the armour. Just get rid of it!!

Oh and more melee moves.

i think that is more than likely, there we're only grunts and elites on the first level on the first halo, can't imagine a significant increase on halo 2's first level. bungie has to think of the new gamers and the gradual difficulty increase

yeah I bet they are gonna make em a lot tougher, they are supposed to be the most difficult covenent species and in Halo 1 then ended up being the easiest.

i think gold and black elites we're meant to be the toughest,but i know what you mean, even lowly blue elites we're more of a challange

yeah i would like to see them live up to their reputation of being the toughest ground fighters in the covenant too.

i'm sure bungie are giving hunters some new tricks. i'd love it if they had lots of melee attacks, like vertical and horizontal swings. and maybe they could fire their fuel guns even at extreme close range, cos they're tough enough to hack that.

maybe they should have other heavy hitting weapons for abit of variety, because lets face it thanks to halo 1 we are fuel rod hunter dodging masters

yeah some different weapons would be great, different tactics, much increased range (cos come on they should do better).

i'd really like to see them work as teams, cos they're meant to always be in pairs, so perhaps some gang-up tactics would be possible.

Hunters are to easy... I had wanted to see a screenshot of them, but now I don't really care because unless they make them better, I won't like hunters. The screen I'm looking forward to would be one that shows that mystery monster that can flip a 'hog.

Maybe Bungie is trying to make you forget about the Hunters so when you play Halo 2 and you a Hunter you'll be like wow i remember them.Or they could just be remaking their models and they dont want to show you. Or maybe the creature that flips warthogs is the hunter?

if find that quote so stupid;"a creature that can flip a hog"
if you had put your warthog near a hunter and you would lore him near you step a side he would hit the warthog with his melee attack that would sent the warthog flying so i find it a real stupid quote caus it was already possible by the hunter in halo 1!

what would be really cool is if your in a tank and a hunter attacks you, it could leap onto the tank and claw through the tank armour and pull you out of the tank

Hunters are probably getting a secret makeover from Bungie (note: not like "-blam!- Eye for the Straight Guy" hopefully)
You guys pretty much covered the weaknesses of hunters, so I won't bother paraphrasing it all. The most important thing hunters need however is an AI improvement, and they need it in a bad way. Right now, they're about as intelligent as a flatworm.

Come on Bungie, you could do better.

I agree about the weak AI updates. And tactics. Though and the thing about them getting on the tank and ripping you out would be awsome.
