Well, with the brutes around, what's the use for hunters? brutes are stronger, faster, and have a giant plasma launching gun, don't they? What's the difference?

Hunters are in Halo 2. Frankie mentioned they were being worked on (I dont remember how) in one of his updates a few weeks ago.

i dont think the covies would want to use them too much anymore, ever since those two hunter's in first strike(near the end) i think they have to rework their tactics bout where to use those behemoths...

I'm sure that the Hunters will return....but as for how they're used, my guess is as good as yours.

The hunters are in the game. Frankie told us in an weekly update they are returning for sure.

i think bungie made the covenant smart enough not to take there most powerfull unit off the battlefeild, sure there not smart, but when was the last time a elite killed you with one shot? maybe the prophets get a clue and figure out how to give the hunters some armor on there lower back, or maybe the AI will be better so they wont just charge you and expose there backs, maybe then they will make the hunter a reason to be scared( i remember the first time i saw one in the game, on the gravpad, i ran....for a while..... )

If the Hunters return, I want them to be harder the kill. The Hunters are huge, strong, with an awesome weapon...and you can kill them in one shot. They should put an armor plate where the hole in the back is, make them alot smarter, and give them a better chance of hitting you when they melee.

Maybe Hunters will be used in smarter ways... like being the head of a formation or doing some shielding for Elites... They would be the defenses for troops moving out. So instead of working solo (or in pairs), they would be part of a troop of enemies and work in tandem to make it hard to kill.

Perhaps you haven't played Halo recently. Hunters are a hell ov a lot stronger than Brutes. Brutes are stronger than Elites though. There gun is not as powerful as the HUnter's also. Hopefully the Hunters will not have the weak spot because then they'll truly be badass. Oh by the way, yes they will be in Halo 2.

According to the Head Prophet in First Strike, a Brute can "rip apart even a mighty Hunter"...so Brutes are stronger than Hunters.

Hunters are strong, but not REAL strong. They just look strong because of all the armor they wear, and they look even bigger in combat form.
