Nice job Vince! As you can see, you've made slot #6 on the list. Now don't you feel like you accomplished something :-)

I've got two Halo discs and neither one of them will load campaign. I don't know what the deal is here.

More breaking news: I've managed to kill the Hunters on The Ark on SLASO without making them fall of the edge! Turns out the sniper rifle will have the same effect on the Hunters as the Magnum. Granted with only one person to fight them it took a while for me to kill them, but I did it, and it worked very well! I'll make a GameVee vid of this too when I get the chance.

Loose talk is noose talk.

So what are you guys going to do about the new skulls apparently coming out soon? That's the reason I've temporarily stopped my SLASOing. It would suck to beat the game with 13 skulls on only to find out Bungie added 7 new skulls.

Great job.

I think they're being added to the new maps actually. Since one of the skulls is called the Assembly skull, and one of the new maps is called Assembly, it makes sense. In that case, there are at least 6 new maps in the works right now if that's true.

Our theory is that the skulls will have no effect to campaign. It sounds pretty sound since you really can't make those kinda changes to campaign without totally new versions of the missions.

To Starocean: Nice find! So how many sniper rounds did it take?

Still... I don't want to be on a one way train towards unhappy town.

Oh thank gawd! My campaign maps are loading again! :-D

  • 09.07.2008 5:35 PM PDT

I was just on screwing around with the Hunters on the Storm. The Magnum does have a stun effect, and if you keep the timing of the shots right, as soon as the Hunter finishes staggering, you can shoot him to cause him to stagger again.

Eventually I killed them both by beatdowns.

Edit: Tyrant, don't forget to update my status in the SLASO group.

You'll definitely have to show me these methods. I'm always looking for new ways to deal with Hunters.

  • 09.07.2008 6:48 PM PDT

Killing a Hunter with melees isn't so bad, really...even if they aren't in a berserk state, as long as it's one-on-one...it's very possible. It just requires excellent reaction as well as knowing how they'll attack based on where you're standing. Some of their attacks come off a lot faster than others, and are plenty strong enough to kill.

  • 09.07.2008 7:53 PM PDT

I find meleeing Hunters to death isn't that hard either, it's just more risky. I tried the magnum battle with the Hunters again and managed to kill them both in about 2 minutes.

I'm still working on the Hunters on The Ark, and it takes a fair bit. I'll give you a more specific number when I'm done.

  • 09.07.2008 8:03 PM PDT

Forgive the double post, but I managed to repeat killing the Hunters on The Ark! I'll be uploading the how to vid onto GameVee shortly. It took me about 11 minutes to do.

I carve a notch in my wall for every stall,

That's quite a feat, I could have sworn seeing this thread like 6 months ago, guess it's an attention grabber.

Yes I would definitely like to see it.

Thanks!

Congratulations Vince. Hopefully I'll be number 7 :)

If you can manage to find a Bubble Shield, bring that with you. When the fight starts, wait about two seconds and drop it. It should break right around the time Guilty Spark gets hit by Johnson.

Other than that, you're going to want to do as much strafing as possible to dodge his attack. If I remember correctly, when he is floating more on the right hand side, his beam will start at the left. And vice-versa. Just keep an eye on where exactly he's looking.

Jumping his beam is actually fairly simple. Watch the video I placed in the OP.

  • 09.08.2008 10:01 AM PDT

I think I'm going to practice my Hunter fighting on the Storm. It's actually not that bad...if you get over by the door, there is an unmovable open container that you can wait in to shoot at the Hunter's backs. And you're also just far enough away to avoid getting 'naded to death. Oh! And there are two open dumpsters. I think one of the times I am going to go hide in one.

I'm struggling with The Ark at the moment. Can't concentrate because I have a cold :(
I keep sneezing/coughing in the midst of a fight.

I find that if you remain perfectly still, his beam will always miss at the start, then you just need to strafe left or right to avoid it.

P.S. No CLASO for me tonight, sorry.
