i wonder if they are going to improve the hunters in halo 2...

they are probably the least worried about covie in halo 1 because all u had to do was sidestep him and one shot to the back with the pistol and he was dead

No.

Because many people kept on wondering if they would, improve this, and modify this, and fix that, this is whats going to happen.

Bungie is going to stop all work, they are going to go through every single line of code and make sure that it is EXACTLY the same as Halo 1. In fact, new characters are going to be old characters, there will be absolutely no new graphical improvements. Likewise, the storyline will be strikingly similar to Halo 1. They will recycle Halo 1 cutscenes. In order to add interest to the game they will be renaming every single level. All new weapons are hereby gone. Old weapons are completely in (retro is in) so hello MA5B. In fact the only changes to the game will be the addition of the number 2 after the word Halo. Level names will also be modified. If you have played Halo 1, then you will DEFINETLY be able to jump into Halo 2. You will find that it's like you never stopped playing HALO!




Ok come on guys. Every single line in Halo is completely new. New engine, new physics, new everything. Durr they are going to make improvements hence the number 2 besides the word Halo. Durr DUUR Duurrr.

I think the hunters will have slight modifications to their armor to make them a little different from the ones in Halo, but the weak spots will still be there.

All parts of their armor can deflect bullets, so sealing all the weak spots would be impossibly cheap. They would become literally invincible.

Shotguns do kill Hunters. Easily. If you are having difficulty killing a Hunter with a Shotgun, then your aim must be off. Trust me. I had the same problem until I readjusted my aim and, BLAM! You got yourself a dead Hunter right there, son. And by the way, the pistol is much more accurate than the Shottie.

yeah i can kill a hunter but think about it... one shot from a pistol takes down a walking tank and u need an entire shot gun to kill it...

take the standard rafle the marines use... u almsot waste an entire clip in it...

and one shot from a pistol can take it down...

something aint right there

My friend, it's all about accuracy. And the caliber of the rounds that you use. Anyway, back to what I was going to say. The AR is very inaccurate. I'm sure that you know this. If not, try the Pillar of Autumn. After you obtain the AR, sit in a corner and go full auto. You'll notice that quite a few rounds went wide of where you were aiming. Also, as I stated previously, the pistol has semi-explosive rounds. I'm sure that you could take a Hunter down with a full accurately placed clip of ammo from the from the AR. Maybe even less. See, the problem is that most of the rounds that you fire from the AR at a Hunter bounce off of it's armor. You'd have to get right up against the Hunter, and then fire. That is hard to do, though. So your best bet against a Hunter is to use a pistol or a shotgun. But preferably a pistol. Now when you say "walking tank", you're referring to the Hunter, and not a Wraith tank, correct? Because I can't really understand what you were trying to say, no offense.

yeah it was a hunter...

im just stating in the realistic factor... u sidestep a hunter and empty a clip of ar fire into his pink center point blank and it takes half a clip... one shot pistol takes it down...

now realistically, that shouldnt happen right?

or do i not know what explosive bullets means

It all depends on what difficulty you play on. I prefer Legendary. And I'm sure that you are talking about the Legendary difficulty setting also.
Despite the pistol being a pistol, it's explosive-rounds are much more powerful than the standard rounds. I do see your point, though. I've shot Marines in the head with one shot from the AR, and they survive. But one shot from the pistol, and they just bought the farm. A head shot should be an instant-kill (with video games, at least). With any weapon.

everybody keeps saying that there weakpoint should be gone. well what good is the weakpoint if the weapon (pistol) that relates to the weakpoint is downgraded (from what i have heard it is)?

If u want more of a challenge facing hunters just dont use the launcher, pistol or sniper. That way u cant kill the damn things in 1 hit. But anyway i do they should make em better becuz they kinda suck still.

i think that they overpowered the pistol in halo. i mean, in the military they don't just run into battle with a pistol. they use a machine gun. the pistol is way to powerful in halo.

You complain to much. It was a freaky .50 caliber round with hollow point explosive rounds. That is pretty damn big and powerful in real life mind you.

yeah but it is kind of ironic that a pistol was better than a frikin sniper rifle or machine gun.if ya know what i mean.

Sniper was better than the pistol. It just had one-third the ammo.

Hopefully, the weak spot on the back will be gone, and the only place where Hunters can be injured by bullet is on the neck, and their melee attack will cover a larger area. The only disadvantage that Hunters will have is they will be much slower with all their armor.

I also hope Hunters will come in different varieties. i.e. weapons, colors, armor.
