Hunters are retards at times but I agree with a lot of you they should make them harder to beat...

I had another brilliant idea. If you don't like the fact that the hunters die with one shot to the back...how about not shooting their back?!?

Sometimes when I wan't a really hard chess game, I don't use one rook and one knight.

Self Control.

And nobody has praised me on my joke post U people suck!

(input lots of praise for Zeal here), and what is up with you, you seem more stressed than usual and not so conservative.

we can, nmot shoot them in the back, but then it IS wasting ammo, that could have been useful. As thier A.I. stands, even if ya dont wanna shoot them in the back, you can punch them till they fall down, which is just plain pathetic.

i think they should just take them out. theyre too easy. plus the brutes will prbebly take their place. if the brutes dont that unknown covie tat can flip warthogs will.

perhaps maybe, the hunter's movements and attacks wont be so, repetitive, where you cant just side step and shot, maybe you have adapdt to the changing attacks of the huner, maybe instead of raising his sheild up to attack all the time, sometimes he'll try to stab you with it....u know variations in their attacks so its always different

Or they could add new ranks to Hunters. ie, Red and Black armor (gold would suck on a Hunter).

With these new ranks what could be done is like a little extra metal plate on the just the Red HUnters' backs. While the front is covered as well as the back for the Veteran Blacks.

if someone thing doesnt have a weak point...

....how do you kill it?


well.. they could make it so that after its 100th shot to the chest...the armor will eventually be penetrated..no armor is completely bullet proof

i think the only improvement to the hunter they need to make is improved AI, so it doesn't just lunge past you. You have to trick it or snipe it in the back from a distance to kill the damn thing

Well on Legendary mode the HUnter dies after 99 pistol bullets.....that is if you don't shoot the weak spot or the shield at all. Or it 95 MA5B bullets to the chest. So around 100 bullets finally penetrating is already there.

i think it would be cool to have an energy shield on a hunters back. that way, you have to shoot it a ton.

Ey guys take no offence by this.
But isnt it just an at of a mad man to speak about things you dont have any idea of.
You dont know about the hunter, saying "I got a brilliant idea".
I think Bungie kinda much ignores that dumb statement.

Instead of having its back be its weak spot it should be its foot then. when u shoot it in the foot it owuld fall over. It would be hilarius to watch it trip.

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.

Ummm, actually, I don't know what you mean. The sniper rifle kills Hunters insantaneously, just like the pistol.

I think what Bungie is going to do is keep the Hunters' Weakspot the same. About 3 shots from the BR should take it out (if u shoot the orange).

Bungie will then vastly upgrade the Hunter AI, thus making it much harder for you to get a decent shot on its weak spot. The Hunter could be way better at screening Master Chief, and could block itself much better with its shield. Also, I think Hunters will like intentionally shield Grunts and other Covenant, acting like a riot-shield carrying person in Counter-Strike.

Sorry, must have missed it. If you wouldn't mind posting it again, I'm sure that I would praise you.

Or when you go to side step they counter by swinging the sheild back around and hit you in the face.

but if you want them to be real difficult to kill in halo2 there should be a part where you are attacked by like five hunters all at once.that would be awsome.

HUNTERS RULE!!!!!!!!!

I will always love/remember hunters as the "Great Noob-Killers" of Halo. Anyone person who has beat the game can kill a hunter without thinking about it, sure. But what I like is seeing the look on the persons face when he/she had first met the hunter. Classic. They would struggle for hours....respawn after respawn...and I would only laugh....

I actually don't want the Hunters to change...graphically I'm all up for it but hiding that weakspot would make them the same as Brutes to me and I think aliens need variety- then again I kinda would like to have more fun using the new guns in Halo 2 I mean think about it, you're gonna grab that copy and high tail your ass back to your house faster than a ghost with NAS ( or just known as Ghost on crack ) and you'll immediately want to use all the new weapons especially with due-....I change my mind. Put armor on those bastards. I wanna play with duel wielding NOW...


People keep saying how they just can't wait. I'm feeling that right now, and honestly I've never really felt this before- for ANY video game. Wow. This....I think I'm gonna cry. Oh hey Family Guy nevermind.

If their only weak point was their neck, that would be coo'. A hard weak point to hit.


I think you hit the nail on the head, i wouldnt be surprised if they did that.
