You know what? Every Covenant has been shown (except the secret ones in development) except the Hunters! Last month's Xbox magazine showed the grunts, jackals, elites, prophets, and brutes! BUT NO HUNTERS! I dont know about tthe rest of you, but i want to see the new hunters. Post your comments, or insults, lol

I do agree with u on that one, they have to be super upgraded or something, like the new grunts have fingers and big teeth, or how the jackals look way different. And i also hope that the hunters are harder to kill this time around. None of this one-shot crap.

i agree, except for the fact that it's fun to get 2 people and take them on from the front

It really is kind of a block, they have eyes but no mouth but i can explain the no mouth thing, if u ever watch a hunter just stand aroundbefore it has seen you,(silent cartographer is a good level to do this) it bends over and the spikes on its back twitch and move. Maybe instead of talking, they communicate with spike telepathy or use a kind of spike sign language, like they move them in different symbols. hmmmmmm. i do wonder

Maybe we'll see a hunter with its armor off this time. but im really wondering why bungie is keeping its new look a secret. i know theyre gonna be back, Frankie talks about them now and then. Why bungie!? Hunters are too cool to be secret!!

I was waiting to talk about this. At last years fanfest a man asked are the hunters going to be a challenge in Halo 2? And the bungie team said, WHAT , you mean there not a challenge already?!!!! Sarcasticly they said. But after that, they said no comment, and couldnt talk about that now.

I also cant wait for the engineers. I think there gonna be fun to look at and kill when you get bored here and there, or maybe even use them as shields.

man thats kinda wierd that they wont talk about hunters, there has to be a REALLY REALLY good reason bungie is being quiet, maybe a whole new look or style of fighting, or maybe bungie didnt want to make a lot of contriversy about them, i dont know.

No im sure bungie is hiding them for a good reason, and I bet as soon as we see them or even in the game its going to blow us away because of what they did new to them.

Bungie hasnt concluded that engineers will be in halo 2. but i think someone said something about seeing one in the halo 2 commentary video a couple of weeks ago. but it would be cool just to waste them every once in a while

I dont know if you've read First Stike, but the engineers repair MC's armor at one point....would be cool to use them this way in gameplay.

whatever the reason for their silence on this topic, I'm sure it's a good one

Yeah that was awesome in first strike when he got his armored prepaired, but the marine had to shoot him. Its sorta like your medic, but a one time, and then its over kind of thing

I know it has to be good. but i want to see them, hunters have always kind of appealed to me. kinda like giant glowing turtles, with that big stretchy neck, and the way they talk with their spikes.

The hunters are probably getting an upgrade which is good. They need a better face and a mouth i mean they have to eat. I know what would be sweet if you were able to take the weapon away from an opponite when they were still alive. I cant wait to see the engineers. I bet that they will be able to repair your vehicles and help us around covenant things. IN the books they are not bad they just love building and repairing.

yeah the enginners r neutral, they dont care what side they r on. they just love bein handy-men. but on the other hand, after a while they would be lame and just get in the way, kinda like the flood infection forms. Sure they are there, and they are enemies, but they just get annoying cause they r everywhere and they distract you .

Errr... no... The spike thing is just an animation to make it look cool. What do you mean they have no mouth... don't they shout out battle cries and cry out when they die...? Freak...

Okay. We know that the hunters always operate in pairs, because each one has a particular "soul brother" or something like that (can't remember) that they are never separated from. Perhaps the spines moving is simply a representation of the hunter tensing up or something. And I don't think spike telepathy really makes any sense, but the two just know each other so well they practically know what the other is going to do before it happens. And I think when he says they have no mouth, he means he doesn't see a mouth on the face of the hunter in the game, there mouths are probably behind the armor somewhere.

What if they "Played" diffrent notes with there spines meaning difrent words or phrases?

Maybe the hunters were finally hunted themselves.

I highly doubt their spikes have anything to do with communication.

Maybe they dont but it would be funny if bungie saw this post and thought it was a cool idea so they made it that way.
