There was alot i didnt like about hunters in Halo, many of the issues where discussed last night, mainly the orange spot, too slow etc.

But another thing that annoyed me is when you hit them with a vehicle they die. In halo 2 i think if you drive at them head on with a warthog, they should like raise their shields, like a sort of ramp, and as you go over the shield, they lift it and flip you over, so you have to fight them on your feet. So the only way to kill them in a warthog, or ghost, would be to come from the side or rear while they are distracted. Also they should use their shields more often, in the books it says the shields are as thick as battle ship armour, and pratically impervious, again i think this should be the case. they should raise their shields and only lower them slightly too shoot. Or maybe cause there is two hunter always, one could shield whilst the other shoots, this would mean you'd have to get up close to harm them efficiently, and upclose they ould be very strong.
Basically in halo 2 i think hunters should be the unstoppable force they where meant to be, and people should dread walking into a room, only to hear the clinking of metal noise the hunters make. This would be much more preferable to the Halo CE in which you would enter the room, laugh and think to yourself, i can get through this room and only use 2 bullets!

I agree 100%. Even on legendary, the hunters manage to SUCK at being killers. My 7 year old sister killed one on easy once! And she is HORRIBLE at Halo most of the time.

This may just be because i only ever play legendary anymore, but im sure there is no difference between an EASY hunter and a LEGENDARY hunter

yeah i still remember when i first got halo and seeing the hunter the first time MAN were they scary and you would fire HUNDREDS of AR rounds into them and they still will not die

now its just two pistol shots = two dead hunters

i want to fear the hunter again

I don't even waste my rounds on them, I just melee them in the back when they try to hit me.

Basically. The only difference would be the amount of damage thats done to you if they hit/shoot you.
