You know, I just had a thought:
Bots wouldn't be a such a bad idea - could you imagine facing off against 6-8 Hunters at once, in an open field? That would be fun. Challenging too.

I enjoy sneaking by the Hunters and sticking grenades on them. Just one grenade won't eliminate them (Not to mention they'll be chasing after you), but it's a pretty fun start!

their weAK SPOT IS TOO weak if you ask me, it shoudl just be thier necks or something which will require more skill. plus in halo books hunters are great shots and almost never miss, except banshees which they missed by a meter or so. they should be good shots in halo 2. they are meant to be most bad-ass m-other f-uckers in the covenant so if you see 2 of them and you don't have a rocket launcher then you should stop and rethink.

Why 2 hunters? i think they should travel in at packs of at least 5 or 6. They should also have some kind of vehicle that is driven by a brute or something and back get dropped off around you, like two or three hunter dropships at one time each carrying several hunters. They should also have a smaller sweet spot maybe in the side of the head or in the middle of their backs between their shoulder plates. they should also cover up their backs with an impenetrable armour made of the same stuff as their sheild.

And hunters in halo 2 should be like bouncers and always be in the front line of fire. they should guard every few doors inside the the covie ship and also the docking bay.

I think they should be much more diffivult to kill. I also think there should be different ranks of hunters. Like blue hunters, red hunters, black hunters and gold hunters. Every covenant race has more than one rank except the hunters

i'd like to see more advanced AI, rather than the usual fire if too far away melee when close routine. the weak spot shouldnt be there. meeting hunters is quite rare compared to other enemies, they shouldnt be such a push over, bearing in mind just how long it takes to kill them "normally". I mean how many stickies does it take to kill one? exactly.

even the thought of a meaner more cunning hunter gets me going. just imagine that but with energy shields. and different combos of weapons. fuel rod and shield. plasma rifle and shield. plasma rifle and fuel rod. GAH!! If a hunter had a PR or something along those lines they would be solid.

It would be sweet seeing different hunters. Imagine taking on a black armored hunter with red glowing eyes and there would be a covenant versions of the chain gun( or gattling gun) , and the black hunter would have two of these implented into his armor! One on each hand, WooooWWww, I crap my pant just thinking of it!! He would also be covered with a silver colored regenerating shield!!

i think either a heavily improved fuel rod gun or a few variations on weapons would be good. cos how many times have you been killed by a hunters fuel rod gun??

I agree with the rank idea and yes they are pretty simple to kill arent they? Took me a helluva long time to figure out a pistol shot to the back/neck killed them. They should travel in lots of packs and they should probably have like a big plasma rifle or somethign on teh other hand and teh feul rod on the other. Think were goign to be able to us ethe Fuel Rod in Halo 2?

yeah that'd be great. one brother has a fuel rod gun and the other a big rifle style weapon. i sure hope hunters are good in halo2, they're my favourite of all the halo-universe characters. they're just so hard, watching them fight against marines, flood and sentinels they really rule. just that one-shot kill really floors them. i like using less effective weapons against hunters, like ARs and needlers. beating hunters to bits is real good fun, cos you always have to keep an eye out for the other one!

i guess i dont find them challenging like an elite or even a few grunts is cos they're just so predictable. Even on legendary i just feel sorry for them!!
