Subject: Now, about those Hunters....

As you all know, since we will be playing the role of a meatbag ODST (and not a half ton, walking death machine) how will we be able to take down the Hunters?

If I recal, the Hunters had gone through a number of changes for Halo 3, such as their melee attacks being faster and much deadlier. These Hunters could anticipate enemies behind it and can attack them in due force (and don't get me started with their assult cannons and the "bond brother" idea).

So, what are your thoughts on how to deal with these pesky worms in suits of armor, ODST style?

For all your Hoggin' needs.

A rocket launcher,perhaps?

Spartans are not the only Heavily armed soldiers around.

The ODST blowpipe and silently poison them.

There are few Hunters in the first place, so I'm sure that we'll manage.

That's so kawaii and sugoi. You should come over to my place and I'll let you nyan all over my ugu.

Since you have all the weapons available that the cheif did, minus the extra turret mobility, I don't think it'll be too hard. Plus, the New Mombassa levels of Halo 2 were pretty vehicle heavy - you'll probably have some available when the Hunters show up.

Well if I was an ODST fight a hunter, my reaction would be... Oh shi-

We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero.

Pshaw, just give us the Halo 1 pistol and we'll be good.

Aim for the orange :p

I'm sure the sniper still works fine. Who said being a Spartan helped you kill Hunters quicker anyways? If I recall it takes ages to kill with Melee and you had to resort to guns.

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

go to the projects section of b.net, and under the field guide, it tells you about enemies.
For hunters it says:
Hunters should be thought of more as mechanized weapon platforms rather than single enemy combatants. Avoid engagement whenever possible.

OR

Using stealth ODST ninja skills, you could surround the Hunters and take ethme down like that =D

The Hunters will probably have the same strength as H2 so they wont be that hard. An i dought that they will make the main character weaker cause he is a ODST.

QFT. I definitely think we'll see few Hunters in ODST. They'll be more like mini-bosses or something.
