Well seeing as to how this will be an all out war, do you think the hunters will be something of a fierce challenge, Hopefully ODST will compensate, but they need to make these guys more then just the dumb targets i use to frag till they die.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

We'll stig frag them until they die, they are bulky and slow, they can't move and fire, so what do you suggest?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Hopefully. I want to go up against two Hunter pairs. And when one Hunter loses it's brother it goes into an insane rage.

....whut?

I want the Hunters' original fuel rod cannon back. The new assault beam is just.... dull. Halo 1 hunters could only melee forward and were easy to 1-shot, but even so they felt a LOT more "epic." Halo 1 hunters always made me tense. Halo 2&3 were just.... nyeh.

QFT i also like the other guy's idea of when one hunter in a pair dies the other one goes into a sort of rage

What would be epic is if when one of the hunters died, the lekgolo in the other one sprouted out of the armor and picked you up (the camera is still in first-person) and you have to shoot them to get out. It goes against all canon, but would still be awesome.

I think this brings up a good point: The original Hunter, both weapon and in movement itself, is much much faster than it's Halo 2&3 counterparts. I hope that they bring these traits back in Reach. Maybe bring an excellent back-sweep to compensate for that weakness. I can just imagine it now, it's done charging, it makes the hit, realizes it didn't connect, and makes a brutal counterattack with the edge of the shield.

I love the rage idea as well. They should make it a lot more noticeable, although I admit they did a good job with the rage in 2 (It'll hit cars and stuff), but maybe something wicked will happen like the points on the back will flare up, or possibly impale you.

hell or the hunter could not be a pair, but a triangle where if you get stuck in the middle of them you get stuck in a statis field and they all shot you and you DIE
