Yonder the darkest bridge,
a misty light appears
as an amber gleam glistens post storm,
the methane shine shifts the emotional decor

I was playing the silent cartographer last night and I felt that the hunters in Halo: Combat Evolved are more worthy opponents than the ones found in the rest of the trilogy. They have more powerful fuel rod guns and melee attacks along with successful tact. Am I right? Am I right?

Seven is the greatest number. It's got references everywhere! And it wouldn't surprise me if it was the answer to existance. (42 is in the 7 times table, all you hitchhikers fans will know.)

I beat a hunter to death on CE. And the other died from three shots of my magnum. But yes they do have more powerful fuel rod guns and melee attacks, depending on the difficulty.

I found the CE variety of hunters the easiest to put down. They are easier to dodge, die from one pistol shot to the orange, can be beaten to death from behind while 'asleep', and are fun to melee to death. You can't do those things with later varients.

It is quite true that you can simply shoot them in the back once with a pistol however, the magnum was a million times better in Halo: Combat Evolved as well. Although I agree.

They seriously ruined the magnum, i remember playing the 1st two levels of CE with the magnum only! It was that good. Then the flood came, and i liked the shotgun better.

Hunters are just a pain to fight in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Not much challenge, just a pain in the arse.

In this game, they're fun, because you can play around with them, and tease them.

I would like to invite you to the most active group there is, Black Water Ops.. Boasting over 3,000 members this is one of the fastest growing groups and proven to be one of the most active b.net groups. An amazing experience awaits you with weekly game nights, photo contests, and forging contests. This is one decision you won't regret.

Yeah, they do seem a stronger in CE than the other games. Although I do find it easier to shoot the cracks in their armor in CE.

I like the halo 2 hunters the best. Using dual brute plasma rifles on them is oodles of fun.

They're open once you've plasma stuck them. Will "Straighten out" for a moment - that's your chance to pound their spinal area with whatever you've got. H-1 Hunters were far more vulnerable to needler...AR...(and of course the pistol.) Totally different enemy through the games.

I blame stosh.


Proud tester of the Halo 3 beta.

I always make one kill the other ^^ I remember how cool it was the first time a Hunter in Halo 2 did the turning drop punch!

I like how CE hunters will kill themselves if it means killing you.Not coz I like being killed in that way but because it means they are more brave and more tough than most of the other enemies on CE. Threw a plasma grenade at a hunter but instead of running around screaming like elites and grunts it just charged towards me and the grenade detonated killing me and the hunter. I found them really hard to beat when I first got Halo.

but they are weaker. one pistol shot in the big orange spot can kill them

I do not believe it is that they are weaker, rather that the combat evolved hunters are more exposed. For example there was this time I remember fighting one and it was distracted between fighting me and the flood so when it focused on the flood, KABOOM! Instant nullification.
