I'm very much looking forward to running away from hunters screaming like a little girl. Seriously, it will be awesome when this game is hard again and you aren't an indestructible killing machine.

Exactly.

I want to get owned by Hunters. It make it more fun, knowing that very easily you could get stomped on (Literally....)

Some cool philosophies from The World Ends With You (DS)

The World Ends with You........ Give up on yourself, and you give up on the world.

Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves.
The World Ends with You is one of the best games on DS, buy it if you have a DS.

I really want that game now. It looks HECKA fun.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

So long as I can't kill them in one shot like you could in Combat Evolved.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

I can't wait for the difficulty of no MJOLNIR or Spartan augmentations.......

  • 07.26.2009 3:23 PM PDT

Playing this with my friends is going to be a real highlight.
I'm really looking forward to this.

Hunters look, and excuse my lack of elegance, pretty damn badass. I'm glad that they're scary. They used to be like... the powerhouses. In Halo 3 they were so weak I wasn't even scared of them because you could even melee them to death no problem. That being brought back? Good choice definitely. Even if they are one hit kills on any difficulty

I agree. That wasn't even on Legendary, either. The highest difficulty they had was Heroic. Legendary is going to be scary.

Thanks!

With tactics, they will be fairly easy, if you've seen other videos on them, you'd see how easy it was for the team to take them down.

Say you'd save the Rocket Launcher for them, instead of wasting it on Grunts, Jackals and Brutes.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Which is one reason I can not wait to get my hands on Firefight. I see all of the gameplay videos and I see people wasting power weapon ammo on like... two Jackals who flanked them.

Save for the Hunters, Chieftains, and Wraiths people. It's not that hard.

Teamwork is going to be imperitive in taking down a hunter. If you have got one person with an automatic weapon like a Turret or an SMG, have them spray the hunter while somebody else uses grenades and their pistol to finish the kill.

Then, steal the gravity hammer and go "SWA SWA SWING!"

Yep, there's no need wasting rare ammo on cannon fodder. the Plasma Pistol + Automag/Carbine combo will stop everything but Chieftains and Hunters so it makes sense to save the big guns for those guys and the vehicles. I can't wait to get some friends together who know what they're doing and set some high scores.

  • 07.26.2009 3:58 PM PDT

Vrrin Vrrin, yeah here I come.

hunters are hard but they make good gameplay. they are like big sentient tanks.

Don't be shy, you can mention my name =)

Jk, I can't wait either, being a Campaign freak myself, it will be nice to have a multiplayer where you'll use critical teamwork against....AI Campaign enemies? No strafing Spartans and jumping Elites? Just awesome. Sure the Campaign itself has that, but Firefight is something I absolutely can't wait for.

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Finally, Hunters, who were supposed to be the most fearsome of the Covenant, aren't pushovers like in all the previous Halo games.

A challenge: Kill a Hunter via coop melee gangbang.

I was surprised by the Stalker in the second vid. That'll make things tough especially on Legendary. If that FireFight was on Legendary, the guy shot would have been killed for sure.

I can't seem to dodge the Hunters melee attack in Halo 3 Lol. So I won't take it up close. Let my teammates handle that while I snipe them out. >:P


Actually if a hunter tries to melee dodge to the left because they melee with the shield which is on thier left (your right)

And the huntas R Bak YAH11111

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

It doesn't look scary (then again, I'm not the one playing it and I'm watching my vids in a well lit room with my huge TV on so it does somewhat lighten the darkness lol) but it looks challenging. I'm glad I'll actually be able to use my awesome squad skills in a cooperative game where people'll have to listen to me lol. The Hunters just look detailed very well. They look damaged in a way but they look like they can drop you on the ground and squish your skull. In the dark when I play this game in September, I have a feeling that I'll be crapping my pants though.
