Who agrees with me that hunters should be a unit to be feared. I think that the one hit kill takes away from fighting a hunter.

Seriously, the books make them seem badass...and in the game, they're weaker than grunts. Pathetic! I'd definitely like to see them a bit more difficult, I love a good challenge.

Yea, I agree. Hunters would be a lot cooler if they didn't have that weak spot.

They are powerful, but I think they should still have a weakness. Killing them with one shot is not easy unless you have practice or sneak up on them.

  • 04.13.2004 4:02 PM PDT

bah

Or if you have mad skillz. I boldly stand rigtht in front of them and shoot them when they lift their arm. All my friends do it that way too. Make it a really small spot, or no spot at all.

I like the idea of a one shot kill. But it should be much more difficult to pull off. I'd suggest simply getting rid the the spot on the back. Getting them in the neck is much more difficult (and rewarding) to do.

Of course, if you REALLY hate the weak points, simply don't use them. It is tempting though...

One shot hunter kills really suck, maybe they could have a weak spot, but seriously, I kill them easier than Jackals

I think the only way you should be able to kill hunters is with frags or rockets

it really doesn't take any skill to kill a hunter. They're predictable, slow, innaccurate, and almost retarded (they try the same thing over and over expecting a different result). I mean seriously i'm like a hunter trained matadore. Dancing around with 2 of them was cool too for awhile... you know evantually they run into eachother and have kill eachother from doing blind charges. Bottom line is that the hunter AI absolutely sucks, and the weakpoint doesn't help that. I was never really shocked by any enemies ferocity in halo, and i hope that the brutes in halo 2 are going to be big burly roaring beasts. (their clearly big and beastly, but no signs of heart stopping Dolby Surround Sound powered death crys yet....)

I'd just like to see them be smarter. (Ie, bettter A.I.) If they were smarter they wouldn't expose themselves. Imagine them clunking forwards slowly,with his back to the wall, clearly knowing his weakness never once giving you a shot.

Seeing as we have destructibles, it could take a bit of firepower to blast away one of their armoured bits, then ya can go in for the one hit kill, i dunno, but it's an idea

That's supposedly the idea with the Brutes.

if there had to be 1 hit kills maybe they could make the spot harder to hit.....maybe a smaller orange spot?

Even on Legendary I am more worried about the SpecOps Grunts than the Hunters -
Sidestep >PoP< They're dead. Seriously - Hunters are only a challenge if you are new to the game.
