Subject: First Hunters, now Drones?

J-H

Ok so most people are pretty sure that Hunters now have a ranking system due to a Hunter in an ODST video that looked golden...Now we see a Drone that looks "silvery blue-ish (to me atleast) in a new FireFight video...So...Are these tricks of the light or are they new ranks for the Hunters and Drones?

well i'm praying to the dear lord baby Jesus this isn't true because Drones are already annoying to kill anyways... haha

I originally thought it was shields but then i remembered that they have never had shields before (atleast, not visible ones)...And come to think of it, Drones are a hive mind, all guided by a Queen so surely they wouldn't need ranks within a "single organism"...It'd be like ranking one toe above the others for humans

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

drones already have ranks

i think hunters should have like 3 ranks. 1st rank is just a tough pair of hunters 2nd rank is used a pair of red hunters and they are vicous 3rd rank is like an honor gaurd hunter who protects prophets or ship masters they are also twice the size of a normal hunter!

Bringing your attention to this image you can see two pictures of the drones, indicating another rank or type of drone. I always thought it meant ones with plasma pistols and ones with needlers.

That would mean that if the Honor Guard Hunter weren't in combat stance, it would stand 16 feet tall...

There are two types of Drones, Drones that carry Plasma Pistols and Drones that carry Needlers. As for Hunters, there is only one type.

Look here! The last two are the Drones and the third from the right is the Hunter.

Ants have a ranking system, as do Bees.

There's a key difference between "ranks" and "jobs"...Ants/Bees have jobs e.g. worker, queen attender, colony defender (soldier) where as ranks are one thing being in command of another and having another command it. (really badly explained but you get my point)

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

For an Aliens reference, ODSTs could go into a drone hive and try to kill the queen.

Sorry, was dreaming. I'd like to see harder enemies, but even normal Hunters are scary now.

  • 07.28.2009 7:29 PM PDT

Drones have shields? I'd be more scared of Drones that anything else, save Wraiths or the occasional Chieftain... Unless they just swarm in small packs.

Anyways, I reckon that the two drone categories are for needler and plasma pistol... If you look again, there's also two jackal categories; one for shield carriers, one for carbine and (please let me be wrong) beam rifle wielders.

Check your campaign carnage reports, drones have always had two ranks; minors and majors.

i know! it would be sweet! and those hunters would also have sheilds! they would be like near impossible to take down!

And be 24 feet tall out of combat...So 3 times the height of the Chief? I think not, buddy...Maybe you could fight one as a boss and then kill the other one after or something but two together would be suicide.

As a great man has said before "..." That is where the truth lies my friends

The Hunters were merely tricks of light, If there were a speciality hunter we would of known from that screenshot of the Carnage report. Concerning the Drones, There has always been a rank for them, Minor and Major, (Minor) Drones with the Plasma Pistol, (Major) ones with Needlers, and Maybe Brute Plasma Rifles, as seen in Recent video discovery.
