hunters r WAY over rated.
my friend and i were playing the silent cartorgrapher level, he had a rifle, and i had a pistol, i said i got the hunters and he said "what, u got a pistol, you'll get the **** beat out of u!!!" and i said "did u even play halo? hunters r easier to kill than grunts!" so he is like 7 meters ahead of me, he goes in, he throws all of his gerandes and he dies. i die on perourpse. i go in fire two shots and there dead. my freind dosent say anything for the rest of the level. he was kinda angry. all of my other freinds also say hunters are hard. they are way to easy.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

They are easy to kill, but for a first time halo player they can be very scary. I have killed hunters with one shot to the back. But when i first got Halo it would take forever to kill them.

Same I used to just huck grande and fire as many bullets possible at a hunter not realizing that 1 pistol shot in the right place will kill it.

i think its more of a challenge if you try not to just shoot the pistol once in the back, its pretty cool

Do you think that the hunters in H2 are harder? I think so, they have more ways of meleeing you. Rather than just doing that same predictable charge like in H1, H2 huners will quickly strike you when your behind them, they are the one thing i think is better in H2.

yeah, in h1 they are. i would always melee them to death. and it was always fun. But when H2 came out, i noticed they were bigger and i thought, hey, no big deal, but then he hit me with his shield and i died, did the same thing several times. and finally i turned off the game and walked away in frustration.that was at the begining though, im ok with them now.

if you have an automatic weapon handy, you can freeze the hunter as it's being shot by all those bullets.

I like it when you play as the Arbiter when the hunters help you.

Lastly, the hunter's have special plasma cannons other than the fuel rod cannon from h1.

You can stick with your 6's, but I'll stay with the 7.

I think hunters are fun to kill. (in halo 1, only) I shoot them on their backs, and the silent cartographer level was really fun

I think the H2 Hunters was MUCH harder than in H1.
When i first met the hunters in H2, i thougt "YAy, a hunter, thoose easy guyes!" and ran straight on.big mistake, they killed me on 2 seconds.

Hey man, the hunters may have been easy to kill in H1, but in H2, they are way harder to kill. I dodged the hunters charge and tried shooting it in the back, but before I could even get the shot off, he backhanded me with his shield and, quite frankly, he really hurt my feelings. SERIOUSLY

u guys got to quit being such babies!!! i want to use the n word but i guess we arent alloud to use it (which i think we should). quit whining i mean come on, they made hunters a bit more challenging but you make it sound like they are impossible! i will admit i had a hard time with them to but you have to quit saying halo 1 was better with hunters, halo 1 was too easy and i think halo 2 hunters are the best (halo 1 hunters are still fun to) when i hear the name hunter i think of somthing that "hunts" humans, not a play-toy!!! quit complaining and gat better at killing hunters!!!

Hunters are made to be bad ass walking tanks, and they are. It takes alot to kill one with a frontal assult, and it still requires some effort when attacking their back. they are made to be the way they are, they are suppsed to be un protected in the back or else they really would be invincible. every enemy in halo has a weak point, so quit whining or else I'll shoot you in the back!
Once though, in the level Regret, when a dropship unloads 2 hunters before you step on a gondula a hunter fell right in front of a marine with a shotgun. before the hunters feet touched the ground the marine shot the hunters exposed stomach and it died in one shot. the end. go away.

H1 hunters are adorable when they stick their necks out and shake and crud. And they're so weak, but I'm still scared of them. Sometimes I do melee them to death though. I don't own H2 or an Xbox, so I can't make any real judgement on the H2 hunters. I only fought them once in co-op, and I was hiding.
