Subject: Firebomb effects on Hunters/Drones.

I recently saw a thread on Forgehub talking about this, so I thought I'd bring it over to here. Basically, in Halo 3 you are never given an opportunity to use firebombs against Hunters or Drones. However, in Firefight, it'll be possible to get firebombs off of the camo brutes, so there will be an opportunity to use them against those enemies.

So, how effective do you think they'll be on Hunters? Or Drones?

drones will be all like awww snap!
hunters be like WTF?

  • 08.16.2009 2:16 PM PDT

I bet firebombs will chew right through Drones, as for Hunters I bet it'll take at least two to get the job done... And besides, who wants a giant Hunter, on fire, trying to club you with an enormous shield?

  • 08.16.2009 2:16 PM PDT

I don't see it being very effective on Drones unless you light one on fire then that fire is able to spread to each drone he runs into.

Hunters are probably the same as Brutes, on fire till death. Just longer since Hunters are larger.

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

Wildcard Machinima!

Good question.

I'd think that drones would be hard to hit, but it would be effective.

It might only work on a hunter's back.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Firebombs will probably kill a drone when it ignites. Hunters, not so much.

Halo=The best game series EVER!

Finished Halo: Reach campaign legendary solo!

i think urk or a vid said that the hunters will be hit really hard with firebomb grenades, and i think drones (because when they come out they stick together) will be fried.

Well, I really do hope you enjoy that specific encounter. It should be... interesting to say the least.

That would make Firefight so much easier.

Oh no a hunter!
*firebomb*
Never mind.

I'd rather die from a flaming Hunter than a non-flaming Hunter

I wonder if a firebomb might blast off the armour on a Hunter's back? It doesn't happen often enough in Halo 3 to make it tactical. I'd love to see certain tactics to take of a Hunter's armour, and therefore make them easier to take down.

Sometimes it happens in a single shotgun shot to the back, but sometimes 3 rockets to the back does nothing.

Awww. A Hunter's killing me. (lame)

Now it's cool.

I'd rather deal with a charging Hunter, not on fire, than get clobbered by a hunking piece of burning metal... or whatever a Hunter's shield is made of. I will give you this, dying from a flaming Hunter would be more epic.

A drone would be torn to pieces, I'm sure. It's hitting the buggers that's the problem.

As for Hunters, I can see it doing a fair bit of damage. Maybe not an immediate kill, but a bit of damage.

Thou hast been out BR'ed and now wilst feast most succulently upon my bageth of tea

why would you waste a precious firebomb on a measly drone? i think that they would take a significant chunk out of the hunters health though. probably about 80%.

Im pretty suer you can, On the level the covanant. You get some in the first tower then when you go to johnsons tower there are two hunters and you just throw them at them.

its a forum joke, because everytime some kid comes on here claiming he has found the golden warthog or something like that the first reply to that is usually "pics or it didnt happen"

Golf Wang. Brony.

Using firebomb grenades against Drones should be exciting, it isn't that hard to hit a swarm of Drones head on (ex. near the end of Crow's Nest; you can stick a Drone and kill a bunch). The flames will fly and set the whole mess will be set on fire!

Hunters, same as Brutes like what somebody else already said. It would be a cool effect if you can set their main shield on fire and nothing really happens.

Organzed firebomb throws should be epic after killing a wave filled with Brute Stalkers.

I know, but that still doen't make sense (different sense of humor I guess).

well, since hunters are made of little worms, the individual ones are probably very likely to die from fire, so maybe they will die quickly
