Gameplay

Combat stance:
-Left analog to go into this form
-Slow movement (equivalent to spartan crouching speed)
-Slow Crosshair movement
-Very Powerful shots but slow travel
-100 ammo like a sentinal beam or 10 lost each time fired like gold hunters in ODST (selectable when changing armour)
-When out of ammo its down only to melee leaving a player vulnerable

Not in Comat stance:
-Slow attacking melee but 1 hit kill (5 seconds until next)
-Normal speed (Spartan Equivalent)
-Not too high but fast jumping (Ever tried to run down a hunter in ODST and its dodges? just like that)

Armour

Armour Variants:
Armour Menu - Armour Classification <Hunter> /Spartan/Elite
Suit <Reclemate> /Schism/Combat
Shield <Reclemate> /Schism/Combat
Cannon <Needle> /Plasma
Fire Rate <Burst> /Stream

Armour Colours:
Primary - Select what colour entire armour looks like except for left arm
Secondary - Select What colour left arm
Detail - Colour of Exposed skin (only suitable Lekgolo skin colours are able to be selected)

Hunters have there advantages and disadvantages....
Overall i would say a hunter can be just as fair as playing a spartan or Elite.

I am The Sapphire Knight

Oh, the advantages of class based games.

To bad all the people on this site Blam and moan when they here about the slightest change in gameplay. Example: What! No BR In ODST? I am not going to buy it!

I wish Bungie would do classes or something different. It's not the gameplay that keeps me coming back to the series, It's the Halo look and feel. The reason I was able to enjoy Halo Wars and books like Ghosts of Onyx it looks and sounds like Halo. They've got grunts and Hunters and Plasma Rifles and that can sometimes be enough for me .

Would any of the Star Wars novels made any money if they weren't... well... Star Wars?

Bungie has given us three great games and a nice little tribute to the fans with ODST and I hope that Bungie can move their franchise forward before they leave it to 343 Industries and move on to other projects.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I would like to have 2 multiplayer modes, one that is related to traditional Halo MP, while another mode does the class thing, with marines, spartans, ODSTs, Elites, brutes, hunters and engineers.

this too
even though I'm not sure engineers could be playable since they fly and don't have weapons...

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Pretty much, Imagine slayer where everyone are hunters. That won't get stale and repetitive at all.

I would like to invite you to the most active group there is, Black Water Ops.. Boasting over 3,000 members this is one of the fastest growing groups and proven to be one of the most active b.net groups. An amazing experience awaits you with weekly game nights, photo contests, and forging contests. This is one decision you won't regret.

How about no.

  • 09.30.2009 7:07 AM PDT

i think they should have different classes in multiplayer like 1 room brutes only, 1 hunters, 1 jackals(who would play a jackal? they suck) and last of all grunts that'd be hilarious

I will soon be creating some concept art for some hunter armour variants

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

why couldn't we just play as hunters in slim armor (like spartans and elites)

keep this thread alive ppl

  • 09.30.2009 11:26 AM PDT

i think this thread died like a bug that has just been stood on lol. Hunters would be very good to have in MP, the question is would hunters fit into the MP very well, maby maby not, no one knows what reach's MP is going to be like, hunters could fit in very well or be like a brute chieftan vs normal brutes of a grunt vs an elite, no challenge for somebody, i would love to see them though. :)

  • 09.30.2009 12:25 PM PDT

Radicals ruin the world so give it a break, live a little.

id rather play as an other type of covy than be restricted by rules that limit abilities to become a juggernaut

  • 09.30.2009 12:27 PM PDT

well other than just hunters i think you could be any covy or unsc but some have advantages such as hunters, big awsome weapon but slow moving and big target. Grunt, fast weak small

No. However i would like to see this in some other game type. Like an infection type, just screwing around mode. Maybe even pull an L4D in halo reach. A mode similar to firefight, but people play as the spartans, and then the other team plays as the covenant, and it will be like a class based type thing, or random like in L4D. But both teams would need to be balanced.

  • 09.30.2009 1:01 PM PDT

Think of L4D, are the team very equal, Tank vs Man???

Not equal but balanced and fair. Or as fair as its gonna get for 2 teams being completely different in gameplay and tactics.
