Before ODST came out, we were told Hunters were finally the way they were always meant to be. To quote Lukems:

"In Halo 3 when you saw a Hunter it was like 'oh... it's a Hunter...' but in ODST when you see a Hunter you're like 'o...oh my God... it's a Hunter'.

Sadly, I never felt that way when I saw a Hunter. One ODST is not supposed to kill two Hunters and even a Spartan has troubles in the books.

In Reach:

1.) Make the Hunters the way they need to be. Give them more than twice the health (Hunters are actually scary when Mythic skull is on).

2.) Give Hunters more combat moves. One reason they are so easy is because they know maybe 4-5 moves.

3.) Make it so when you get behind one you have a chance of being punished for it by their spines. In the books, those spines can rip through Spartans with ease.

4.) *EDIT* I cannot believe I forgot this one. Anyone who has read the books knows how pissed off a Hunter gets if you kill his Bond Brother. Make the Hunters fight harder when their Bond Brother is killed.

That should be all to finally give Hunters what they finally deserve.

Buck: "Ugh Hunters?? I do NOT have time for this!"
Me: "I know you love Dare, but I'm sure you can take 5 seconds out of your day."

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

in halo one i used to freak every time i got near one and i would whisper in my room and try not to make noise but that was 7 years ago. NO they are not scary at all and they are very easy to kill with any weapon even the pistol.

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Nothing is scary once you know its weakness.

Remember Halo CE and the level 'The Silent Cartographer' and you need to go through the Forerunner to open the door to the Cartographer? And there's a pair of hunter in there, that for me was one of the most challenging Hunter battles in Halo history, since the room was so crowded it made it hard to duck under its swing and dodge its charge.
Luckily we had our trusty M6D, and then on the way out of there you get ambushed by camo Elites. Seriously i crapped myself the first time i played that level.

If Bungie can repeat a moment like that in Halo Reach, IMO it would have succeeded where all the others failed.

Also known as Entropy91
Black Water Ops representative.
See you on the battlefield.

If they were to remove the massive orange weak point, they'd be a bit tougher. They also need a better weapon than their current super soaker. Maybe a Scarab gun. They should also give back their near rocketproof status on Legendary.

Actually, give all the covenant weapons a damage upgrade, make them closer to Halo CE you know? Like how the sword was a one hit kill on Easy, no matter how it hit you , and high level Elites could ruin your day with plasma rifles and needlers.

Make the game challenging enough to where you feel like you accomplished something by beating Legendary (Halo CE), but not so difficult as to make the first level nearly impassable (Halo 2).
