Bah, Brutes will be better anyway. If they don't get rid of that weak spot, they will suck.

But man, in those confined corridors those thigns will absolutely murder you.

You can jump over them. My favourite tactic, along with using needler or RL melee 'till they're dead.

Oh, about the hunter's AI: they're not stupid, just slow! In the silent cartographer, when you go to the entrance after you've opened it, go to the platform via the tunnel on the right. I've seen the hunters going all the way down to the entrance of the tunnel, so they could attack me in the back! I was stunned!

On topic: I can't wait to see the new hunter either! It must look sweet! But I do hope they're not as easy to kill as in Halo:CE. It was great in Halo:CE, but I think pretty much everyone now knows about the weak spot... But I'm sure Bungie have already taken care of it.

ya the hunters were pretty weak even on legendary after you find out their weak spot. BUT (and i know this has already been talekd about like a million times but bare with me) what is the AI was improved so they are faster and smarted so they don't do that blind "haymaker" hit thing. becuase thats their real weak spot. and also if they were covered up on the vitals such as the back. then they would acctually be scary as hell. it would be like taking on two wraith tanks at once at close combat. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. and yes if the hunters are in halo 2 which i hope they are then yes they will damn friggin sweet with the new graphics.

i think it would be O.K. if you could kill a hunter with one shot in the back on easy difficulty setting. But, it just seems too easy when you get to legendary as two grunts do more damage than two hunters. its just stupid!

If you find hunters that easy, do it the hard way. Dont circle them, step back and try and hit their neck. And why are you all talking of weak spot in the singular, their neck armpit, two areas on their chests, back of the knees and their back could all be hit heasily with any weapon. And Hunters arent slow, they can dodg rockets, ive seen it happen.

hunters are fun, but easy to kill. i hope they actually get some better tactics. don't stay crouched over when they guy is behind them. actually stand up, so you can run a little faster, and fire your gun, and actaully kill the chief.

On AOTCR when the 2 hunters are on the other bridge to you they are difficult. Even with the pistol because they keep facing you.

well hopefully in h2, the hunters will be improved on , and that cheap trick of melee in the back wont work, they need to make them like they were in the books. the chief was very cautious of them and knew they were dangerous. also remember we will have better ai this time so they will be smarter

They don't have to get rid of the weak spot because if they make the Hunters a WHOLE LOT smarter then they will be one helluva foe with the weak spot,no matter if youre in a closed corridor or an open area,and if they got rid of the weak spot then they would be UNSTOPPABLE

Maybe in H2 the covenant will learn from the hunters' previous tactics and change that haymaker attacker into something else. Or improve the armour over the back, which is the biggest area for the one shot kill.

I've always thought the hunters looked the coolest in my perspective. I'm pretty sure that we all had our hard times with them. Especially on legendary in the Maw, God those tight areas kill me when two hunters are constantly barraging you with green plasma.

HUH??? I many times kill them without shooting them in the back, just for a challenge. I'm sorry but the biggest enemy in halo was a joke. No enemy should take 1 shot to kill except a grunt headshot.

Actually, this weekly update is like the second or third thing mentioned about hunters in Halo 2.

The first mentioned they'd plow threw obsticals in their way to go around more quickly...

I thought the Hunters were hard the first time I faced them... Of course, I didn't know about the weak spot. But after killing a few of them I realised where to shoot, and they became easier than Jackels (But not easier than Grunts... Come on, give Hunters some credit.)

I was a bit pissed after I learned of the weak spot... They were more fun when I didn't know where to shoot. It would take me a clip of Pistol rounds to kill one instead of one shot to the back. I hope the new Hunters are pretty close to unstoppable because they're my favorite Covies. I love the big, slow bastards.

They should give the Hunters a new tactic were if the Chief got behinf them, they could shoot the Fuel rod gun behind them, or do a "Chuck Norris Roundhouse Back Kick!"

in halo 2 i hope when u shoot a hunter in the back with a pistol the first time he turns around and says "you didnt think it would be that easy. Did you?"

I would literaly piss myself if they said that.

Well... The new Hunter might look cool, but I found the base design to be very dull and boring. The Elites' and Grunts' armor is creative and original, but Hunters just seem to be covered in metal. Of course, bumpmapping is like getting a face lift in the gaming world.

I found the Hunters in Halo 1 to be incredibly stupid. They're far to predictable, and that weak spot makes no sense whatsoever. Unless they use that area of skin to absorb oxygen? Anyways, in Halo 2 I think that the Hunters should be outfitted with full-body shielding like the Elites have, or at least the SpecOps ones. No more one shot kills, unless you're really good with a sniper rifle at close range. Can you imagine being Hunted into a dead end by a black-armored, shielded, auto fuel rod gun toting Hunter? Scary. Especially if they have shields like those of a golden Elite.

From "First Strike"

The Prophet marveled at it's near-unthinking potential for mayhem; the rippling muscle under it's dull grey skin could tear apart any opponent-----even a mighty Hunter. It was the perfect instrument.

To kill a hunter in Halo 1, it is harder to shoot them in the back with a pistol than it is to do it the way I do. I just get as close to them as possible so they wont shoot fuel rods, wait for them to charge me, walk backwards as they get closer, and then as soon as they are in the top of the melee upswing, I pop a pistol round in the belly. That spot (or any orage spot) is just as weak as the back.
