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.
