does anyone other than me have the XBL arcade halo CE?
and in other questions; does anyone remember in halo CE how a well placed shot could kill a hunter with one pistol shot?

I believe its the neck shots that are the most effective.

Shot to an orange area = dead hunter.

Killing hunters with needles and melee is much more fun, though.

Doesn't matter where you shoot (unless you like one shot kills). The Hunter's armor is linked to the Hunter's health. That's why when you shoot a Hunter in the armor with a Pistol, his head goes back. Of course, shots to the armor only do minor damage.

Now try how and why."

Killing hunters in CE is laughably simple. If you get close enough, they charge you. When they do, simply step out of the way and shoot them in the back. They should give you a second or two to do this. One shot with the pistol does them in.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

I remember back in the day before I found out about the pistol thing with the hunters, those were some of the most enjoyable battle on legendary. Even after finding out about it I still didn't use it unless I really needed to, it was just too simple.

"The Rescue of Pops Ghostly" veteran.

My favorite, and quickest method is to rush a Hunter head-on and right before you run into him (he's about to smack ya!) start running backward, aim for the stomach, he'll raise his arm and expose that orange, fleshy goodness. One shot :)

They terrified me in the fist few play thoughs.
Taking them out with the needler is fun. Beating them to death is easy. They are actually easier to take down than grunts. I like to get them to jump off cliffs or bridges whenever possible.

Some people say you have one shot at love I say you just have to reload.

I have the Halo CE when it first came out, and I do remember but that was until my last encounter with a Hunter the first time I charge at it like it was an super Elite I was wrong but I had a good time unloading clips after clips and run around until it fell.

Wait 'til he charges at you, trying to whack you with his shield. Then you just step aside, so he'll miss you and you shoot him twice withe the pistol or melee the orange area on his back and you'll have a dead hunter! Now you got one left!

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

Yep. I always like spinning around them and punching them to death though.

no. nonono

The Hunters were far too easy in CE. They are perfect in the more recent Halos, where you have to plan ahead and be strategic to kill them.
