I was wondering whilst reading the 'Covenant Hierachy' page the other day, whether or not there are different ranks for Hunters?

I mean the Grunts can be Orange, Red and that Silvery-Black colour that they wear if they are part of a strike team.

The Elites come in Blue, Red, Gold and also the Silvery-Black strike team colour.

But so far there is only one type of Hunter 'Costume', that metallic blue colour.

Its just, wouldn't it be cool if there was a say a Red, GREEN, or even GOLD hunter, which would not only exprees their rank, but would also ensure a higher i.q (coz lets face it they were pretty dumb on Halo 1). And would perhaps give them all over body armour, not only meaning that they would be smart, ruthless and cunning (like Elites) but would ensure that a sufficient amount of ammo was used on them before they died.

That's because the Grunts and Elites wear suits of armor and respiratory suits. I don't think the Hunter has any Armor. Maybe though. Or Bungie just didn't have enought time to implement more color for the Hunter into Halo.

Sorry bout the post above. Of Course the Hunter has armor. I don't know where my head was.

Unlike Elites and Grunts, Jackals dont wear armour. They differ in sheild colors and some have frills on their skulls.

I'd want the Hunter armor to be Black, Silver, Gold, Red, and the traditional Blue.Plus, i want the Hunters armor to cover all parts of his body, or be a lot more resistant to bullets than in Halo 1...

Wouldn't it be pretty pimp if the hunters were purple, pink, or rainbow colored?

Whats scary is I could actually imagine that. Maybe you should make a new myth similar to the yellow Banshee. The rainbow Hunter. See how many new Halo fans will actually fall for it.

i think it would be cool to come accros some hunters "off duty" without any armor on at all, thou they would be easiy to kill they would stand 12 feet tall which would be awsome to look at

I think Hunters should have more varied weapons, like the Elites. I mean, there were Gold Elites with Plasma Swords, Light Blues with invisibility, and the rest with Plasma Rifles.... Why can't there be different Hunters?

I mean, could you imagine an invisible Hunter? That would be fun.

I think it's mostly cause of the fact that Hunters are meant to be heavy support. If the covies came up with a new big weapon, then you'll see some Hunters using it; wonder if they can get the fuel rod off their arms. Since the covies are so imitative I doubt they will "come up" with anything for awhile.

Yes, they can remove their guns. Their hands slip into a slot in the back. Kind of makes me wonder why Master Chief can't take it...

I still think it would be awsome to see an invisible Hunter... Or maybe one with an energy shield? Hmm... Or a Plasma Sword instead of a Fuel Rod Gun?

i've always wondered if the hunters are able to remove their armor. they'd be pretty useless without it on, but you've got to feel sorry for them for having to lug around all that stuff all the time. and besides, how do they go to the bathroom with all that crap on? and it must be pretty awkward when mr. hunter goes home to the mrs. and, you know, cuddles and what not.
