Subject: Halo anniversary 1 shot kills to Hunters

Lets be honest about this, it's very cheap and is essentially a cheat. From behind it's fairly straight forward and when they lunge you, you can even kill them more easily still

An extra option so that this can be disable toggled on/off is surely what 343 should have at least been thinking about. It's one of the very few things that could be considered a real design flaw of this great enemy. Hunters can be good fun to fight but not if you shoot them dead with one shot

It's surely not very hard for them to code this in as an part of an extra menu option. The option means nobdoy can complain

Recon..??

i know what you mean, but I still really dont want them to change anything.
even the cheap hunter kills and such.
but remember, the one shot was with a pistol or a sniper, not the other guns (plasma pistol, needler, ect)
sniper is kinda expected, but remember also, the pistol was overpowered lol

I don't consider those things to be a cheat/cheap. If it isn't harming other players, why change it? It's all a part of the nostalgia factor you get from the original game. This remake is not about "fixing what was wrong" it's about experiencing the exact same thing you did 10 years ago in a flashier new graphical engine.

You're both right of course- it's not a cheat as such

An option though for those that find encounters with Hunters not as satisfying that they feel they could be, this would be a nice inclusion i think. Certainly not to change the game if payed the pure way but as part of extra options

I also like the idea of other options that change the game up a little. Choice of starting weapon for when you want to jump out if the Pelican with a shotgun on The slient Catogropher for example. Being able to change health for ememy, and player being another. Just a couple of nice additions hidden in an extras menu part- achievements being disable of course while you do this like in Perfect Dark

Don't touch the original way it's supposed to be played in a pure way but give us one or two options if we ever want to play in other fun or extreme ways

We may have skulls at least so that should help some

Don't forget the:

-easy to accidentally splatter marines
-getting splattered by your marines, even when you're being careful
-Hunter's taking damage regardless of where they are shot
-Stealth Elite's swords were visible
-unpilotable Wraith yet it had a reticle, indicating that it was intended to be pilotable

Those were some badly needed changes.

Since it's the Halo CE engine, they could have:

-easily adjusted the marine and cyborg damage modifier for the splatter damage
-made it so that Hunter's can't be one shotted and so their armor is invulnerable to damage. It makes them somewhat more harder to kill. Also make it so that Hunter's can dive from grenades (they can dive from grenades, but it's the same animation as their 'dive from vehicles').
-hopefully, the Stealth Elite's sword will no longer be visible. That's probably one thing they're doing right.

-I really think that making the Wraith drivable would make the Campaign more fun. It took some effort to flip a Wraith driver out of his Wraith. But all we got was a flip prompt.

keep it in... just dont use a pistol or sniper rifle if you want more of a challenge. do what i do, dont fire, just melee them to death.

Still way too easy because their armor takes damage.

The orange flesh may be exposed, but it isn't that exposed. It would be more challenging to try to get to that spot. The Hunter's shield is the only part that doesn't take damage.
