Subject: Your first reaction to Hunters.

If I am not mistaken, the first encounter we had with Hunters was on the level Silent Cartographer in Halo:CE.

There were four pairs in that level:
1.) A pair posted at the opening that Foehammer enters at the end of the level to start the level, "Assault on the Control Room"
2.) A pair that comes running toward you right before you shut down the security system so that the MC can get through the door leading to the map room.
3.) A pair guarding the entrance to the map room before you reenter it.
4.) A pair inside the multi level arena that the MC must navigate to reach the map room.

What was your reaction when that pair started firing on you at the control rooms entrance (i.e: number 1)? I honestly don't remember mine, considering that was over six -blam!- years ago.

Share your thoughts, please!

EDIT! - Yeah, so I was mistaken! The first encounter we had with Hunters in the Halo universe was at the gravity lift during the level of Truth and Reconciliation. Sorry!

Actually (not including urhellawaits sighting) the first time you see em is in the center of the island. And the others pop up before you press the button. And I don't know what my reaction was.

Well, since it was such a long time ago, I really don't remember my reaction. I'm not sure if anyone (that played it back on the Xbox launch) remembers.

You don't see them on the POA on legendary and the first time you see them is on the T&R. I knew how to kill them thanks to my friend telling me and after watching him numerous times doing it on Halo 2.

SEV I hope you are joking, right?! I have a question what is the fastest way to kill them or what are their weakest spotest?

  • 02.25.2006 7:56 PM PDT

No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected
of him. He is after all, just doing his job.

Halo 1: Wow, that was pretty hard to shoot once (not kidding, I actually killed my first Hunter that I ever saw in one shot)
Halo 2: AWESOME! They took out the one-shot kill thing! I also liked how they themed them smashing down the doors on Outskirts, but that would have been better if they didn't slowly beat them down, just bashed them open and the doors went flying off, and they shot the crap out of you.

Honestly, the game set you up so much to get you in the mindset "I am God, I can blow through any number of enemies and still have health", that I just blasted away with a BR.

Not sure when I learned the pistol trick, but it definetely made it easier.

I nevr felt like God in Halo. In Heroic or especially legendary you are lucky to be alive. In legendary Marines last longer the me.

First time I found them was during the demo. They were in the middle of the Silent Cartographer, and I really didn't notice them. I did notice their blasts. Sorta went like this:

Me: Ooo...health pack
*walks toward health pack
BOOM (aka they shot at me)
Me: what was th-
BOOM BOOM
Me: Ahh! Big people monster thingys.

I then proceeded to hide behind trees and every once and awhile shoot at them with my AR. T'was a fun 5 minutes of hiding and shooting madly with the AR 20 meters away ( 'cause I figured the elites hurt you when you got close, so those things would clober you).

Eventually I took out my pistol and fired all 12 rounds into thier blue armor. Then they died.


Looking back, I really should have aimed at the orange skin and not the armor....oh well.
