The hunters have kind of been like the bosses for Halo. I think they should get more power, life, ect. Playing through Halo: Combat evolved just to see the differences between Halo 1 and 2 I noticed the differences in hunters. First one shot kill to Halo 1 hunters and well many shots to kill a Halo 2 hunter , but still there not as big as a thrreat as they should. Hunters should be like the true "kill you" creature in the game. The hunter gun in Halo 1 is better then the Halo 2, but the hunter mele in Halo 2 is better then in Halo 1. And for some reason it seems that you can just run them over with a warthog, gost or any other kind or vehical and make it easy. Hunter in halo 3 should get a boarding move too. I dont know if they do have one in Halo 2 caus there isn't any leves were you fight a hunter in a vehical. How sweet would that be to have a hunter flip your warthog when you try to ram it. Awsome!
In Halo 2 there are very few hunter encouters, in Halo 3 there should be as many or more as there were in Halo 1.

Nah, I agree with him. They shouldn't make them Regret or Tartarus hard, just make them a little smarter.

I agree. I don't like the new Hunter gun... the old one felt like it had more of a punch to it.

That would be awesome, I mean just imagine you charging toward a hunter with a ghost, but it just smacks the ghost out of its way with you still inside it? its like being hit by a rocket or something. That would be awesome.

One thing in Halo 2 is the Hunter's back squash move so you can't just wack them in the back like in Halo:CE. You can't still kill them one shot with a sniper in the back or neck though. I think their gun should be more powerful and it would be nice if they were smarter, but they are just a whole bunch of tiny organisms living together for mutual benefit, they aren't gonna be that smart. One thing that annoys me is since they are made of millions of small whatever, shooting it with a sniper would just pass through taking out only a few and leaving a ton. A rocket would kill them in one shot but not much else.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

I would actually love to fly up to a Hunter in a ghost, only to have that Hunter hijack my ghost and ride it a couple yards, then have the ghost explode under its weight. That would be hilarious!

It would also look like a full grown man riding a tricicle if you think about it...

i like the idea of the hunter stealing the ghost but what about sumthing like that, like trying to ram it with a ghost but all it does is either just put out both its arms and hold it back, while sliding a few yards, or jumping onto the front and the ghost slowly gets grounded, or just dives intot he ground under its weight?
that would be cool

That would be great to see the Hunters -blam!- slap the vehicle that your driving and cause it to flip. Also, if you guys remember the E3 demo from 2004, Brutes were able to jump on the warthogs and yank out the driver. I never saw them do that in H2 so I'm assuming they took it out. That would be nice to have in H3 as well. As well as the melee combos MC did on those Brutes...but now I'm getting off topic. They should definitely make the hunters a force to be reckoned with!

if the new hunter gun had sum sort of affect were the beam that they shot would make an explosion if it hit solid mass that would be cool. Then the hunters would try to shoot at ur feet and for the first time in ur experience of playing halo u would say "o blam, a hunter"
