I hope that Bungie brings back the old Hunter, the one that had the Fule Rod Cannon
I mean what is this tracter beam thing?
First of all they only take one shot ever 3 minutes. Second after the take they shot they cant change direction and have to wait till its over. It barly hurts u if it hits you.

I liked the old hunter. Were it took 2 or 3 shots in accsession, was more accuurate, And the hunter movied faster maknig another challenge in the game. Also i have to addmit it looked better in halo one. Also make it harder to kill. In the books they portray this massive tank like warrior that is almost impossialbe for the master chife to kill. Yet in both Halo one and two you faced with them on a regular bacies. And also another thing i hate is when u stick them in halo 2 they frezze up, one shot in the back and there dead. At least in halo 1 you had to avoid there metal shild and then shoot them in the back. And maybe they should make the orange spot in the back dissaper or smaller. And give them more of a face. lol i mean in halo 2 and 1 it was an orangle blob.

Halo 1 Hunter
Halo2 Hunter -

Post you opinions weather we should get a Hunter based on Halo 1 or Halo 2.

I agree, in Halo 1 the Hunters were more challenging. (They were also fun when you made them chase you) lol.

The Halo 1 Hunter was not a challenge. The Fuel Rod Gun they shot was horendesly inaccurate. In Halo 2 they would track you so if you jumped the beam would hit you instead of the old one where you could just jump over it.

In Halo 1 they were easier to kill because you could kill them with any weapon, on any spot on thier armor. In Halo 2 you could only damage them in the orange spots, also in Halo 2 melee's don't hurt them.

In Halo 1 they wouldn't throw things around to get to you or attack you when they were behind you.

So I think that Bungie did improve on the Hunter in Halo 2, but they could do more in Halo 3.

Um. Stop playing on easy and stop over exageratig. They fire it 1 round after another space of about 3 seconds. Play Legendary. Not so easy huh? plus they are a challenge, harder to avoid their shield, and no more cheap one shot take downs either.

And those links don't work.

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

I think they should keep the hunter beam in Halo 2 but make it stronger and make them shoot more but then again what mode do you play because any1 who has played legendary will know how strong it is aka 1 shoot kill.

so what your saying is that you never picked up on going in a circle either to the left or the right to kill a hunter in Halo 1 on any difficulty setting...

I prefer the halo 2 hunters but i agree with the cannon idea...bring the old one back...

Halo 1 hunters was just a dance and then instant death

In Halo1 it only took 1 pistol shot in the back to kill them and also you could stand behind them and just beat them to death.
In Halo2 it doesn't take one shot to kill them, When you stand behind them they can still hit you. Melee is useless and they can hit you in the air when you try to jump over them.
Bunjie has made a well needed improvement.

my first time playing Halo 2 was heroic with a friend when I first fought the Hunters I was like, this is gonna take a lot of tries, cause we'd restart if one of us died. Then it fired a... Beam? I was like beam? what's scary about a beam? what happened to explosive bolts? I just jumped on a truck and it fired at me, I got hit and checked my shields cause I wanted to know how powerful this beam thing was, I was hardly missing a quarter. It's pathetic.

They were way easier in Halo 1. You don't even have avoid their melee attacks in that game,you just wait until the raise their shields and shoot them once with sniper or pistol.

That being said,they are way more fun to fight in Halo 1.

Also you peoiple saying i'm playing on Eeasy, i played on Heroic and dont bother with SP anymore cuz its boaring, but u can still kill the hunter easily with a magnum bullet to the face or back. And yes they wer easir to kill halo2 they would try to hit uyou and you would end up behind them then they would do that thing were the shilds vccomes over there herad to smash u, Easy to dodge then they are imoblize for a second, while u can shoot them with bullets into there face or back while they get ready to attaack again

The halo1 hunter was a toy. You could simply sit there and punch them to kill them and they would die very very easily. That halo2 hunter is bigger, faster, stronger and smarter. Plus they got rid of the stupid hit them in the orange/pink for a instant kill. Now the only way to hurt them is to hit them in the orange/pink. They were simply a oversized grunt in my eyes. Altho they are still easy to kill they take more time then the ones in halo1.

HAHA hunter in halo 1 where a joke.

how many time i took one down in halo 1 with the assault rifle on legendary, hundred of times

how many time i did this with a smg in halo2 on legendary, never.


in halo 1 i could beat them down on legendary and there melee was weak and the fuel rode was moving slow.

BTW i always play this game on legendary never tryed other difficulty

Actually they are easy to kill on both... They need to make it different from halo 1 and 2. In halo 1 they are easier to kill... And there was more damage in the 2nd one because (unless you play on like easy) they kill you in one hit... Its just easier to doge... They just need to make them way harder to fight... Like since there is 2 hunters and they are brothers then they need to make them cooperate more with each other in order to take you out. In halo 2 if you started to beat the hunter it would turn arround and run away so it could charge again... That is not very "hunter" like. A hunter would fight till the death and never expose its back to the enemy. Also they should be able to kill brutes easier I was playing and watching the hunter fight a brute and the brute had rage and the hunter got killed by it... They should be able to practically smack them out of the way... I don't know the just need to be waaaaay harder.

Okay i played halo one level 4 when there is a shat load of hunters, i played on legendary, and yes there easier. Becuase after i played The Outskirts on legendary and i found it about the same. all you have to do in Halo2 is stiock them with grenadaes there frozen and u shoot them. Also i let him smack me in both , halo one it took off my whole sheild first hit then he came back down and took me down to 3 yellow ticks. Halo 2 legnedary when he hit me took of less than a third of my shild. And i just stuck with plamas ez. So i have to say that they made it to easy in both game. I hope that its a challeng for Halo 3. And likeIrish MC said they should work in unison, i saw them bot clank into each other and one of them was pushed off an edge. I mean if u were abonded to another perosn would u ry to get the kill first and kill ur own brother? They deffinatly need more cooperation.

man...

the hunters are great, no halo without hunters but,

in halo1 the hunters were like already sad, toys for 3year old
when you stand still the Fuelrod did not even hit you, and when he smasht, go in a derection and he mis...
1shot with a pistol and BAM gone... the name ledgolo means a hundred ore something in that way... so 1shot? whith a pistol????
sucks...
me and my brother even played with those hunters in a way that they will beat each other in to crap, but that was fun ;)

unlike halo2
and yes I have played it on legendary
exept for the modified fuel rod cannon... which I also wantet to be a Fuel rod gun

the are hard to kill...
strong weapon
powerfull smash atack, wich is hard to escape from...
the back-smash also powerfull
somethimes you will even need 2 rockets to kill one.
and they are beter the way they look in halo2.
can't wait until halo3 come's out, and see the hunters( and hopefuly play with them )

they gotta be way stronger, cause i think the brutes are harder to kil on legendary

  • 06.13.2006 4:29 PM PDT

Yeah Halo 3 Hunters, (if we get to fight them) shouldn't have a one shot kill thing going on. Also I know the idea was that Hunters work in pairs, well how bout they fight in pairs and you fight like 10 of those pairs at a time! I personnally think Hunters the coolest enemies you fight in the Halo series.
