I like the Hunters. My friend and I play co-op a lot, and we're always trying to find new ways to kill them. Much riskier ways, I might add.
Did you know, if you dodge the shield melee, but stay in front of the Hunter, then run forward and start melee'ing it in its stomach, as long as you keep meleeing, it stuns the Hunter? It doesn't deal damage, but they recoil from the melee impact and can't move. It's kinda wierd, but also kinda cool for co-op, and it looks funny as heck from a different screen.
I'm currently working on trying to shotgun a Hunter in the stomach without getting slapped by the shield. The only level I ever seem to have this opportunity on is Regret for some reason.
I think the Hunters' weapon should change a little, but I think it should stay a beam. The beam is cooler than the cannon, to me, but I think they should make the beam's initial impact with an object/the environment/ the player be explosive. Think it'd be kinda cool.
o.O Picture this, you've got your back to a wall across from a Hunter, he shoots and you side step the beam, but then this huge explosion erupts from the wall behind you, and your shields drop, then the beam starts chasing you until the shot is over. O.o
And by the way, Hunter pairs aren't "brothers". The Hunters are a sexless hive of organisms taking form inside the armour. The Hunter pairs are mates, love partners, sex buddies. They aren't genderless, but they're like snails, I think is right. They're basically both sexes, but they need a mate anyway.
^_^ Hunters are cool.
