A Hunter is not one being, it is a collection of wormlike beings.

If you look at the Hunter's head plate at the right angle . . . it looks kinda like a shark head. .-.

In halo 1 my favorite way to kill a hunter is pobley using the needler. Just like compleatly unloading in its front/head/back orange spot and making blood go everywere. It literally just shoots out everywere. Also if u want to fight a hunter were its Hard play Halo 1 Legnendary on the Maw. You fight two hunters in a close encountered battle inside the corridors of the Piller of Autum. If u dont try and shoot him in the back with the pistol. Then thats actually a challeng. Try using a shotgun and ull send them to hell :P

Told ya. o.o After you sit and watch two Hunters standing beside each other, doing nothing to you because you're the Arbiter, for forty-five minutes, you kinda notice things. ._.

Just curious, but how many of you here try to get away from the Hunters in Halo 2, and try to get a better attack angle? o.o How many of us just charge the Hunters head-on?

I do charge them sometimes, but mostly I just work myself around them. I admit, I shoot them in the back a lot, but I spend many fights trying things out. ^_^

I'm gonna go to Outskirts and start messing around with those two right now. :P

i too believe that they should bring back the old hunters gun but leave the same elements of the new hunter. like the part whenb they swing at u with thier shield that they can swing backwards. before u can just stay in the back of the hunter and use even a plasma pistol to take it out.
also if u have notice the hunters travel in packs of 2 they call their packs"blood brothers" if u kill one of the hunters the other one will start to attack vigariously like the brute but slower and more powerful if u kill both with say a well placed plasma it will take care of that problem

Glowy orange shild Hunter

So your saying you like the old halo 1 hunters which were just huge walking targets that would hit and shoot eachother?

one shot from a pistol to kill the covenants most fearsome,strongest and armored warrior? No. In Halo 2 they actually were a threat since they would almost never expose any reasonable target., while in halo one they were usually not facing you exposing their brightly colored weakpoints to your gunfire.
HALO 2 Hunters all the way.

what happened to the glowing spots? they don't glow anymore. Halo 1 Hunters were 1337.

The fuel rod shot was a better weapon.


Wow your right i never noticed that. becuase if u do go in the back of the halo1 hunter u can clearly see it glowing orange

you're right.
the halo 2 hunter guns are lame...
in halo they were a lot cooler.
and i always thought it was kind of dumb to give them barely any face.
maybe in halo 3 they could have proper faces??
and on normal in halo 2, i can kill them with a magnum...

and in the books it says that the spines on their backs are deadly.
but ive jumped on their backs a million times so far... nothing happened to me...

btw, why is it that none of your image links work?

They could be used as spec op. hunters, maybe it would be able to take more hits to the back

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

i think there was more intense combat with those halo 1 hunters if you chose not to use the one shot pistol kill

the greatest times in halo 1 were on aotcr in those small rooms with 2 hunters on legendary and you only use your AR on them and bunt them alot oh good times, hunters in halo2 were a little harder but not as fun, although the hunters in halo 2 were really annoying

And maybe have black armor? That would be cool to. Or even like the ekliets how they have color coded. Like Blue-Private Black Spec ops Maroon Scarb Driver Red- Veteran - Silver Feild master Gold Unit Leader camo-spec ops. Maybe hunters could have different color armors? So it would be harder to kill the differnt colord armor they have.

Yes the old hunter gun was better if it was stronger and more accurate. On legendary th hunter did not even take of much damge if it hit u with its tractor beam thing
