I mean COME ON!

The hunters are supposed to be these huge armored juggernauts that destroy everything, and on Halo 2 Legendary they are less of a threat than a pack of drones. Seriously!

Make them at least nearly invincible! But I don't want to fight something called "Hunter" when a mouse is scarier.

If you think they're easy in Halo 2, you must think the Halo 1 ones are a complete joke.

Funny you say that, I went back and played Halo: CE on Legendary recently and it was much, much easier than I recall. Hunters were simple to beat, but the game as a whole was a lot easier. Must be all that multiplayer.

Agreed. I could play with the hunters in both games on legendary. When I see hunters, I want to say, "Oh, -blam!-," not "playtime!"

Yeah, I was doing The Maw on Ledgendary. EZ.

... But not when you have a Plasma Rifle.

Halo 1 hunters are a joke, they're more of a challenge in Halo 2. Either way, play it on legendary and you'll see how annoying drones can be, especially cairo station.

Cario Station is lacking in flood. Every kind of flood.

Yeah I agree. When I meet hunters I just like to toy with them when im bored. Just have em chase me around. Its pretty fun/funny. I like the fuel rod gun upgrade in Halo 2 for the hunters, but make them impenetrable. Make the weak spot on their back tiny. That kinda thing.

That was only because you had a one handed 50 cal rifle in Halo.

You cant spell slaughter without laughter

Halo CE hunters are harder if you ignore there weak spots... Halo 2 hunters are just a joke there weapon dosn't explode just gose straight out, The Halo CE ones exploded making them a bit of a threat.

They are invencible... only there armor. But how will they make them scary? What do you have in mind?

  • 06.20.2006 11:49 AM PDT

I agree, I would like to see hunters much more violent in Halo 3. They are massive creatures and should be feared...not "trickthemintocomingatyougoroundtheirbacksBAMBAMBAM!&quo t; They need to be a tad more intelligent. I would also like to see them Berserk similar to Brutes do when their comrades have been killed. Now that would really scare the s**t out of me...A charging hunter swinging its massive arm around in some sort of frenzy as it realises its life mate has been killed.

Awesome :D

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

HUNTERS ARE TEH COOL ehem.
Yes, I agree. I have two suggestions:
1. Make their melee attacks accurate; they always seem to miss the over-the-shoulder ones.
2. Make it so they have 2 weapons; Fuel rod cannon (the beam variant) and the fuel rod gun (the origional weapon) and can switch between the two depending on the situation, so for long range or inderect fire, the fuel rod gun is used. I'd love to see them use their FRG's actually as a mortar and fire into the air and bombard targets....<droooool>

The thng that made them so easy to take down in Halo 2 was the fact they don't crouch down and cover their front weak spot as effectively; they move around too much and too un-skillfully making it very easy to gte in behind. They should keep their ground and only move when tey have a high chance of hitting you. What would be cool to see is if you killed a hunter's brother, you hear a deafening roar from the other one and he goes into a kind of beserk, so he makes more mistakes but is much faster moving and attacking, more viscious in general.

What also seems to undermine them is it takes something like 5 hits of their shield to kill a marine! AI should be visibly sent flying with even one hit:- if it doesn't kill them, they simply get up again (this could be a similair script to that of the Flood regeneration)

EDIT
Hunters go around in pairs, but why only one pair? Why not 3? Or 6 even?
One other little addition... you know the one in the render gallery in the Halo section with the orange shield... wouldnt it be cool to see them in game, perhaps at a higher rank than other hunter pairs? Just a suggestion, mind.

2ND EDIT -Jeez I'm hopeless
They should also use their razorspines in close combat so you can't just jump over them when you get attacked (something I often do)
Also randomly, they seem to be vulnerable in all areas to GPMG fire....WTF?! Even a GMPG shouldn be able to penetrate Hunter armour!
Making the weakspot tiny- I agree. Hunter killing should be more of an art, like the thing you do with the bull and the red flag... Keep the one on the front the same however.

We've had this before; not possible UNLESS there are lots of flood forms for each Hunter, for each worm, but even then it may not work, because Flood require calcium stores, Hunters may not have any.

I think hunters shpuld be able to pick stuff up and throw it at you. Like a car. And they should have NO weak spots. After all they're suppossed to be nearly invincible.








Oh, and a flood hunter would be teh coolest!
