Join my group:

Halo 3 Multiplayer Group

The main aim of this group is to express our ideas on how to improve Halo multiplayer in the next game.

1) NO LOCKING ANY THREADS
2) No more searching through pages and pages to see if your topic has already been discussed
3) Stickies are updated as more ideas flow in, so you dont have to read a whole thread, just read the top post!

Cover them with 10 meter spikes and give them a flame thrower in one hand, rockets that shoot out of their heads, the other hand shoots 5 shots of a plasma cannon, and if they touch you you evaporate. Oh yeah, when you shoot at them, make the projectile bounce off their armor and home back on you! That'll prove to be a challange.

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.


I actually found the Halo 1 Hunters much more fearsome. At least in that one they were usually in enclosed spaces, and there werent any snipers/turrets to easily mow them down with. Sure, you got the occasional rocket, but that only held 8, and it is hard as hell to conserve a rocket in campaign, especially when dealing with vehicles and large quantities of covenant.

I think they'll be our allies in H3, so you don't need to kill them... But otherwise, it would be cool..

OK. Everyone here mod you xbox or 360 for halo2.

Then make yourself invincible. then make the hunters have "Juggernaut Flood" legs, a 5 times a bigger shield, 5 cannons on their hand, active and killing swords on back, and a cannon that fires 10 grunts at a time.

Then fight them. Its really fun. Your invincible, they're unbeatable. i went on for hours against the 2 on outskirts. and legendary mode. oooooooooooo. even funner.

P-S infinate ammo and modded up weapons help-ish.


Don't mod or bridge on live though. its dumb. its illegal. its no fair on the people who loose to you. no matter how fun it seems... DO NOT MOD ON LIVE.

My group was thinking a bigger hunter, like two hunters combine into one. It's armor would have spikes and stuff. Yeaahh...Awesume.

  • 06.21.2006 1:02 AM PDT

Let grunts Sleep!!!

In H2 you can run up really close to them and they just stand there. You can just shoot them and they die.

The Easyest way to make Hunters Scaryer is to give them back the fule rod cannon and have them fight in Tandem with other Covenant Forces.Even the Halo1 Hunters would have been much more Formindable if they were Suppourted by Elites/Grunts/Jackals and the like.

Think about it...every Hunters weakness is reduced when they have other Covenant forces fighting along side them...

I want a few levels where the Covenant are still fighting as one, because the news of the Civil War hasn't reached Earth yet..I wanna kill some squid, and lobster ;)


Maybe 2 levels on REACH to introduce the new SPARTANs, so people who won't read to understand why they'll be in the game won't get upset.

If they listen again the hunter will become 13 ft tall! Hunters were 2 feet taller in halo2! No one shot kill in back! The have more moves! So make them louder and more angry instead.

Hunters simply need to be paired with Elites. 2 Hunters and 4 Elites; the elites would cover the hunter's back (sometimes literally), and cover their weaknesses. The Hunters would provide the main punch and obliterate most things when left alone.

I also want to see hunters obliterate a vehicle; in Halo 2, you only fought them on foot. In halo 1, those hunters (which were a joke compared) would destroy your vehicle outright if you weren't careful.

Sending 2 hunters in by themselves is foolish, and provide little challenge. They are scary, but when I can simply dodge a single melee (the same way every time, too) and pump a shot (halo 1 pistol or halo 2 sniper rifle) to their back while their mate is busy shooting my guys, it just doesn't feel like they're threatening.

an idea i honestly reckon nobody has thought of - if your about to run a hunter over, it just worms out of the armour and into a big orange puddle then re-forms itself and shoots you - a hunter that took control of its multi - organism abilities would be hard to beat

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I know what you're saying. I do have a harder time with drones than I do Hunters. They need to either make them stronger or deploy them in close quarter combat. Somewhere where it's hard to jump out of the way.

I thought the hunters on H2 were fine (apart from the crappy weapon) I've only just learnt how to dodge them, don't!

I like the Hunter Halo CE version more that the H2 version, in H3 I would like to see two more classes of Hunters:

Heavy Hunter: somesort of better Plasma cannon and has black armor work with Spec ops Elites and grunts.

Royal Hunters: Plasma Thrower (flamethrower), bigger more sacarier shield have 2 more spikes and have somesort of different helmet that makes them look more aggresive and have Golden armor

wicked Idea: Cloaked Hunters (on legendary difficulty)

I wondered if anyone would remember that.

It would be nice if there was some way we could have them back as enemies, otherwise there is no point in making them cooler.

I like the idea of different types of Hunter. They are just collections of worms, they could animate any shape of armor.

Maybe there could be red Hunters that have needler cannons (has the same rate of fire as the warthog gun only it fires large, highspeed needles).

Giant, black, spec-ops Hunters that fire wraith-style mortar rounds.

Their armor could have the same sort of antigrav units as the wraiths. They wouldn't need legs, they could just hover. Or they could be like sentient dropships (like the ones in HALF-LIFE 2).

Now that the Covenant is broken and the Ark is there as a temptation, maybe all the races of the Covenant would fight each other over control of the Ark. They would deploy their native weapons and vehicles, and you would be in the middle with everyone's hand against you.

You'd fight new kinds of Hunters, sword and lance weilding Jackals on giant ostrich/velociraptor steeds, with axe beaks, Grunts in giant tripod war machines, or mechas. Maybe scarabs are Drone tech, and if you manage to bring it to a halt by shooting out its legs, then swarms of Drones fly out.

What would a Jackal ship look like? Or a Hunter ship?

Make there weak spot not a one hit kill, make it like a less powerful armor that you have to shoot until it falls off or whatever, then you let hell loose on them..

One thing that i would fu-cking love would be jumping on them as if there a vehicule and shooting them in the neck or something, maybe sticking a grenade inbetween there armor or a sticky if you have one. Whatever, just would be nice.

I'd also like to use a hunter.. just for fun.
