Imagine the first time you will encounter Hunters in Halo3

This should be a very epic and remembered experience, think about this...

You just got done destroying a very hard and disturbingly large group of covenent, something you havent experienced in Halo CE or 2, shields are recharging, and as soon as they recharge...BAM!!! 2 hunters bust throw the walls.. but they stand there... like they are waiting.. then suddenly a covenent dropship is hovering on top of them....

Out from the portal comes a Red Armored Hunter with two shields and 2 large shoulder mounted plasma cannons. The two blue hunters come and charge at you, you hide behind a pillar, SLAM!! the pillar is desicrated by the first hunters charge, and now your facing plsma fire from 4 cannons.

Now you mean business, you jump on top of some boxes and jump over the first hunter, get behind him.. he turns around and charges, you doge it turn around and fire into his back... you do the same to the second hunter and now they are both dead..

Now the Red hunter has a few tricks.. he charges you, passes you and when you turn around you notice one of his should mounted weapons is pointing at you.. then fires.. you get out of the way and notice on top of that weapon firing he put one of his arms around his back blocking your only attack point..

so now what you have to do is fire at his plasma cannons and destroy them, which is kind of challanging when on a moving target. So after you destroy those, all he has is his shields. Finally he comes at you and tries to hit you with both of his shields, throwing both his arms up in the air. In this situation you throw a plasma nade on its gut and start firing.

BOOOM the hunter gets cut in half.. but its not over... he still tries to crawl at you and hit you one last time,using his shields as legs.. before it bleeds to death, it misses and you shoot it in the neck... then the battle is over..... time to finish the war.

That sounds disturbingly like a boss battle, to which I say no, no, no.

Not really, a lot of people here are talking about how the hunters are too easy in halo2.. so in reality it can show up multiple times, not just in the one instance.. the first time tho has to be dramatic.. look at Halo2's hunter entrence, they broke a door down.. its no different then that, just harder...

now imagine 2 red hunters a group of brutes some jackels, and drones against, the MC some ODST's and some marines...Also Might I add, some flood also for effect..

2 Red hunters, Brutes, Jackels, Hunters, Drones / Covenent Vehicles

VS

ODSTs, Marines, Master Chief, Elites, grunts.. / Human Vehicles

VS

FLOOD which take over the dead.. Human and covenent forces./human-covenent vehicles



that my friend is what we have been waiting for...

a war like scenerio..

your completely overdoing it, too much imagination and no reason for two shields

before i get called a flamer i do have some input

the red hunter as a leader is a good idea but perhaps just leave it with the one shield, but more accurate, a bit faster on the move and, behind the shield is its other hand, with another fuel rod attached

hell yeah i said it, its what we want.. think about the beach battle in Halo1 x 10 with vehicles..

Wraith, Spectres, Ghosts, Banshees,

VS

Tanks, Warthogs, Guass Hogs, Maybe a new Flying human vehicle

on top of phantoms and pelicants dropping off more and more enemies and new vehicles..
at this point you have to fight before you move forward, and you cant ignore it.. maybe call this level... Road to Voi
