I mean, all's you have to do is get behind them and shoot them once in the orange spot. So easy, and yet, so hard...

It is true, not only that, but if you can time it right you can kill them in the front, with one shot as well.

They are still fun to mess with though.

any clean shot to the orange spot in the midsection will kill them. but it needs to be either a sniper, pistol or shotty. if you really bored with them kill them using only melee's. it's not as hard as it sounds, one you get the rythm down you'll literally be dancing around them.

They're just the same in Halo 2, (if you shoot them with the sniper rifle), except they have a killer backhand and a poorly-designed weapon in comparison.

More defense, more challenge.

Escape will make me god.

There are somethings that just can't be explained no matter how you slice it. Learn to live with it.

I'm not complaining its fun to f**k with them!

actually i disagree on that one. other than the backhand, they were easier to me. same rules apply, bet behind them and shoot them with a shotty or sniper. you can still do the repetitive melee thing, just dodge the backhand.

That is a lie, the new fuel rod is evil. It launched a crate at my face on Gravemind. But yes, hunters in H1 do suck.

Of course the hunters suck, those leviathans can take several rockets, but one bullet from a pistol is instant death, on any difficulty.

If you time it right you can get Hunters to nail each other too...
You try it on Legendary?

I think someone should make a video of killing a hunter with a single plasma pistol. Whoever does it the quickest (on legendary) gets... flamed.

I like the Hunters in CE more because you have more options at your disposal besides putting a bullet in their orange spot. You can melee them, lure them near the edge and side step after they charge at you, maneuver in between a pair of Hunters and with good timing get them to melee each other to death, etc. The Hunters in Halo 2 while more powerful aren't fun IMO because the only way to kill them as far as I can tell is to pump them full of lead/plasma at their orange spot.

On another note has anyone noticed that the Halo 2 Hunters hit registration is way off on their melees? I clearly step out of range of their backhand strike but I still get hit and die.

I think the CMT guys made what Hunters should of been in the campaign mod on Halo Custom Edition. If any of you guys have HPC, go check out their mod.

Hunters were scary to look at but not when you killed em without any hesitation.

Only if you play it on easy. For me is easy in any difficulty, but still, the Hunters are cool.

I like the hunter's weapon in Halo 1, and I liked how you could melee them to death. Halo 2 took the fun out of hunters.
