Hunters

[A_L00s3_Scr3w]

Does anyone think Hunters will return in Halo 4? I personally hope they do, because they were always the most challenging opponent.

[Baby Boo]

No, they will likely not. Hunters are covenant. Covenant are scarce in halo 4.

[A_L00s3_Scr3w]

Ah, shoot. I wanted to see what they would look like. They're awesome! D:

[SatanicBagels]

No, they will likely not. Hunters are covenant. Covenant are scarce in halo 4.

 

While I don't think that they will be making a common appearance, I'd be shocked if they didn't make at least one appearance as a mini-boss type part.

[D-Wade]

Yes, please. The covenant would be weak without it

[WonderWombat]

Yes, please. The covenant would be weak without it

Too late, they've already achieved weakness once they lost the San'Shyuum.

[Zuko 'Zarhamee]

If Hunters are not in Halo 4 then 343industries is even more foolish than I thought.

[Sierra 119]

They`ve been in every other so hopefully. Or mabye a Promthean-Hunter variant.

I imagine that the Prometheans will have their own take on a mini-boss type enemy. There's actually another thread discussing this on the Halo 4 sub-forums if your interested. It should be interesting to see what 343 industries comes up with in this regard.

No, they will likely not. Hunters are covenant. Covenant are scarce in halo 4.

I do not believe this to be a very credable explanation.

 

I do know that the covenant will not be playing as much of an intergrale role in Halo 4, but to take away one of the most powerful races would just be stupid.

 

so therefore we do not know if they will be in Halo 4 we have not seen any game play with them but I'm sure they will and I don't think just flat out saying they will not be in the game because the covenant are scarce is not very credable. So I say good day.

Halo would not be Halo without those tank-like threats. We need Hunters in H4.

Clearly, you did not see the part that said "likely" not. Meaning I didn't say for certain.

[Victory Element]

maybe the prometheans will have a hunter variant if the covenant ones dont return......but they should be back. they have been a part of halo since the beginning!

[Ins4nek1ll4]

honestly i hope they have some forerunner type hunter .. something of forerunner race that is as hard as a hunter

[Twinreaper]

While Hunters are great threats, I.always found them easy to.fight against. Their limited engagement style made them.easy to.trap in performing over and over again the same attack....which at that point you just widdled them down. If they were to give the Hunters a more varied combat response field....then Yes.... Halo 4 should have those.hunkering garbage cans rwturn.

[Katthejedi]

It's possible that they just might I hope so. Like you said they were awesome and the most challenging.

[Wes Stone501]

It's confirmed in this weeks bulletin

[Forerunner Reclaimer]

Hunters are back! It is one of the achievements for Halo 4, killing a Hunter

[Tallgeese]

Yep as stated above, there are 2 achievements that deal with Hunters directly in halo 4. So yep they are returning. It would appear they are making them harder to kill this time around as well...kinda like in Halo CE

[MCPO Mayh3m]

What if they are referring to Promethian Hunters?

[Tallgeese]

@ Total Mayhem: Are thee even promethean hunters? that is a good point you brought up...but I think they are referring to covie hunters, they have been a staple of Hlao since CE

[Wes Stone501]

They are hard to kill in Halo CE?! It's one shot to the back with the pistol on LEGENDARY. Super easy! Now reach on the other hand...

[A_L00s3_Scr3w]

Ecstatic to see Hunters back for Halo 4! Time to hook some of those Lekgolo worms and use them as bait!

[The Director]

Yeah, the hunters were super easy to kill on CE lol

 

Then on Halo 2 you had to have a heavy weapon.

 

Then on Halo 3 you had to have a heavy weapon and a lot of luck...

 

Then on Reach you had to have a heavy weapon, skill, and a bunch of luck......

 

Honestly, not sure if I'm looking forward to Halo 4 hunters or not...

[Ins4nek1ll4]

What if they are referring to Promethian Hunters?

honestly i do not think that they would call them Promethean hunters .. that is not a very creative name and is very dull ... they would most likely change the name if they made a promethean type hunter
