Mgalekgolo/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

From Halo 3: ODST to Halo Reach Hunters receive a considerable boost in accuracy, health, damage and overall lethality. The Assault Cannon is similar to it's original appearance in Halo: Combat Evolved, firing an incendiary blob of gel that explodes on impact, but accuracy and splash damage are greatly improved. Hunters will rarely aim directly at the player, instead shooting at their feet, relying more on the splash damage then the actual projectile. Melee attacks by Hunters are much faster and more powerful, making them much more difficult to engage in close quarters. Hunters will use their shields more efficiently, protecting their exposed midsection and necks when attacked, making attacks on the back section the only viable option to kill them. They also display much greater resistance to most forms of damage, capable of surviving rockets and Spartan Laser hits head-on on Heroic difficulty. They are encountered rarely, but they are extremely dangerous on any difficulty.
