Now that there's a Hunter!

It wasn't a matter of game balance, it was a matter of techinical limitations. Firefight originally ran on a modified Campaign engine, where if a player dropped out, it ended the game. However, IIRC I've seen people drop out of games during Network Test 1, which was a test of the new multiplayer campaign engine, so I think it's been resolved.

@Teekup.
Heres a bigger picture.

really wish they'd gone with the Zoanoid aesthetic for the rest of the Hunter, not just the head.

Oh my...)


There are other surprises in Reach, including multiplayer modes that weren't playable in the recent public Beta, more new vehicles and a fully-featured level-editor that's so powerful, Bungie developers used it to create a few of the maps that will come with the game :ohboy:

pretty sure that's a mis-quote, it's been fairly thoroughly argued out on HBO.

And if it's not a misquote?

It'd be great to be wrong in this case, but it's not likely.

also I think Exam's going to -rep you

Holy shit, Hunters look fucking awesome.

And is it just me, or does this grunt look like a Transformer or something? Either way, it's fucked up.
