How crazy are the Hunters? What makes them different than Halo Reach?
Exactly where I saw hunters they had the thruster pack, and they were so fast and had a much longer melee range, that if you got up close to them to shoot them with a shotgun without this I would often end up dead by melee. So you could get close shoot them, and then evade them using it, it was really cool.

Aim at the back. Plenty effective.
Gotta know how to Halo man...

Lol. Remember when a pistol shot to the back killed them? I do too.
And in every game but Halo Reach you could just blast them in the face.

Sounds pretty awesome. I always love it when the Hunter AI gains a rehaul, mainly because Hunters have only been scary a handful of times throughout the series.

Halo CE was scary, but easy to kill with one shot.
Reach on legendary I've pumped like 10 shells into the back, and it takes ~10 front hits with a guass hog to kill.

Yeah the Reach suckas were tough shit, but they were kind of clumsy. I like that they were intimidating at least though. Halo 3's campaign was so rushed that they hardly left an impact beyond the occasional "I'm big, bad, and kill me please."

Actually, shooting them in the face with the needle rifle is an extremely effective way to deal with them. Remember those Hunters at the entrance to Sword Base? That's precisely how I kill them.
Re: Halo 4 prerelease discussion
Hunters in Reach were annoyingly hard, the ones in H4 are really fun to fight as you can quickly dodge their attacks with AA's and sprint. Also, there's always fun anti hunter guns to fight them most of the time when you find them.

Fuck yes. That was basically the only efficient way to kill them in Heroic/Legendary.

You do know you can get the guass hog to that point and just shoot them with that? It's what I always do.
