Re: hunter forms and other stuff
Posted By: Stephen L. (SoundEffect) <soundeffect@hotmail.com>Date: 5/16/05 4:21 p.m.

In Response To: hunter forms and other stuff (Morgalad)

: i think these have all been awesome ideas about the different hunter forms.
: Maybe we'll see more in H3. Also, the earlier theroy of a "core
: worm" makes a lot of sense, considering their vulnerabilities. A shot
: to the back from the snipe or the beam (or the pistol from H1) would kill
: the core worm, a rocket would destroy enough body mass to bring the hunter
: down, and the fuel rod would irradiate the entire organism enough to
: perhaps render the symbiosis unable to function. Anything else would cause
: only superficial damage, which could be regenerated unless you poured a
: LOT of fire into them.

: also the bit about the bipedal form being the most efficient or useful: maybe
: in H3, there will be different types of enviornments that would
: necessitate different hunter forms (e.g. aquatic)

: finally, the debate over who would win: a hundred Grunts vs. two Hunters.
: I think the Grunts would (unless they all got scared) because of the bit I
: said earlier about massed fire. That much plasma would literally cook the
: Hunters in their armor. This, of course would require all the Grunts to
: gather 'round and sing "We are the champions" and do little
: grunty dances.
: Which is just awesome.

Just to add to that example. In The Maw, I was in the Autumn just before you reach the Armory and Engineering, and a small room looking onto a corridir with Flood and Covenant duking it out. I stayed in the window and watched as 5 Flood Infection Forms took down one Hunter. Took almost five full minutes for it to happen, but the Flood managed to kill the Hunter. Quite impressive little buggers.
