[img]http://puu.sh/1jatQ[/img] From the preview of the next FuD, dis gon be goooood. On a related note I think Hunters are my fave of all the covinent because they're so... unique. I just love finding out info about them.
Why does Halo 3 still look so beautiful but Halo Reach and Halo 4 don't come anywhere near?
It's a different kind of beauty, one that transcends all realms of science and possible rational explanation
[QUOTE=Smas;38203300]Oh yeah, speaking of Halo 3 dumpsters, I remember a scene where me and my friend were hiding inside the dumpster taking potshots at the Covenant forces while my brother pushed us around with a Warthog. It would look sort of like this, but with a blue elite in there as well: [img]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3298/3315686064_9bfa186c31.jpg[/img] Also, sorry if the image fucks up, it's being hosted on flicker.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of this.

[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;38203556]Why does Halo 3 still look so beautiful but Halo Reach and Halo 4 don't come anywhere near?[/QUOTE] Halo Reach is arguable, but Halo 4 is without a doubt better looking than Halo 3. The textures, the models, and especially the lighting make it way sexier.
[QUOTE=MadBomber;38203647]Well it presents an interesting challenge, do it.[/QUOTE] Even I have standards

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;38203785]Have you seen enough hentai to know where this could go?[/QUOTE] yes But I only watch protected hentai porn. where half the comic is the tentacle beast putting on all 320 condoms. I'm not drawing 320 condoms.
Reading up on the Mgalekgolo (Hunter) and holy crap they are an extremely fascinating species. They are Hunters and Scarabs and probably many other crazy things in the Covenant arsenal. The Hunters are actually the smallest forms of them! And apparently in Reach the Hunters have forerunner symbols on their shoulders. Very intriguing.
I think we should make a new thread when Halo 4 comes out, or a week before it comes out.
[QUOTE=Jurikuer;38203919]And apparently in Reach the Hunters have forerunner symbols on their shoulders. Very intriguing.[/QUOTE] Mainly all of the Covenant's arsenal is from forerunner tech. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the alloy mixture from the hunter's armor is a Forerunner recipe and/or metal. Also did you know that in one incident that when the Covenant's first encounter with the hunters, the hunters main food supply was valuable forerunner artifacts?

No that wasn't mentioned in the wiki. Crazy.
The hunters also decimated the covenant invasion forces during their first war. The only reason the covenant could assimilate them was because they could glass their planet.
They would of anally annihilated the Hunters' planet if the plannet didn't have forerunner tech on it.

Okay guys I'm watching Halo legends right now and I just finished the Episode with Spartan 1337. And what the flying fuck just happened!? Was that a serious episode? Should I take anything that happened there seriously? Because it felt like a rip off of dragonball z for crying out loud!

I wish Vickers hadn't been so god damned stupid and instead of trying to charge the elite he had simply thrown the fire extinguisher (?) down the other end of the room so it'd make some noise and draw the Elite's attention up that way. What a twat.

What a twat.[/QUOTE] If he hadn't done anything at all MC would have gotten there in about 30 seconds and he'd still be alive. Instead we got to see an elite deal with what was probably one of the least threatening things he's ever encountered.

Starting with Lasky.[/QUOTE] The elite didn't see them, and has just been contacted via radio(from the sounds of things). When Vickers ran out, somebody called out his name when he got cut down.
Have we actually seen any Storm Hunters yet? Are they even IN halo 4?
I feel really bad for laughing at Vickers' death. It was just so fast and sudden and he did nothing.
What if vickers threw the fire extinguisher at the door while chief was entering the room.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;38204757]Its a bunch of writer's ideas on what the lore is to them. Nothing is canon.[/QUOTE] Most of the stories in Legends are canon, Spartan 1337 is not however.

Also no-one posted the Bulletin?

What is it with 343i and giving people giant fucking feet :v:
Why are there Hunters in Storm? Before the Covenant they were a Tier 2 species and now the Prophets are dead.
