    Should Hunters be in the game?

    I wanted to know if any one thinks that the Hunters should be in Halo Wars. It's been a while since I read The Fall of Reach but I'm pretty sure that the Hunters weren't really known of until shortly before Reach was attacked. With that said, since the game takes place in the beginning of the war should Hunters be seen in the game? I personally would still like to see them. If I'm mistaken about that time that they were introduced please let me know.

    Actually, they were encountered first at Sigma Octanus IV. It doesn't call them HUnters, but it does mention a big creature witha  big gun and shield.

    And Spartan III Alpha Company met them at Operation: PROMETHEUS, but Hunters couldn't be reported, as the Spartan III program was secret, and it would go against protocol.

    Was Sigma Octanus IV the one were the Spartans were going through the sewers to get into the city in order to find survivors before they blew up the city, and were they first saw the enginers? Or was that Operation: Prometheus? They both sound really familiar.

    I think it would be kick ass to have Hunters in the game...

    Sigma Octanus IV was the sewer one.

    Operation PROMETHEUS was at a Covenant refinery outside UNSC space.

    Prometheus would have actually been before Sigma right? Since I think Sigma was the mission blue team was on just before they were called to Reach to learn about their mission to capture a prophet. So even if they were known years before Halo 1 they wouldn't have been known by the main army because of that protocol like you said. Am I wrong on my thinking of the timeline?

    Yep, PROMETHEUS was first.

    OK so with that said what are your thoughts then? Do you think that they should be in the game then?

    Yes, Lekgolo(HUnters) are my favorite covie species.

    They rule, as they are eels.

    Indeed they rock. Now since they are so slow how would they get to the battle field. I would figure that they would have to add covie drop ships into the game

    well, seeming Hunters were discovered during Operation Prometheus, maybe Halo Wars will have them introduced later in the SP, it would be a little bloch on the time line tho

    I wonder how accurate they are going to try to keep things to the timeline, being that they aren't bungie

    You have to rember that we dont know what happens to the SoF. There could be hunters befor they were discovered because SoF could have been destroyed, or could not have had time to send a msg to command. So there could be hunters even tho they haddent been "discovered" by humains. it all depends on what happened to SoF and it's fleet. if they are never able to send a message to Command then we could see a new type of covenent (that wont happen i'm just saying that they could if they wanted to).

    yeah they could do it that way. That would probably be near the end of the game then. it would be kinda cool for a game to end on a dark note like that, you know the ship getting destroyed and everyone getting stranded like that. but I think that it would make me stand up and yell "what kinda ending is that!"

    Re: Should Hunters be in the game?

    I was also wondering if hunters would be in the game. Personally I love the idea of the hunters. Whats more fun than a gigantic walking eel with a fuel rod cannon strapped to its arm? The thing that conflicts with hunters for me though is this: If in multi-player one player plays the covenant forces and the other player plays the UNSC, both factions would have to be more or less equal right? (Kind of like the hawks that they added which are pretty much the counter to the banshees). So what could they add to the UNSC to counter the hunters?
