A couple of questions on how to kill stuff on Halo Reach.
Is there an easy way to kill Hunters?
How do you complete the part mission 10 or 11 where: you and Emile have just got off your Mongeese. There are covenant infantry running up towards you while a Wraith shoots at you from over a few large boulders. The Waraith is my main concern and I have rage quitted over it quite a few times.
If you guys could please answer my questions that would be great Any other Halo Reach discussion is fine

Yes. Kill Hunters with rockets or plasma grenades on their back.
The wraith is just boarding it.

It shoots somewhat slow enough to be avoidable until most of the infantry is cleared out of the way.

The hunters themselves seem to be easier to kill than ever.

Never played Halo 1 have you then huh?

Hunters in reach... fill them with lead.

A plasma grenade to the back when it is exposed shoot the hell out of it.

Wraith from a distance two rockets. Close up board it.

Wraith... wait till it drives off a cliff as usual?

I was noob back in 1.

A hunter's back is weak enough to punch it to death...eventually.

Not to mention their somewhat slowish turning and recovery from melee means it has been my main strategy to use only the pistol on them since halo 2 in anything under legendary.

Spartan Laser--->Hunter's exposed ass

Halo 1 = 1 pistol shot to the back, even on legendary. And you could run circles around them.

Grab a shotgun and do the toe-to-toe tango with the eel colony bastards.

Worms actually.

And Sniping them in the throat was always fun..

Real men beat them up with their bare hands.

Not really, they are still slow as all hell.

If you're talking about just over the jump with the mongoose and you're right next to a building, you can actually keep your mongoose (drive around the building over a small break in the chain link fence) and just drive past it all.

Lol, once took on a hunter on legendary with my fists, two actually. For about a minute my friend had being shouting "ARE YOU %^&* SUICIDAL?!". Least to say he lets me handle hunters now.

1 Sniper round to the exposed back or neck

The most effective method I know for defeating reach hunters is this. Grab a shotgun, sword, hammer, or automatic weapon, sprint right smack in the hunters face, jump over it (this takes a tad of practice) and make a hit and run attack in the back. Using explosive weapons is not as effective in reach as it was in Halo 3. It can be a bad waste of good resources. I've been playing a firefight and used nearly a whole compliment of grenades to take down a hunter. Then there's the second one. Hologram can also be effective, if you want it distracted, but then you're exchanging your armor ability for an ability which is near useless. It's your call. Sniper rounds will not take it down effectively enough unless you want to use half of your ammo simply attempting to hit it. It's tricky to hit the exposed parts with a sniper rifle. You also need to learn the movements it makes when an enemy is right next to them. Once you know those, you know which way to run so you don't get caught in a side-sweep.

Coolyo is right on one note: use melee on the hunter's back. I don't know how many hunters I've killed just punching the thing. It can work well with a shotgun.

On the other hand, I've never been a campaign person so I can't help you there.

Use a shotgun, and dance with it........
