Great for HALO fansJan 16, 2011
By Jennifer
This HALO toy has become one of my sons favorite toys. As all mothers with 9 year old sons know, a toy needs to be mighty durable to withstand the wear and tear a 9 year old has on it. Not only is this toy durable, but my son claims that this toy is just like the game. He said it looks the same, it moves the same, and it is "A blast!"
This toy also works well with many other toys that my son has. He enjoys the HALO Mega Blocks, and once he completes a Mega Block set, he uses this toy as well to play with the blocks.
 Good valueOct 06, 2010

I bought this pack for about 25 shipped. I really like it. It allows an interesting aspect of gameplay beyond the basic game.
It can be played straight out of the box, all you need is a pair of dice to have a complete game.
The maps in this pack are alot better than those available in the boosters.
The poses of the hunters are ok but not great. I think they would have been fine as a dual-base figure rather than as a large model on a single base.
I was a bit disappointed that the contents don't match the product description at all but it's not that big of a deal I guess.
In terms of gameplay the hunters are beasts to take down. It basically takes grenades to take em down. However, if you can manage to camp on their spawn points & then kill them you would win by default. The marines included are good because they are cheap & come w/ grenades unlike the standard booster marines. Between grenades & the sniper rifle the hunters can be defeated but it's still not easy.

not badMar 30, 2008

"death by samurai"
well, having only recently gotten into the swing of halo actionclix, i must amit i was rather excited about the exclusive packs (the warthog, the scarab, ad this one)
first off, the good:
Hunters:
each one has different stats, making them both unique fighting units and not just spammers
they have the def of sentinals with the movement of drones
they both have their signiture fuel rod/assault cannons and both have hand to hand combat abilities
in addition, they deal as much damage as any similar rarity master chief
and they have healths of 9 and 10
the marine:
cheap, cannon fodder
the BR and the SMG marines particularly
they're great for using if you have a SGT. Mjr. Johnson
the sniper lacks much of the power of his MC counterpart, but he still has the awesome double damage abilities of the human sniper rifle, at only 25 points more
Master Chief:
naturally, this guy kicks serious butt
he's got high health
high attack
high damage
high movement,
and he's one of the cheapest MCs out there
in addition he has take aim, and hand to hand attack
and lastly, the AR lets him, should he succed at a shot, shoot at anyone he chooses
this coul potentially act as a counter to the equally impressive arbiter, as this MC could target a weaker unit, succed at teh shot, then deal his damage to the arbiter
And lastly, the covenant turret (called the PPC or portable plasma cannon)
it leaves you open
like
really
really
open
it takes one turn to get on it
then, the next turn you can begin firing
granted, it does give you some nice bonuses for its cost of -4 def, immobility, ant the inability to fire your weapon or use abilities
in exchange, it gives you a damage of 3 and +3 attack
(for those new to the game, that means that the arbiter, who has active cammo and a sword, would have enough attack to auto hit anyone, and i mean, anyone)
however, this is not a weapon for powerfull characters like the MC or the arbiter
this is better used for grunts (which it has special rules for) or marines and the like, cheap units that can really benefit from the hurtin it can lay down
(and a special rule i like to play with is let the PPC take two or three shots each turn, to kinda of mimic the rapid fire capabilities it has)
and now
THE BAD:
not a whole lot, mostly superficial complaints
in terms of individual playability, the set is fine
the peices dont move, so it's more like warhammer or chess
in addition, on its own, the only scenario that can be set up is four on one
thats it
that's all you can do
so, as you can see, it can potentially get very boring, very fast
therefore, you wanna have MORE GUYS
(dont ya just love the way they plan these things out?)
also, i don't like the sculpts of the hunters, they seem awekward and bulky, like they were trying to fit something that should go on a large base onto a small one
to do this, they basicly each have on foot off the base, and that kind subracts form the whole immobile death machine look they get when firing their weapons
if that's not a big concern for you, then hey, whatever, but still, it just irks me
In short (sorry, that WAS kinda long)
this set will add valuable firepower at the cost of high points to your attack force, and works great if you already have grunts or marines, or even spartans that can benefit from their collegues
as a stand alone set for siblings, however, this set is sadly lacking
however, it should be noted that all the sets for halo actionclix are like that
