Ok before you get all uppity saying the skirmishers were bad enemy’s hear me out.
The skirmishers were there to be a challenging and annoying enemy. They fit this job a lot better then drones mainly because they arnt large in number at most times but can still get around how they wont to do their job. It keeps them balanced unlike drones who will stay in a area and will spam shots out you from that spot. Also because there in the air drones are much harder to hit with grenades or machine fire.
But skirmishers don’t have those over powering flaws making them more fitting in game.
SO why forget these game fit beast
when they could have so much use as a enemy or maybe a ally
I dont care really if in halo 4 but mentioning them any where but reach would be a little nice. Maybe a comic or book or halo 5
And no they arnt extinct. bungie made it clear they are still out there
I think it’s too late, maby halo 5?
I’m sorry, but Hell no! The skirmishers were the most annoying enemy in all of Halo I hope they’re gone for good…
Feathery ballerina’s from hell
Pretty sure they became extinct.
> Pretty sure they became extinct.
The only extinction I have ever been happy about.
Wasn’t their canonical explanation for not being in Halo 1-3 they were all killed?
The Skirmishers were fun, and a refreshing experience in Reach.
But they were deployed so much they went extinct after the battle.

Yeap.
I guess everyone of their species was aboard that Supercarrier.

No they actually wernt on halo because they left the covenant
Also bungie said they wernt all wiped out but were on that border
And as game play goes
they fit that one enemy halo never had
a enemy we need to hate
one who fights dirty
one who will fight hard and strong no matter what
Easy to kill but more then one will always be a challenge
But you want to kill them so bad you will always go back to see them all fall.
Halo has never had that
we had drones ya but they were broken mainly because they flew making it so most radius weapons wont even hurt them and they had far more space to move. Skirmishers wernt broken in the slightest as they stayed for the most part on the ground and could be stunned so they couldn’t fight back as hard making them fair
you must admit its nice to hate

WHy does every one think that
Bungie made it clear they wernt all wiped out but on the boarder
they can come back
fewer tho so it fits cannon and people wont be as annoyed
you shouldn’t be over dosed on annoyance but you still need it somewhere in a game
Game developers shouldn’t make annoying enemies to fight in the first place. It just seems like a very lazy attempt at trying to make something “challenging”.The addition of Brutes in Halo 2 was fine, as were the drones (which were a kind of annoying). But Skirmishers take it way too far in my opinion. I hope we never see them again in any Halo games.

Here.
Maybe not completely, but very close to a wipe-out.
Skirmishers are about as annoying as buggers.
Due to the action they received on Reach there caste was almost completely destroyed, that’s the explanation for not seeing them anywhere else besides maybe Halo CE

So true… I hate it when Skirmishers run faster than you can aim and pull your crosshair all over the place when there’s many of them.
No thanks, I hate Skirmishers.
Just no more inserting Jackal snipers into the mix (I’m thinking about Reach’s Firefight). Jackal snipers may be lethal in H2 and even H3 but in Reach, they’re just annoying.
If anything, put Skirmishers with Hunters. For some reason, it reminds me of The Covenant’s third tower battle every time.
> Skirmishers are about as annoying as buggers.
Do you really think that? Skirmishers are tricky but fun to kill in my view. Buggers just make me want to put the controller down.
Hope the skirmies come back.
