First of all, make sure you don't get backed up into a corner. Run to the side and try to get behind the Hunter. If you go up close to it (be careful!) and run around it fast, you should be able to get to its back.
If you manage to do that, one pistol shot at the orange (uncovered) part of the Hunter will kill it (on any difficulty). Try to keep your distance and time it for when they are not shooting, as their fuel rod cannons shake your screen.
If that seems a bit hard, try either sticking them with a grenade and making sure they don't just block it, or throwing a grenade to the side and shooting them while they look at it. This a good tactic to buy you some time, not to kill them.
If you think you're godly (which you might be), let them charge, then sidestep and melee them in the back, immediately get out of their way and sidestep again. If you can do this, well... you're good. If you fail, it is your fault. You can practice this in multiplayer by letting people charge you and then sidestep while turning around and meleeing them. If they hit you, you did it wrong. Try again. It's useful in multiplayer as well.
If you want to practice fighting in close quarters with them without relying on melee, try running up to them and immediately backing off. When you come close enough, they will try to melee (Again, don't get hit!). At this moment, they will lift an arm, exposing the belly, which is uncovered like the back. Fire the pistol as many times as possible into the uncovered region to ensure that enough bullets actually strike it.
Or, run at them, and at the last second jump up. they will hit you with their shield, but you won't die. Instead you'll fly into the air, while up there throw a plasma grenade ( the sticky ones) onto the orange part of its body.
As hunters come in pairs, switch to a zoom weapon (Pistol/Sniper Rifle) And get rid of one like that. Then, DO NOT MOVE. The hunter almost never hits you, unless you move. This is because the kickback of his weapon severely damages his accuracy. Then finish him off by throwing a grenade behind him, and let him walk away from it. Then shoot him in the back
Instead of that, you can also kill the first, then charge for the second one. When he charges back at you, walk back and wait for his stomach to be unprotected. Then, empty your assault rifle. Like crazy.
Alternate method of killing hunters: circle around them while meleeing them. This causes them to spin around following you, but not actually meleeing you as you need to be standing still for them to melee you. Note: Not tested on 2 Hunters. MAY be effective on them, though. -300spartans
In order to sneak up to a Hunter, crouch and ever so gently push the joystick toward the hunter and do it in bursts, with this you can easily a attach a Plasma Grenade on their back. After that, just run and come back for seconds.
