I don't own an Xbox, but if I did it would be for Halo and no other reason. Luckily, my roommate does have a box with Halo, and I love it. We've both played the hell out of that game, single player, coop missions, and multiplayer (system link games over the campus network. Sooo sweet!).
As for hunters, if you're out of their range and you have a sniper rifle, no problems there. If you can't snipe, I suggest charging them, then sidestep when they rush in to melee you and either shoot or club them in the back. As for sword carriers, stay back from them. I haven't found a way to dodge them, but I haven't really tried very hard either. Once you get into the harder difficulties, you'll learn to hate jackals and love plasma pistols for dealing with them. And you'll learn to hate elites even more ;).
The regular pistol is IMHO the best weapon in the game, especially for mid and long range fighting. You can take elites out with fewer shots, but you have to have good aim and keep the crosshair on their heads. In fact, every gun works better if you land head shots. Of course that only applies if your enemy has a distinguishable head :P.
I dare you to try the single player missions on Legendary :P.
