I was pondering the apparent invulnerability of the striders, trying to find a way to counter them.
After watching the 2004 E3 vids, I've got a theory.
We know that the manipulator can fire a concussion (push) blast, even with very heavy objects (the buggy).
Imagine a strider's leg being close to a wrecked car. You use the manipulator to push the car through the underneath of the strider. Thus taking out it's legs and causing it to topple over.
But maybe they have quick reflexes and good balance
