Ok.

If you stop at 2:15 you can clearly see the metal faceplate the Jackals wear. The figure is also too short to be an Elite.


well i guess we will see whos right 9/22/09

The circle is now complete.

It's hard to tell, but honestly it does look like an Elite to me.

At 2:13-2:14, it seems to be meleeing at Buck, the same way Elites used to in Halo 2.

Also, it looks to be running towards Buck right after the melee.

If you look closely, it also briefly crouches and fires.

Jackals neither melee nor run towards the player.

It's a jackal. You can see it's eyepiece on it's head.


That's some awesome music.

As an EPIC note: The Rookie and Johnson are the only ODST's with backpacks that are unlockable......SO WHO THE HELL IS THEY GUY WITH NO HELMET HOLDING THE TURRET!?

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

Hrm. We should ask ourselves; how does a jackal sniper run and how does an elite run?

Notice that this thing....strafes a lot like an elite.

I really don't know, but I've never seen a jackal do that crouch-strafe thing that elites do, but only jump quickly from side to side without crouching.

Definitely looks like a Jackal. Sorry mate hate to burst your bubble, but it's a Jackal. :(

yes, when you get near a jackel with a carbine, the jackel drops it and runs. this thing tried to hit buck. then ran after him when buck ran.

I think it's a jackal. I'm not entirely sure, but as much as I want it to be an Elite, that's from comic con. Someone would be screaming it throughout the internet if that were an elite. I'll still hold out hope.

  • 07.28.2009 3:38 PM PDT

It moves pretty damn fast.

Me? I just go online to have a good time and have alot of fun.

Please don't flame. Anyway, it lands differently then the other jackals is the first thing I noticed. (Im gonnna have to see how elites in halo 3 land, when they get out of their phantoms, and compare it to jackals) It is strafing very fast, from side to side, then finally it charges the player rather than just staying back.

They changed, the A.I a bit, you know. Brutes and grunts will now leap walls/barriera, instead of going around. It's entirely possible a Jackal would not be as intimidated by an ODST, that it would be a SPARTAN. I could see one running at me and throwing a melee.

  • 07.28.2009 3:42 PM PDT

that does look like an elite but it seems way to jumpy for an elite

Do any of you remember when it was stated by Joseph Staten (I think it was him) that the enemies have smarter AI, now they wont just run away or wait for you to come to them, its a Jackal with the new AI system.

but still, this thing is big, bulky, overly aggresive(not as muck as a brute) . and melees like a elite.

and it looked like it had a plasma rifle

I`ll take you with me!

aaaargh all of you are wrong, its clearly a Scarab >:(

On topic: its a jackal, you can see the faceplate ad kinda notice the spiky "hair" on its head.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

It's a Jackal. I've played the campaign so many damn times i know what a Jackal looks like. I've seen them from all possible angles really. Elites are a lot more bigger. If it was an Elite, you'd know right away. AND if the Elites would be in Firefight, especially in the version that was available ComicCon, we would have already seen countless of threads about confirming Elites in FF, pics and footage of them.

No, that is not an Elite, its a Jackal Marksman, IE a Jackal holding a Covenant Carbine.

I must admit, that looks a lot like an Elite. Too much armour for a Jackal.
