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 when it misses the melee.
Jackals neither melee nor run towards the player.
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.
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.
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
it's shorter than Buck.
Unless that Elite is a child, I doubt any would be shorter than a marine.
It also looks bigger than the jackals with shields (yeh I know they're more bent over but its way back in the background). To me it looks to big to be a jackal and too small to be an elite. As much as I'd like it to be an elite though I think the evidence stacks up against it. I'm still hopeful about elites being in firefight though, many plausible theories have been made.
