Do you want levels with, if not surrounding, Jackal Snipers? I thought they were fun, even though they were frustrating.
They're the Covenant's main long range specialists, of course they'll be in ODST. But, in your opinion, how important should they be?
It would be cool if 1-2 of them are dropped in a round in Firefight, their Beam Rifle shots attempting to weed you into cover to complement the devastating blasts from a Wraith. Or in the Campaign, levels with both the Rookie and Romeo would center on taking out Covenant snipers. For Romeo it would be a given, since he is a sniper after all, and the Jackals are perfect as Covenant nighttime patrol.
They would try to snipe you as you hide in the shadows, you wait for the shooting the stop, and you have to use that to figure out where they are hiding. New Mombassa is begging for another Sniper Alley (H2 Outskirts and H3 Sierra 117) and perhaps this time it would be effective, not a chore.
It all comes down to whether you like the class of Jackals to begin with or not.
Thoughts?
