Has anyone noticed anything slightly odd about the screen shot in which Master Chief is taking on two hideously gorgeous jackals?? I'll give you one hint: look in the hand of the jackal closest to the camera. He's armed with a Plasma Rifle as opposed to the usual Plasma Pistol. Does this mean that not every single jackal in Halo 2 will be stealthfully awaiting your approach around the corner with a plasma blast charged and ready to slap you in the face?? Could it also mean that the jackals will be able to adapt to weapons such as the needler and the weapon that the Brute commonly uses (forgot the name of that gun) as well?? Let's just hope so because we all know how incredibly annoying the monotonous, super-human, rapid fire of a plasma pistol immediately followed by a plasma blast that whizzes over your left shoulder can be while playing campaign mode on legendary. There's always that one jackal, no matter how good you may be, who manages to stay alive just long enough to strip from you the one or two bars of health that you can't stand to lose to a life form so low as a jackal so much that you revert to saved all the way back to the beginning of the checkpoint after slaying all of his fellow warriors in a flawless battle only to be spoiled by a stubborn jackal. Sorry, I had to vent. Jackals raped our village's horses and rode off on our women. Anyways - respond to the jackal armed with a plasma rifle. I even had this very screen shot saved as my background for weeks and did not notice this until today and I never heard/read of jackals being armed with anything other than the ordinary in Halo 2, although it probably should have just been assumed. Respond, reproduce, and be prosperous...

weve known about that since the pic was released. personally, jackals piss me off, and that was with the plasma pistol. i dont know how effective they will be with the plasma riffle but they will probably only piss me off more.

Yes, I too have a deep-seated hatred for jackals...

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

But one nice melee right in the shield will fix his wagon...
