Have any of you guys heard about a secret enemy. A guy on another forum said that there is a new Halo 2 pic picturing a secret enemy. He e-mailed Bungie and asked them if it was a Jackal, and they (Bungie) said it was much stronger than a Jackal and may even be able to kill a Gold Elite, but they did not post the name of it.

I'm thinking it's some kind of Forerunner alien or guardian, but I'm not sure if the Forerunner will appear in Halo 2.

I'm not sure if this was a hoax or if this guy is somehow tied in with Bungie, but this guy seemed pretty convincing.

I heard about this too. When I look at it, the new enemy looks EXACTLY like a Jackal. Only difference is that he has a Plasma Rifle and not a plasma pistol.

For those who wanna see, go to IGN.com's Halo 2 page and open up the "Halo 2 Rumor FAQ".

I can't find it. Is it the one of the two Jackals that are battling Master Cheif, and one is holding a Plasma Pistol and the other is holding a Plasma Rifle?

Zero, the only good covenant is a PLAYABLE covenant.

If anyone ever tells you that they or someone they knew e-mailed a question to Bungie about something that isn't already publicly known, and they say Bungie responded with an answer, they're lying. Bungie isn't telling anyone anything. And when they do tell someone, they make it as public as possible.

I think its the one with the two jackals MC is fighting.

Honestly at first I didn't see any "new enemy"...looked like a normal Jackal to me. I just went to the FAQ for info on the game...where I can see I've wasted my time.

The only new enemy I've heard of was in the latest issue of GI. One of the writers from GI stated: "Word is there may be even more enemies, including a huge beast capable of flipping over a Warthog! Whether this makes it into the final version or not remains to be seen, but it would certainly be pretty sweet".

THAT'S THE SCREENSHOT!!!!! They're just two -blam!- Jackals getting their asses kicked by MC. I knew that guy was full of crap. He even said something about there being Advanced Grunts, Ultimate Grunts, Platinum Elites, Ultimate Elites etc. I just PM'd him and I'm getting the info from him.

Okay, I got the info. He said that he owns the game and that the two Jackals in the screenshot are Secret enemies. He said that they are strong enough to take down a Brute. -_-

This guy is pissing me off. They're Jackals. The screenshot at bungie.net is labeled Cheif vs. Jackals. The hands are the same, they have the mo-hawks, the eyes, the sheilds. I don't know what the hell is wrong with this guy. I told him to come here and tell you guys that he has the game and that the Jackals are the secret enemies. We should ask him all about the game then and see what he does or does not know.

Oh yeah, he told me that Master Cheif is black. So I posted back telling him that he isn't, because MC doesn't pull a backwards Michael Jackson stunt in Halo.

I don't get GI, so I don't know, but that could be the Brute.

its not a new enemy, i pretty sure that bungie made a mistake the time they made the game, remember in the instruction manual they said that jackals can carry pistols and rifles. This "secret enemy" is just the jackals new look.

holy crap everyone, its just a jackal weilding a freakin plasma rifle, that doesn't mean hes a new enemy. just cuz you pick up a needler while playing halo doesn't make you a different character. bungie probably just gave the jackals the ability to weild plasma rifles for either the look or for a bit of a twist in the battle feild when playing halo 2. its pretty effin obvious those are jackals...if you can't see that then you know nothing of halo.

Just a normal jackal with a better gun. And if he was a "super thing" that could kill a gold elit, I dont think he and his buddy would be cowering with their hands over their heads as teh MC beat the hell out of them.

jackals are the weakest covenant (in muscle mass) there's no way that some stupid thing that is a Jackal could take out a Gold Elite, or a Brute.
