The reason they do the phalanx positioning is because they found out our ancient history and realise how effective it was. Also in the books, Linda had a hard time sniping the Jackals when they overlapped shields so Bungie is just trying to make the game more challenging (since most ALL Halo 2 players are Halo: CE players). I can't wait to see some of the crazy tactics the Cov. use against us.

I can just see myself jumping down there and crushing their skulls with my Battle Rifle. Sweet sweet victory... And them using different weapons is kind of a sigh of relief for me, since there are too many Plasma Pistols in the game anyway, they just add more.

I wonder what it will be like when they use all the other weapons for a change.Instead of blasting your sheild down with a plasma pistol cause thats just annoying.

Dude, please re-phrase that comment because it looks to me like you're 2 years old. Anyway, Jackals on Legendary are very formidable opponents and i think that they will even cooler in the new one.

You know, I liked RVB for a while, but FTC is so much better and funnier I might add. They hack so much and it's hilarious to watch.

I always like Jackals the best cause they look cool and while theyre still easy to kill, they can sometimes put up a fight. Them getting beefed up is -blam!-in'!

I like melee attacking jackals.Plus the ones with the mohawks that look like their in rock in roll bands are cool.

Imagine if the hunters used this stragedy. Major gernades comin our way!!! By the way I thing RvB is much better than FRC or whatever the hell it is. I got sick of watching those shows after the 5th episode. The character voices are so annoying.

Historical side note: Despite the fact that the Romans used the phalanx strategy, it was inveted and most widely used by the Macedonians under Alexander.

And hopefully in Halo 2 Jackals will be smart enough to dodge grenades instead of just holding steady, even though that is a good way to kill them.

That was not a scripted scene. That has been said by Bungie.

My bad, it's fixed.

Jackals on Legendary shot a Plasma Pistol like a Plasma Rifle except in an EXACT straight line. They -blam!- MUTILATED you. Grunts as well. I really don't want the Jackals to have needlers in Halo 2, we would all get destroyed. I am glad that they are making the plasma pistol less powerful in Halo 2, cause one charged shot in Halo: CE brought down 400% shield. NOT COOL!

And yes, I can't wait for the first time I fight a brute either Ericimo. Ohh, the excitment!

I like shooting a jackal with a pistol (not in the head) the way they react is classic! Jackals are by far the most intriging Covenant invented.
