I really don't want the Jackals to have needlers in Halo 2,

Unfortuantly they do.http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?story=covenanthierar chy look at the picture of the jackal he's holding a neeedler.This is for anyone who didnt know that jackals use needlers in halo 2 even though most ppl probably already knew that they did.

The only weapons I know that they can carry are needlers plasma pistols and plasma rifles.As far as carbines go im not sure.

The other is for their sheild that also maybe why they cant use gernades unless bungie decided that they can use them now.Though I doubt it but maybe.Even though when the elite's are walking they hold the carabine with one hand near their side though when they fire it they probably need both hands.So it is posssible that the jackals wont use the carabine.

Not unless they want to turn it off and be moveing targets.They would end up being dead faster than when they had their sheilds.Although with the carabine they would probably be better snipers.

Yea but then they probably would end up being as easy to take out like the grunts are.Unless they have some new badass skills.

The only reason elites dont is because their armor is just like the Master Cheif's armor it recharges the Jackal's dont.But after a few minutes when their sheild dissapers it comes back on but you have more than enough time to take the jackal out before his sheild reappears.

True they could be one badass snipers which they are suppose to be.But they always seeem to let you know where they are.Which defeats the purpose of being a sniper.Although the first time I saw a jackal I always though they should be pilots because the way their uniform looks.It just looked like a pilots uniform.But any ways their suppose to be snipers but they have yet to prove their great snipeing skills.Who know they may show us some of their skills on Halo 2.

maybe in a forest level they could use camoflauge and snipe your ass that would be cool and funny as hell.I know I would cuss them out though.So yes it is a great idea for them to have a carabine.Then maybe they could live up to their snipeing skills.But will have to wait and see to find out if they use it or not.
