Subject: Are you scared of Jackals?

XxXD3LuuX3 X luuC1d17YXxX

I checked up on them recently and apparently they're six+ foot tall 200 pound velociraptors with laser rifles. And we aren't talking about the skirmishers mind you.

Oh, and by the way, they eat people.

"Were it so easy..." -Thel Vadame.

They certainly piss me off.
And it's crazy imagining the actual size of most of the Covenant compared to average human height when your already 7+ feet tall in the game.

Very much so, the only reason I feel safe from them is because I have armor and am taller than them IRL i would -blam!- my pants

If you saw a grunt in real life you'd probably * yourself

Edit: Hhahahaha some one beat me to it :)

yeah, any member of the covenant minus maybe a lone lekgolo worm, or an engineer would have absolutely no problems killing a human in a fist fight, even though grunts are short and less intelligent they are still extremely strong and their arms are covered in sharp barbs.

In person, ya, I'd cry. In game I only really worry if I'm playing Halo 2 and they have Beam Rifles. That's just wrong.

In the books jackals have extremely fragile bone structure. I can't see drones putting up much of a fight either.

Thats birds bud, and jackals aren't birds. also pretty much any thing has fragile bones when fighting a spartan

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I thought only drones ate humans?

Well thing is that drones come from double the gravity of Earth so yah they are pretty strong (but why would a creature on a planet with such high gravity even fly in the first place)

Play Halo 2 on Legendary on Delta Halo, you will die over and over again because of...





















JACKAL SNIPERS!!!!!1

Unto the Fray we go

The Jackals piss me off, but they don't scare me

but I swear, the Skirmishers give me nightmare sometimes

  • 11.22.2010 8:29 PM PDT

Well, if you put it that way...yikes...

Cave Johnson here, we're done!

PS: If you are reading this comment while imagining my voice, don't panic. That's just a side effect of the testing.

Not to mention they are essentially mercenaries who kill by contract.

Also, they are space pirates, and they are armed with needle knives that when stabbed into flesh, it acts like a normal needler projectile and explodes.

  • 11.22.2010 8:39 PM PDT

Gigitty Gigitty Goo!

If I was an average 6 foot marine, hell yeah I'd be scared.

Name's WIlliam,

For the love of God it's pronounced mister-shag, not misters-hag.

The Brutes eat humans like it's going out of style...

Speaking of Brutes, when I see Brutes in Reach I think to myself "thank God that's not a Jackal..." lol

Ferral Jackal/Skirmisher = Jurassic Park....

  • 11.22.2010 9:38 PM PDT

You know, when you're having a bad day, you just gotta let yourself go!

grunts are 5ft 6inches! god damn

and hunters are like what, 12 to 18 ft! FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

  • 11.22.2010 9:41 PM PDT

I'd probably be piss scared by most of the covenant in real life, except maybe grunts. Seeing as you're 10ft tall throughout the games, they just don't seem scary.

Anyone else think that the best game to capture the fierceness and fear (At the expense of alienation) is Halo Wars's cinematics?

I have found Jackals to be the most harmless enemies.
They never have a deadly weapon, protection, nor tactic killing you.

"Question. Which Spartan is best?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"False. Master Chief."
"Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."
"Spartans shoot Sangheili. Spartans. Sangheili.....Battle Star Galactica."

Have you forgotten that damn beam rifle?!!?!?!?!!!1111!!!

  • 11.23.2010 5:41 AM PDT

What a waste....

Grunts are only tall with their tanks on. I think normally they're only 4 ft. ???

  • 11.23.2010 7:16 AM PDT
