Remeber going through Halo 2 on Legendary?

Remember those lighting fast Jackals, which sent me into a eternal loop as they killed me right after the checkpoint, those dammned hunters on Regret?

Well, I want you to vote for your idea of the hardest AI you encountered on legendary.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

It is definitely the Jackal Sniper.

Depends on the combat range.

In close combat, it would have to be Ultra Elites. But in other ranges, they can be defeated easily. Plasma bolts work best. Works best if there's no cover (like cars and forerunner structures) and/or if they don't seek cover. I found that dual wielding Elites present the most threat. I also found that Grunts and Jackals can be a threat if left alone.

There's also Stealth Elites, but again, it's a matter of distance. They won't shoot you if you're some distance away from them. The only threat they present is if they approach you.

In long range combat, it's obviously Jackal snipers. But they're vulnerable. I ought to give sniper alley a go sometime to see for myself what they're capable of.

But if there's one enemy on Legendary that is that hardest, it would have to be the marines. After all, I consider them as my enemies simply because their ineptness. The Halo 2 marines didn't receive a intelligence boost, but a capability boost. And these are not the same thing.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Jackal Sniper


This. Also, Elites were easy to kill. Most of them could be quadshotted to death in no time.
