Subject: I hate jackals.

I don't see how any one can find these creatures fun to fight. The standard jackal is immune to my BR shots, which should stagger him and lower his shield but he decides that he doesn't want to die. Snipers are worse off because they travel together in teams, so even on heroic they are annoying.

This rant will now stop here.

they give you a challenge Invasion, though they are annoying when you cant get passed'sniper alley' for the 100th time, it wouldnt be HALO 2 without them.

True, but challenges can be annoying. And jackals prove that my statement is true.

Same here. I hate them so much that I barbecue them with plasma grenades when I'm not serious (I use frags when I'm really trying to kill). They're repulsive in all forms, but none so much as those bald bastards in Reach. The Jackals in Reach have way too many cheap advantages and they're hideous compared to the lovable ones in CE, H2, and H3.

The Jackals in H2 and H3 are tolerable (yes even the snipers) but CE features killer Jackals. I always aim to kill them first because they're so annoying unlike the Grunts.

Looks like a T-rex

I was playing the mission "Halo" in CE today, I was repeatedly killed by the jackals. I just can't seize my head shots on them.

But their hair. There's not enough hair!!!

Yeah, getting headshots on them is pretty hard. Shooting them in the arm is often pointless. It's better to get them to roll and then headshot or just do the noob combo.

Edit:

Yeah I can see the resemblance. But I still hate them.

Lol, I didn't even like the Jackal that was on my side while playing Sacred Icon. I just looked at him, like, you no good so and so...although I used other words more appropriate for him.

I can understand why the Grunt said, if hungry, eat Jackal. If anything, Jackals should be subservient to Grunts. If it weren't for that darn rebellion, we would have seen hordes of Ultra Grunts in places of those Jackals.

Words appropriate for Jackals?

On this website it would be a string of blams to describe them.

Eat Elites?! Those bastards! I'll turn Tartarus into a Jackal and watch my Elite army beat the -blam!- out of him!! :D

Or, I gather a collection of Jackals on AotCR and then kill them all with the God pistol.

Jackals should be annihilated from the face of the universe. That's how much I hate them.

"No Mission Too Difficult, No Sacrifice Too Great—Duty First!" - The fighting first's motto.

Losing internet 9/7/2012 until i don't know when. See you starside folks.


Fada beo Halo 2!

Jackal snipers on Legendary = MC dying over and over and over.
I like Jackals ok, but not snipers on Legendary, lol hardest enemy in the game i'd say.

After cooling down on yesterdays rage, I've realized that jackals still only produce head aches and are not tolerable. However this thread needs positive, inspirational value.

Hope this delivers

I'm a bit disappointed (I admit those are lovable though). I thought it would be Jackals dying like fireworks.

This is what I mean by complete annihilation.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I admit that those jackals can be very frustrating at times.Posted by: InvasionImminent

I really hate those beaky bastages, but I LOVE KILLING THEM! It has made me look forward to seeing them given how much enjoyment I get in taking them out right as I see them, I dont care how, grenades, headshots, I would nuke them if I could!

I have learned to embrace them.......in the warm embrace of my BR delivering their death!

Just wait until CEA comes out. You'll get those nukes.

Well said! :D

I wont be purchasing CEA for a few reasons:

1-I only have an original xbox, no 360
2-I do not have an HD tv
3-I am a neanderthal when it comes to buying new things, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind the times!

I guess I will have to just imagine the nuking possibilities, rather than experiencing them first hand, to bad for me!

The only thing worse than Jackals, is Jackals with sniper rifles.

There is one way. Halo PC modding. I can coach you in it's ways. Show you how I did this.

And of course, you can do more with this. Such as, you can easily cloak all the enemies to imitate Assassins skull.
