Also, I hate skirmishers for the very same reason you like them.
They took the speed and intelligence from past jackals in previous Halo's and put it into skirmishers.
Now the only the only thing they do is walk forwards and dodge needles.
Skirmishers look way more badass though, and I don't think they stole the jackal's intelligence either, I'd never seen a jackal in any other game do some of the things skirmishers did in reach.
It's probably the same for me, but by intelligence I mean, well, everything. Jackals used to flank, they almost always had their shields up when you where nearby, they dodged in close quarters, they tried to dodge grenades, they actually moved, as in ran, they dodged vehicles like douchbags too.
In Reach, they do NONE of that. They only seem capable of two things, walking in a straight line right past me or towards me, and occasionally hitting the floor when a single needle is seen. And now skirmishers took all that and sped it up a little. Honestly, I never really saw the point in skirmishers, just speedy palate swaps intended to replace drones.
But hey, it's not a hate thread on palate swaps, so here's a free bump.
