I'm going to have to say the skirmisher. Too fast for its own good and can leap to a roof top that's 20 feet high. Annoying little creatures.

I would have to agree that Skirmishers are the most annoying Covenant species in firefight and/or campaign.

Skirmishers for two reasons.

1. They stole Drones's Thunder.

2. They stole everything that made regular Jackals intelligent and fast, and left them with two abilities, walking forward, and occasionally dodging, seriously, regular jackals in Reach are mindless bullet sponges/trolls.

I am your sword... I am your Shield...

The skirmishers get holograms, and focus rifles which are the most annoying weapon ever conceived.

I have no idea why I laughed when you said jackals were trolls. But I feel stupid now.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Tough call, but I'd say Skirmishers. Drones were more airborne, but they were weaker and not as quick; they would dodge, but not incredible distances. However, in ODST Firefight, the Drones were worse because the entire experience of that game mode was more difficult.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Drones, thank god you come across them rarely, also Bungie made a good decision to cut them out of Firefight because they were -blam!- annoying in ODST

jackals, skirmishers then drones

I'm surprised elites and brutes are less infamous than I though.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Grunts are easy kills.
Jackals are just grunts with shields.
Hunters have a weak back.
Drones are easy kills.
Brutes are easy kills.
Skirmishers are, by far, the most annoying.

Jackals and Skirmishers are the same species. Just saying.

skirmishers by far, they do nothing but evade non stop

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

Skirmishers are -blam!-s on alien drugs

Well... it was hard to choose between Elites and Skirmishers. Mostly because you threw Firefight into the mix. Because of my past experiences with Elites on Firefight, it really was a very hard decision to make, what, with their constant dodging my sniper shots before I even fire. Makes them annoying to hit unless you have an armor-lock using teammate. Then they just stand still for some reason until I open fire. Anyway, I went with the Skirmishers. The things are just too fast! I can hardly hit them, even with melee! Seriously, it's like I'm about to kill the thing, and it suddenly sidesteps as I'm about to hit it/fire at it. That just absolutely takes the cake, right there, man. Very easily 20X worse than the Drones were, if you know how to deal with them.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Skirmishers by far.
