So after an entire day trying to finish Gravemind on legendary i have come to 1 conclusion. Jackals with sniper rifles are a pain in the ass. feel free to elaborate your hate of them in this post and discuss wether or not they should be in Halo 3.

lmao.. they are... but it makes it fun... when you lean to dodge them... well the first shot anyway. It fries me that they can turn around and just magicaly shoot you in the eye socket after you've shot them in the leg or something. And why the hell do they have like a 98% hit percentage? Ever been hit a lived?

He wants people to discuss whether or not they should be in Halo 3. This has been posted in the correct forum.

Jackal snipers were not in Halo 1.

I think they should be in Halo 3,but not kill in one shot...unless its a headshot of course.

Yeah I hate Jackal snipers to. They are pretty hard to kill, but I gain more confidence when I'm in close range so I they can take a shotgun shell point blank, or get pistol whipped in the skull.

Jackal snipers have a huge blind spot. Just try to get behind them and hope that they don't turn around. Sometimes it works, most times...night night.
My friend was shot in the head by a Jackal sniper on Legendary ( Outskirts ) and lived. He was able to dodge the second shot and kill the sniper, but the OTHER sniper (which he forgot about) also shot him in the head. I died because I got shot in the hip while hiding behind a wall, apparently on the wrong side. :)
Never again will I play on Legendary unless it's Co-Op.

what if a jackal could use a sword, that would be some serious -blam!- it's like you see a jackal holding a plasma pistol, and you say i can take him, so you shoot him with your smg, then he drops his gun and his shield goes out, and then he starts charging you with a sword in hand, and your like WTF!

I thought that he just edited to say that because he forgot to put it in because I think that he just forgot to put the sentence in but he meant to.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Wow.

So, since you're not good enough to take them out, you want them removed?

I bet you're full of challenges!

Legendary is so much harder on Co-op cause u have to worry about your mate as well as yourself, and more often than not, hes not as good as you so brings it all down, ie if he dies you die, which is extreamly annoying, although saying that it means you have to be a hell of alot better at the game + its so much harder anyway, hey i'm not complaining i love it!!

Co-op makes it MAD easier. If one guy dies the other just has to survive until you respawn.

Anyway, Halo 1 Jackels on Legendary are so friggen' -blam!-. That shield makes it so hard, and they are near impossible to melee.

Come to think of it, I've never seen a Covenant switch weapons before. or run out of ammo. Something they should definitely put in Halo 3.

Well the friend that I was talking about in that story isn't all that good. He says he plays on Legendary all the time, but when we play you sure can't tell. He never uses fire and manuver tactics, he never takes cover. He's too gung ho.
I have another friend I play with and we're the same. We don't even have to talk to eachother. For example: If there is a threat, say we're pinned down by some Elites. One of us throws grenades and lays down some fire while the other one runs for cover. Once the other guy is behind cover and has an angle on our enemy, he opens fire and throws grenades while I run nearby for some cover. It's amazing, we don't even look at eachother's screens to see where the other person is. We're an awesome team.

Jackal Snipers aren't fun. On Legendary, it becomes all about memorising where they are. I play Halo to have fun, not to improve my short term memory ...

I've been witness to the survival of a single beamer shot. My friend shifted just enough to catch the beam on his gun. A complete fluke. And he died a couple seconds later from the same guy.

I meant more like an enemy Covenant, but I never noticed that one either. But yeah. I think sometimes they should like use Human weapons and vehicles too. Although we've already got the Flood doing that.

Well, I think jackal snipers should stay except either make them less accurate or allow the Arbiter or the MC to lean so their a smaller target. The sniper one hit to kill should stay because it's only on legendary and legendary is suppose to be insanly hard.
