Nothing really, there quite smart in Halo 2, but act like cowards when you go up close.

Jackel snipers make me scream myslef to sleep...

there needs to be less of them, or at least make thier aim a little worse in Legendary.

Other then that, they were very good.

Have you ever seen a chicken? A jackal's head looks more like a shaved wolf than a chicken.

Yes I have seen a chiken, many chikens... one was about to poke me or attack me then I kicked it, then I got in trouble.
And they do look like chickens

They need to take more time to aim at you and I dont want them to be big cowards when you get close.

They should be a little harder to kill, and have better wepons if they are not using a sniper.

You mean like a rooster?

I think when you get close, instead of turning tail and running away, they should sort of of push you away with their shield, this would do no damage, just stun you for a second, and you'd move back like, a foot or so. Also, Jackal formations would be sweet, and make them form a formation like the romans, I forget what it's called, but yeah. And maybe if you throw a grenade, they will move their shield in that direction to protect themselves, yet exposing themselves to your gunfire, which would be awesome AI, and fair overall, and include a new tactic. Remember in the Halo 2 demo trailer, when you see them all lined up? That would be cool if they defended themselves better like that.

In the words of Forrest Gump, "And that's all I have to say about that."

No...they arn't like chickens.

I liked the way the Jackal was built in Halo 2, it actually looked fast, a bit more scary(even though it was not). And the bump mapping looked so good looked like I could touch it and feel arterys popping out and bone(not that I would want to touch a Jackal mind you). Halo 1 there were diffrences, likea helmet or not. But they didn't look that great.

I'd love harming my enemies to death with butt strokes. XD

umm...you do realize that a jackal would never be able to push the MC right? the dude weighs half a ton.

I'd like to see an upgrade to their AI. Like overlapping their sheilds and marching on your position......

Jackals-

-Helmets should be on some Jackals.

-The way they roll and do somersaults on the ground-Add that with better AI=I'm picturing a Jackal rolling out from behind a corner, fires a overcharge at you while another ally picks you off with a Carbine.

-Jackals with Plasma Rifles.
-Jackals with Carbines...are nearly unstoppable.

-Step up to use their shield to cover their allies. Or around a group of Jackals-"riot control formation" as seen in the E3 2003, the Jackals use their shields to cover each other as they advance..just before getting turned into roadkill.

-Jackals snipers carrying a clear translucent shield-they can fit their Beam Rifle through the side of the shield if they can do it with a Carbine. They activate their shield once in position, usually. They can also scale up trees for a good sniper position(remember Bungie said in Halo 2, enemies know how to climb trees and scale walls?). Sniper Jackals have a plasma rifle in reserve, so they don't run away from you and they can still keep you pinned down if you get in his dead zone where he can't see with his sniper rifle.

-Jackals throwing grenades-Doesn't really matter.

-Jackals firing from behind cover-their shield's not enough. Use them grenades.
