Who would you think would win in a battle of 3 jackals vs 6 grunts, the choice is yours!

Remember the odds and evens

The Jackals have energy shields and have got brilliant sniper shots but close up they are pretty much screwed, but the grunts have numbers and a higher rate of fire, but their armor is very weak!

Jackals have shields and the grunts are too stupid to aid for the holes.
And thats why the grunts are at the bottom of the covenant chain

Jackals, because they have more tactics and a shield for defence and they are smarter in halo2.

Don't forget guys that Grunts have plasma grenades which do a number on Jackals. Even if it bumps off of a Jackal's sheild they don't bother moving away from the grenade for some reason.

Due to that one simple fact I'd put my money on the Grunts. If the grunts were smart enough to surround the Jackals then even better. The Jackals can't cover themselves from every angle with those shields.

Grunts are stupid and cowardly. My bet is as soon as one or two of them were killed, the rest would run away, making them easy pickings for the Jackals.

Just like to say that's a BIG "if" and I dont think they have the smarts to think of a strategy like that. (Unless they are alot smarter in Halo 2)

it would be the grunts because they throw plasma grenades and the jackals just ignore them most of the time.


and if the grunts flanked the jackals (most likly not) but if they did the needler grunts can flank the jackals while the others shoot them

Depends on how they're situated and how they attack... Grunts that rely on grenades can possible win... Since jackels have tendencies to not run from them...

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Hmmmm, I'd have to say Jackals.

They shoot extraordinarily fast with their plasma pistols, and also overcharge them (Grunts can do this, most likely, in Halo 2, but in Halo 1 they don't). If all 3 Jackals opened fire at once, the 6 Grunts would die before the Jackals' pistols would have to cool down.

If the Grunts decided to use a grenade, I still don't think they'd win... Plasma Grenades don't kill Jackals very quickly (unless all 6 Grunts decided to throw their grenades relatively at the same time)... It only gets rid of their shields, and does moderate to heavy damage. This may help the Grunts, but the Jackals will still be able to fire quite a bit of plasma back at the Grunts in return.

They have the numbers and you guys are forgetting that plasma can blow up the energy shields. So of course a few grunts would surely die, but i think they would prevail with their sheer numbers and grenades.
