I really miss the old jackles. They had awsome helmets and the new ones look a little to much like birds...

They had helmets?
Anyways, they both suck. I wonder if there will be jackals in Halo 3......
You can check google.

For starters, yes, the helmets, the gold eyes, the skin colors, everything about the old look was better. The way they move and jump around is way too light feeling in comparison to the jackels in Halo 1, and the gameplay involved is completely reversed. In Halo 1 you were better off with a pistol and a dead man with an AR, in Halo 2 you can't get a shot in with a battle rifle and tear them apart with an smg. Plus the new plasma pistol didn't do them any good either. Complete buthcering of a decent foe.

Yes, I thought the Halo 1 Jackals were better than the Halo 2 Jackals.

I loved the helmets. What I realized though, in Halo 2, you can really tell them from rank(the gold and normal armor) I love knowing what the covies ranks are...i dont no why tho

I like Halo 2 jackals.The halo 1 jackals are annoying.

The originals.

And it's Jackal, by the way.

I liked the blue shields better, they were easier to kill, different designs. Some had skulls, some didn't, some had gold, beady eyes. Halo 2's didn't have any of that.

Only problem with the old ones is the overcharge shots.

halo jackals were better. they fought better and the reason why is that there were less of them and so they were supposed to be more difficult but there were alot more of them in halo 2 so that made bungie have to compensate for their sheer numbers, making them more like grunts with shields and no grenades

I like the Halo 2 Jackals more than the ones in Halo 1 due to the fact that they have more detail, character, and are excellent shots with the beam rifle (hey, Gotta give the bastards credit). They are more organized than before, work well with their superiors and appear to be more alert. That makes them all the more deadlier.

Is it about looks? If so i dont really mind, Jackals are Jackals (accept sniper Jackals they look stupid).

Buut if it isnt about looks then i would say Halo 1 are the best. They are a lot better than the Halo 2 ones, not showing their unshielded side as much, charging up the plama pistol loads, shooting a lot more, traveling in groups of Jackals and usually with other covenant as well.

I think that is one reason i find Halo 2 easier because the Jackals were so much easier (as well as hunters).

I like Halo.

the H:CE jackals, man. They weren't near as annoying as the H2 Jackals... the H2 jackals are too smart to expose their head as often as they did in H:CE, which make them a huge pain to kill with non-explosives.

and in H:CE, the grenades were so strong, you could blast away five of them 30 feet in the air with one frag grenade, now you'll be lucky to kill one and take the shield off of another with a grenade in H2... but don't get me started on grenades and explosions in H2... I'll rant for hours.

the old jackals were more of a challenge cuz they would charge their plasma pistols most of the time and they looked awesome.

Crud, I accidently voted for the first halo jackels, anyway;

I prefer the halo 2 jackels over the first gen. of jackels. I miss the blue shields and armor, but the armor was useless, seeing as despite the fact they wore helmets, you can still shoot them in the head, and they would die instantly.

In a fight? The H2 jackals would kick ass, they don't jump to the side and lower their shield for no reason.


I think for H3 they should mix the best of both jackals, and make the BR the weapon of choice against them.

agreed, the halo 1 jackals were stronger and the halo 2 jackals were faster and more agile. if u combine them, u will get the perfect jackal.

Halo combat evolved had the better jackels and you could shot them with the AR, needler, and the pistol easy, and in halo 2 there are a pain to kill.
