Which are stronger?
Does anyone else think the Jackals from Halo: Combat Evolved looked stronger than the ones in Halo 2? Which Jackals do you prefer? User:Joshua 029

I havent really played it in a while but the color differences are probably because of different races. Like on Earth, American, African, Chinese.--prophit of war 23:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Jackal info
I was just wondering where the info came from about the jackals being spacefaring, and being more mercenaries and privateers than real, believing members of the Covenant. I was hoping someone could maybe please shed some light on this for me? -- 131.50.151.8


 * I dunno about spacefaring, but being mercenaries came from the action figure box, I think.  guesty - persony - thingy  I too have an AI... his name is Supreme Honcho. 05:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sybex is the sorce.Qual &#39;Fulsamsee 00:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

halo ce?
there are no jackals in halo ce. halo ce is a stand-alone multiplayer add on for halo pc. -Rim Ж Fire TM 14:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Halo CE = Halo: Combat Evolved, although sometimes it can also mean Custom Edition.-- Joshua 029 15:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Spiker
I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet, but in an HBO forum Frankie's said that Jackals have been known to use the Spikers as illegal sidearms. just so people know why i've put it in the article. -- SpecOps306 03:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You should cite that as a source, just in case. -ED 22:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

plasma rifle
Does anyone notice the first picture of the jackal (3-13-07, pictures subject to change) depicts it holding a plasma rifle when in the whole history of halo they, and the grunts, never wield the plasma rifle. Fork 22:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I see that too, that's probably just concept art. Kind of like how the Drone action figure came with a Plasma Rifle even though they never have those. -ED 22:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * they do weild plasma riflescheck out delta halo.Qual &#39;Fulsamsee 00:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I dont think so, I've never seen a jackal and blue plasma. What difficulty is this. Fork 22:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Easy on Halo 2.Qual &#39;Fulsamsee 20:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

There is one jackal in the game with a plasma rifle like 'Fulsamsee said it is in the level delta halo, Peace.--The Chazz025 and Clan 20:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe the lance commander carries a plasma pistol or something. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 16:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Size is Wrong
I doubt there 6 feet in the game.Halo3 01:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)--Halo3

It says in the halo 1 handbook that they are 5'8 feet and they seem shorter because master chief is 7 feet tall, Peace.--The Chazz025 and Clan 20:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would trust the manual. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 16:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Both wrong, in terms of game measurements. The Halo 2 Jackals are roughly 6'6" tall. Nearly 7 feet if you count their head-crests actually. -The Dark Lord Azathoth 00:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Page Number needed
There is also an unknown red armoured jackel mentionin Halo Ghost of Onyx! -- Halo3 01:39, 22 March 2007

Forgot to mention I put the edit on the article.Look on page 215 of Halo Ghost of Onyx.

Could he have meant a Jackal Major? Their armour is orange and is along the same lines as red.-- Joshua 029 20:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 16:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Jackals in Second Levels
In Halo CE, the first enemies in the second level are the Grunts and Elites that come out of the drop ship along with two banshees. Also in Halo 2, the first enemy is a Grunt in a hallway after Master Chief gets away from the downed pelican. -Broinarm117 03:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
