Jackel Snipers

If I don’t get domed by a Legendary Jackel Sniper from a mile away while I’m enjoying the scenery, I will be very disappointed.

That is all

Idk. I think it would be kinda cool :slight_smile:

As annoying as Sniper Jackals are, I’d be sad if they weren’t in Infinite

Oh I fully agree, I want Halo 2 level of frustration in my veins once again.

They have a special place in my heart as well.

If I get downed by a Jackal Sniper from a distance away I’m going to be completely laugh my rear end off

As an eater egg somewhere on Zeta maybe there is a Jackal Sniper den of death? Are they in the campaign? I really don’t hope so.
I like a challenge while playing on legendary but one shot jedi snipers and bullet sponges are two things i hope are not the way of making it difficult :slight_smile:

Imagine the jackal was several kilometres away but still manages to headshot chief instantly once he breaks cover… :joy:

That, and having Brutes throw suicide grunts at you while you’re fighting for your life against Elites with Captial-ship-grade energy shields

Maybe they can put an actual “halo 2 jackal sniper” in the game as an Easter egg or as a guardian for when you go out of the map.

A skull for it would be awesome really. Since a lot of people seem to not want a challenge on legendary, might as well add it for LASO.

This is why the beam rifle should not be in the game and enemies should generally not be equipped with hitscan(or near to it), high damage long range weapons. You can split hairs about how the Focus rifle was balanced, but IMO it didn’t have the same issues as the beam rifle equipped Jackals have had from the outset.

The fundamental problem with Jackal snipers is that the player can’t do anything except role the dice and hope that the dice roll decided that they missed. You really can’t avoid the issues with Jackal snipers unless you change the weapon they are equipped with.

So far I haven’t seen any sign of the beam rifle or any longer Covenant precision weapon outside of the Stalker rifle and its not really clear whether its supposed to slot into the “beam rifle” or “carbine” space, though hopefully it ends up being more interesting than either of those two weapons.

They have a certain charm despite being so savage

i think adding it for legendary and heroic would be good, but for a new player that might be a little much cause they are super annoying

I never saw one

Man, the nostalgia that would go along with that rage.

Agreed. Though, I wonder what we can expect from their sniper? The new Covenant sniper rifles looks more akin to the Focus Rifle from Reach rather than the Beam Rifle from 2, 3, 4, & 5.

In Legendary they kill you with one shoot

This is the way

The Halo 2 Legendary Jackal Snipers only add to the experience, so I say bring them on.

If they make it into the game you will look back on this thread and ask yourself “why did I do this?”.
