What's your favorite Jackal and why? I want to know! Thanks for watching :)
Evolution of Sgt. Johnson and Sgt. Stacker
My favorite jackals is halo 3 cause they're much more fair to fight and easier to kill and the best part is that jackal snipers can carry carbines, they do not spawn in the middle of combat, their spawning locations is balanced, like jackal snipers with beam rifles always appear on rooftops, ledges, cliffs, deployable lookout towers, and trees where the players can't reach, they have bright purple that allows you to see them very easily, and jackal snipers with beam rifles are not as annoying any more because their reaction time is increased, they fire their beam rifle much faster like 2 shots causing it to overheat making them very vulnerable and gives you enough time to react and kill them and they also and very often fire a warning shot with their beam rifles when they see you.
i don't know, all jackals were great yet pretty different, if i had to pick one for design and as a solid design, i'd pick halo 5
Halo 2 jackals cuz they look funny
@@toybonniesfm I would agree but my least favorite jackals is halo 2 cause they are massive bullet sponges, they almost never flinch from damage and it is stupidly difficult to shoot the jackal hand to stun them. But what's even worse is the infamous jackal snipers, on legendary they kill in a single shot but their reaction is too fast they start shooting their beam rifles 2/3 of a second and barely miss a shot even when they noticed you and what's even worse about jackal snipers is that they can snipe you out of any vehicles (except for scorpion tanks and wraiths). So yeah that's one of the reason why halo 2 difficulty is broken as hell making halo 2 replay value frustrating.
Jackals in Halo 2: "Sniping's a good job mate."
Everything in this sentence gives me ptsd
"Challenging work. Outta doors. Guarantee you'll not go hungry."
Jackals: "shouldnt have gotten out of bed dis'morning"
Me on Halo 2: yeah...yeah I shouldnt have..
Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet
@@Alpheamus Chances are if there’s two people left on the planet, someone’s gonna want someone dead

“Makes Linda-058 look like a drunk skeet shooter.” Oof, shots fired. Literally.
Makes no sense nor is it funny.
@@BiomechanicalBrick it does make sense, you just don't seem familiar with Halo lore.
@@fenfrostpaws2000 I am. A jackal sniper would not be a better shot than Linda in any situation.
@@BiomechanicalBrick lol yeah, the jackal snipers in the prophet of regret’s fleet would massacre her
and I'm the one not familiar with halo lore lol...
I'm pretty sure that Jackle shields in Halo CE also turned red after a number of shots, it's not just from Halo 2 onwards.
They did. Gearbox’s port has broken that feature. It may be getting fixed in the next MCC update.
@@extremelyboredtatsumaki.495 yep, played it on Xbox recently and can confirm
Yeah, he is obviously filming in MCC, they only recently fixed that in the Insider version
Yeah, Gearbox broke all of the transparent graphical effects when they ported CE to PC in 2003. Windows look foggy, fog effects don’t show up, and covenant shields (jackal and stationary) don’t change colors when damaged.
@@extremelyboredtatsumaki.495 just got fixed today 😊😊
Halo 2 Jackles look cool, but PTSD tells me to hate them
@Cave Spider This
@Cave Spider angry ducks are terrifying
More incentive to put them down.
29:30
This sniper jackal just killed enough Spartans to become a shipmaster
@Luna Tenebra It's a joke lmao
@Luna Tenebra those are Shipmistresses
I heard that there was a jackal that was a ship master
I certainly miss the armor variations. Halo CE's helmet ones and Reach's armored Skirmishers in particular. We barely see any armored Skirmishers till much later in the game
Helmet jackals were dope yeah
I wondered why they stopped that. Until halo reach, most covenant members lost some of their armors from ce, and by most I mean all. The grunts lost the curl back and larger gas mask, jackals lost their helmets, and elites only had one set of normal helmets. Despite this being minimal, it was still cool to see variety of different types
I think the jackals that had helmets from CE are making a return in infinite. There is some pictures of the infinite jackals with them
@@ggssgtheorig7516 The new Jackal Snipers now have a tricloptic helmet similar to the ones in Halo 4. But yeah I dunno why they dropped the alternative armors.
I think it was to better distinguish jackle infantry from their sniper counterparts, which were added in every game after CE.
No helmet = Normal
Helmet = Sniper
It sounds stupid, but then again, so are player-friendly colour coded enemy units.
It would be nice to see a jackal firing squad, the shields for suppressive fire while riflemen(carbine or plasma rifle) shoot behind them.
I'd love to see a phalanx.
@@mee4644 oh boy
They actually more or less do that in the book, the fall of reach, except the elites run in front of them because they have to be first into battle for their honor lol. Which the spartans take full advantage of to take down lots of elites.
Fun fact
@@kodokunagemu I know. The station above Reach, in a hanger bay. The one's at the back would even protect from grenades.
Go watch the old Halo 2 demo. There's a section with a jackal phalanx.
The Jackals have got to be the most diverse in all the Covenant species. Many variants and subspecies (assuming the Skirmishers aren't the only ones) from avian to reptilian-like appearances. Would be cool to see the reptilian Jackals in Infinite alongside Skirmishers for extra Jackal variety.
i think teh halo 4 and 5 jackals are considered a different sun species
@@hyhena-gaming9986 yup I think
T'vaoans (Skirmishers), Ruuhtian (Classic), Ibie'shan (Halo 4-5)
(Edit: They're all Jackals/Kig 'Yar, but the different subspecies come from different planets)
As much as I'd love for there to be a lore explanation, I think we can chalk this down to 343's garbage art design. They ruined all the other covenant races - not just in armor for a lot of cases, but for anatomy. The Elites have skeletons like fucking brutes now, becoming lumbering, clumsy dinosaur people instead of slick, agile and efficient killer lizard ninjas like they're supposed to be. Giant clunky feet, stupid floppy fish faces.... Just ruined. For that, I consider the jackals of halo 4 to be just another victim of over zealous redesign.
There's a lot of things I actually like about 343 era halo - the levels themselves were beautiful, and fanboys can fuck off, I'm 100% prepared to say that Halo 4 has, hands down, THE BEST and most cinematic soundtrack and the story's humanization of the Master Chief was actually a brilliant idea. People can kiss my ass if they disagree. But 343 can also kiss my ass on that damn art design for the actual aliens and armor, because for the most part, they've ruined absolutely everything. Including the spartan armors.
Their redemption is at least slowly coming into play since Halo Wars 2 and what we're seeing of Halo Infinite though.
7:19 their shields also turned red in the original Xbox version of Halo CE, the mcc has the gearbox port which ruined a lot of transparent objects in game
WinningPluto8 halo ce refined project has had that fixed for a while if anyone wants to transplant it over till the fixes are official on stable release.
I found a glitch on the master cheif collection when I melee a jackal sheild when it's red sometime and I mean 50-50 IT GOES TO BLUE INSTANTLY ON EVEN EASY
MCC also has that now
I honestly would like to see the H4-5 Jackals added as an enemy subtype akin to how the Skirmishers operate; maybe carrying heavier weapons or having some sort of shield that expands to cover multiple units, like the Cabal Phalanx from Destiny 2.
@@MegaMaster1021
It kinda makes sense if you consider that dinosaurs are just ancient birds.
@@jackcolson4745 which I'm still shock about it. Yes, I grew up on the "dinosaurs are big reptiles" theory for a long time. Even after learning the truth in my final years of high school, I'm still shock about it.
That wouldn't be a bad idea. I can totally see the Jackals being plots by their three sub-species.
The Bungie Jackals: more skilled to be defensive or suppressing fire.
The 343i Jackals: more aggressive, while prone to mistakes.
And the Skirmishers: you dont want to mess with this guys due to being more faster and agile, while also getting some sweet technology.
Lore-wise they already are, we just need to see gameplay differences. Ruutian Kig-yar are the jackals everyone's familiar with from the homeworld of Eayn, Ibie'Shan Kig Yar (5 and 5 jackals) are also from Eayn but evolved on an isolated continent separate from the mainline species. T'vaoan Kig-yar are the skirmishers and are from the Kig Yar asteroid colony of T'vao. Strangely, Bungie has suggested that the T'vaoans were nearly wiped out during the Fall of Reach to explain why they don't who up anywhere else because Reach is a prequel, despite that not making much sense. Why would the entire population of T'vao be involved in the Fall of Reach?
@@jackcolson4745* alan grant would like to know your location*
I think Jackals are the only covenant species where I kinda like their 343 redesign, that being said Halo 3’s design is still my favourite
Agree
They were the only redesign that doesn't look stupid (,hunters look alright but not great)
nah i hate the halo 4/5 jackal design
@Maicol Yaxon Bro 343 designs are trash, the fuck you mean " man of culture"?
2 3 and reach they look pretty much the same xD
I always loved them in halo 1 when they had helmets, it made them look more soldierly and civilized than just them acting like crazy dinobirds the covenant just set off a leash like later games..
I would have loved to see more of their mercernary aspect realized in halo 4 and 5, emphasizing the fact that the covenant remnant has less influence over them.
Good thing they got their helmets back in infinite
I feel like Jackals were always the most underrated covenant enemy
drones are more underrated
It’s because they don’t have a lot of personality. They’re cool for sure.
@Cave Spider are you hope?
@Cave Spider there’s already gameplay with them in it and I’m pretty sure they’ve appeared in every single halo game ever lol
@Femboy Friday yes
The jackals in halo 4 are actually a sub species just like the skirmishers. They're called Ibie'shian
Skirmishers are also called T'voans!
Subspecies, Rise Up!!
Tbh the Ibie'shian should be larger like velaciraptors. That would make them a great method of transport. Can you image a dinosaur running at you with a carbine whilst a Ruuhtian rides it with a shield + needler. Running circles around the enemy, peppering them with homing projectiles to make up for the unaccuracy of riding.
T'vaoans dont need a mount. They fast as fuck already
13:11
Misses opportunity to say
‘Their eyes are no longer a lightish red’
I dont get it..?
@@YHLGguitargeek rvb
Just for the note, the CE jackal's shields glows red when shoot as well, what happened is that the port they used for MCC was from the PC not the OG xbox. The PC version have a lot of problems whit bump maping and transparente lights like the jackals shield.
I thought I was having a Mandela effect moment, could have sworn that their shields turn red, but when I last played CEA on the MCC they never changed color and my brain was having trouble processing it. Thanks for clarifying this!
@@EmDub01 you're welcome, fortunately 343 is currently fixing those problems on season 7 of MCC ✌️
I want skirmishers to return. Great enemy
@Cave Spider skirmishers went extinct in halo reach and the drones went back to their homeworld after the war ended in halo 3
@@omittingisded4810 no they’ve appeared after reach mainly post war
@@eggburger5978 yes they didn't go completely extinct but they are extremely close to extinction after halo reach due to the fact that almost every skirmisher troop was deployed on reach when they started glassing the planet
@@calus_bath_water yeah but those were mostly the males, the females and young males are still alive, but that still causes them to be close to extinction, we just need a new generation to be born and reach breeding age to see the space turkey’s cooler cousins make a comeback
Wish granted with Halo Infinite. Sort of. Apparently now "Skirmisher" is now a combat corps rather than a moniker for the Jackal subspecies race relegated to it, so the more standard Jackals wearing light power armor fulfill the Skirmisher rank and role. Also for some reason they seem to be comprised mainly of females, though then again nothing has ever indicated this wasn't the case before.
11:14 he’s just standing there MENACINGLY!
Lmao hilarious
Skirmishers are awesome! I wish they were in more halos, there’s so many interesting things that could’ve been done with them in reach that just weren’t.
Edit: ok y’all can stop telling me that they’re in infinite. I watched the campaign footage too! I mean, why the heck would go back to a comment that I forgot I even left in the first place just to update with arbitrary information? Besides, even if I didn’t know, a single reply would’ve worked.
Maybe the coolest looking Covie
Tha vast mayority of the players hate them apparently
@@rommdan2716 that’s mainly due to their problems in reach. Skirmishers never really seemed finished to me, their hitboxes are weird, they’re extremely hard to hit, overall they just seem a bit off. That’s what I wish would be fixed if they’re ever in a new halo.
@@hollowsteel that's how skirmishers are supposed to be lmao
@@ahsoka_polo I know but like, would it have hurt for bungie to make their headshot hit box actually align with their head model?
*Cover the evolution of the UNSC Marines!* 😀
From Brown bois to Horrible driving Marines in Halo Reach and chips dubbo in all of his glory
From brown boys to green boys to brown boys to gayboys
Please keep making these - Spartan types, marines, vehicles, weapons, all of it!!
You forgot about the impervious jackels from halo 5 where they can never die if they sleep!
I personally really like the design of the halo 4/5 jackals. I much prefer it to the their original designs but that's just me
I feel the same exact way!
I’m not the biggest fan, but I’m perfectly fine with them staying in the game. They seem stronger than original designs and would fit better using the shields and storm rifles while the original design be placed in a marksman/sniper position. I have this opinion with 343’s other covenant redesigns as well since they all look physically stronger than original designs, taking a more shock trooper approach with heavy weapons
I’d like it if they were a mix of CE and 4s design
I wish 343 put both Ruutian and Ibei'shaan jackals in halo 4 and 5
I don't know. Everything keeps evolving in Reptiles. (And yes, Birds are basically reptiles. I mean the traditional reptiles!) In Halo 4 everything looks reptile. Elites, Grunts, Jackals. And Grunts and Jackals both have those strange big heads. Looks kinda comic-ish.
Now all that’s left for you to do is the Drones, and the Prophets. Maybe even a video where you talk about the various different cut species and what they would have most likely done if they were added.
The way the Halo 4/5 Jackals look never really bothered me because they look cool, and Bungie already opened the door for different subspecies with the Skirmishers. If that form returns they should keep the same physiological appearance. But make their armor look less over designed and looking more in line with Bungie’s art style, while maintaining the same basic shape.
Hopefully in Infinite there will be a group of Jackal mercenaries comprised of all three subspecies. The normal ones would act the way they normally do, but are more agile than they were in Reach, and have their Halo 2 Anniversary look. The Skirmishers would behave the same as in Reach, but all the ranks would be seen more often. The Halo 4/5 Jackals would behave the same way as they do in 5 how they are more aggressive, and be the only ones that can melee you with their shield because they are clearly more durable. There’s a cut feature from Reach where if a Jackal/Skirmisher has a rifle type weapon they will use a weak melee attack which should be in Infinite. Also, for the Jackals they should have Energy Cutlasses, and the different skin colors.
I feel like the jackals should've had melee a LONG time ago, especially with the talon feet
Pretty sure in Halo 4 there's a moment on that ONI research station level where Chief enters a room and a marine gets tackled and mauled by a jackal on all fours. Why they never gave jackals melee during gameplay but literally had a moment of one mauling somebody makes no sense to me.
@@kriticalitygaming1048 you try biting through a tank or kick it full force and let me know what happens
Well thing is them having a melee doesn't fit their role in gameplay. Of course 343 doesn't understand this so they gave melee to every enemy that shouldn't have one. Because 343.
I've been waiting for this :)
Same my least favorite covenant species but I loves how they evolved in each halo game
I’ve always prefers the H4-5 jackals, would’ve loved to see them in infinite as a subspecies type thing like the skirmishers, they just look so damn cool
I just don't get the decision to make the Jackals more saurian, they're much more generic looking and redundant with the Elites already being dinos. I thought Skirmishers were done much better, they had a more striking avian design and appeared alongside the other Jackal "subspecies" rather than replacing them entirely.
They really need to add more subspecies like seriously it more interesting to see more race of race of well you know
I never understood why people refer elites as dinosaurs as a joke. The only similarities are the reverse jointed legs and their skin, literally nothing else is at all similar to a dinosaur or most reptile species. Jackals look much more dinosaur like than elites, even the pre-halo 4 ones.
@@NateNexVI Probably because Elites do look similar to reptiles, they're a saurian species with scaled skin, sharp teeth, reverse leg joints, claws, occasionally slit eyes, etc.
They even get armors that give them horns and triceratops-like head frills, look at what they had Arbiter wear in Halo 5.
Jackals are also saurian, but they were much more bird-like with narrow elongated heads and quill feathers. Except for CE, I don't know what CE is.
And the Grunts also look kinda saurian or at leat like turtles.
@@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei The Halo 4 grunts are scaly rather than the more exoskeletal look of the Bungie Trilogy grunts.
IN THE JUNGLE, THE MIGHTY JUNGLE, THE JACKALS FEAST TO NIGHT.
I honestly loved the Halo 4 Jackals
design-wise
I love how they look in 4 and 5, they look like demon raptors, making them seem fierce and scary
I wish Halo: Reach had kept the Halo 3 jackal animations. It's also pretty interesting how Halo: Combat Evolved's jackals will run away like grunts do when their squad leaders are dead but jackals in other games don't.
I swear I've routed jackel snipers in Halo 3
@@thehypest6118 What does that have to do with my comment?
@@andyfriederichsen You said that" its interesting that in Halo CE jackals run away like grunts do when they're leader is killed and dont in other games. " the other guy is saying he made a jackal sniper flee in halo 3
@@shadow_king12344 Okay, I guess I didn't understand what routed meant. However I have yet to see that in Halo 3.
8:26 but they do.
I think you're getting lucky killing those Reach jackals with grenades. Everytime I try it they dodge 'em!
The Halo 4 and 5 redesign of Jackals is definitely one I don't mind. They looks really nice
Still happy to get a more classic look back in Infinite, though. However, I still wouldn't mind seeing the 4-5 Jackals come back as a special unit, kinda like Skirmishers in Reach.
In halo 4 everything is a humanoid lizard
4/5 jackals are probably one of the coolest designs for any alien in my opinion. I really hope we can have games that have all three subspecies of jackals in the same game.
I feel like infinite was 343 taking aspects from the old, and learning what they did right and wrong and that’s what they gave us. I love the jackals in the new halo. Easily one of my favorites. Not to mention new combat mechanics
Every upload on this channel is a hit. This series especially is so thorough, well-structured, and well-paced. I love how you get right to the point but also allow for bits of humor and your own personal opinion at the end of each section, and the chapter breaks between each game are great. I am reminded of LNG’s weapon evolution series and Hokie’s School of Halo (I miss him), just really detailed information with relevant gameplay footage and great narration.
I also loved the video with 117 details in Halo 3, genuinely learned a lot of cool new things and I loved how that video was structured in order level by level (I’m sure it was difficult to put together but I would love to see similar videos for the other games), and I really like the other Halo videos about the brutes in Halo 3 and about the series’ M-rating. Also I find these videos to be very relaxing. Basically, this channel is great and every upload makes me excited, keep up the great work, I wish you the best of luck :)
Edit: Also my favorite jackal might have to be the H3 and ODST jackal for gameplay, as they are more advanced and fill more roles on the battlefield without being annoying or traumatizing lol, but for aesthetic design, I love the original CE jackals.
You know your gonna die when you see a jackal carrying a laser sniper, without wearing optics
I'm glad classic trilogy jackals(and skirmishers!) are back for Halo Infinite, but I also feel like the Halo 4/5 design could altered a bit and spun off into their own enemy type. Canonically speaking, much like Skirmishers, the 4/5 Jackals are actually a different sub species from the 1-Reach Jackals. Maybe an enemy type that is more hardy than the standard jackal but isn't quite as mobile and aggressive as Skirmishers.
The Halo 4 Jackels had one amazing thing going for them and it was only used once. On one of the missions you'll see a Jackal leap towards a civilian. If they made that a main ability of them that would have been way cooler with the Jackals forgoing their shields when depleted or leaping towards the player when reloading. Add in a shield bash that does little damage but pushes the player you'd have a pretty decent attempt to try and brawl a Spartan. Could fit with their nature as scavengers, leaping on an injured foe hoping to finish them off and claim their prize.
I actually loved all the jackel designs even 4 it actually look badass
Bruh I forgot I watched this video
i love the detail and attention you put into these videos. im currently through watching half of the evolution series. great work
I was actually waiting jackal evoulution for long time.
I like the Halo: Infinite Jackals because they have the original looks with next gen graphics, also they can talk
I was looking for a video series like this for such a long time. For some time I even considered making it myself, because nothing on CZcams actually analysed the intricacies and changes to the actual in-game enemies' appearance, attributes and AI's behaviour from one instalment to the next, which is mind boggling given that Halo probably has some of the best enemies in the industry rivaling Doom and Half-life. Almost every other video I found just went into arguably insignificant lore implications of their rank, often talking about ranks fully absent in-game, to the point where you wonder whether the subject matter even warrants an essay, as it has been thoroughly explored in the media the essay references. Your video is beautiful in-depth analysis I was looking for. The editing is very high quality as well and the visual always serves to illustrate the point you're making. And I see that over the series you've also improved your writing and right now I consider your content to be easily the highest quality Halo content on CZcams. Thank you and keep up the great work, I can see it comes from the place of passion.
Dude when i saw your thumbnails for your other videos I actually thought you were some official halo channel with about a million subs thats how underrated your channel is

BOOM head shot
These jackals are a interesting species unit in the Covenant to me. When it comes to their looks, I always get confuse on which ranks are what since they would wear the same color armor suit and switch up shield colors which only adds in the confusion to me. My personal favorite designs would be Halos Reach and 2 Anniversary since you can tell what rank of jackals you're fighting against. Gameplay I'd say Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and 5.
I’ve been waiting for this video
It's actually super funny you used that clip for the sniper jackals, as it's a sample in one of my favorite songs "Humans are such easy prey"
So, two questions:
A) Once you run out of Covenant, are you gonna move on to other enemy factions, or stuff like weapons and vehicles?
And B) Is there any chance you’d be interested in doing a similar series for Destiny? I don’t know if you play Destiny/D2, but given that it’s Bungie’s other modern series, I would /love/ to see you tackle the Fallen, Hive, Vex, Cabal, Taken, etc. just a couple of thoughts. For now, keep ‘em coming, these are some of the best produced Halo videos I’ve ever seen, and definitely my current favorite Halo YT series.
i think EBR will do UNSC Evolution and the later games Covenant.
still bugs me that they are named after a kind of dog when they are clearly lil dino men
It’s because they’re scavengers.
Hey, you did it! Been waiting for a jackal video!
I loved your editing during the Halo 2 sniper section!
Love your content. would love to see a video about the flood c:
You got some good halo videos man. Love this stuff on the covenant. I’ve always thought halo had some of the coolest enemy AI.
It was nice in halo infinite how they added both skirmishes and jackals
My favorite is the halo 2 jackals because when I first played halo 2 I thought the design looked interesting
I love these little dinos c:
Halo 3 (and odst) probably had the most perfect jackal all things considered in my eyes. Also these videos are really well written, i cant wait for what you have planned next. :)
Man this channel is so underrated
I love all Kig Yar. I would love for a game that has all subspecies fighting together, or who knows, against each other if Halo dabbles into that one day. I pick Halo 2 Anniversary jackals as deffensive mid liners, Halo 3 snipers and marksmen as dangerous back liners, with their H2A appearence, Halo 5 jackals as more agressive front liners and skirmishers as hit and run flankers. Wouldn't that be nice?
Hopefully infinite will have all 3 kigyar together

Great analysis video as always! Hope more people find your channel :)
And goddammit the sniper jackal....
I honestly don't see why most people hate Halo 4's art direction so much -- I recognize that it's different, but I thought a lot of the new designs were badass. I think the jackals in Halo 4 are an improvement -- they're much more menacing. Although I agree with the prevailing sentiment that elites looked cooler with their Bungie look.
You could almost say that 4/5 jackals are another subspecies like the grunts were
Think they were, I remember seeing one comic where both species of Jackel fought together
That's legit what they are, just like H4 Elites as well.
My favorites are skirmishers, halo 2 anniversary jackals, and Halo 4-5 jackals, because they're all different canon races of Kig Yar
Reach jackal behavior was probably intended to bring them more in line with CE ones since it’s a prequel: the existence of skirmishes definitely also helps
There are many things wrong with what you said about Halo 4, the Jackals using plasma pistols can hit you with great ease, this is even seen in your video, the sniper jackals have an excellent aim in the biggest difficulties, and there is no sense to criticize that a species that uses a shield does not go after enemies, they are a defensive and support class.
Am I the only one who remembers jackals in Halo 2 spawning with plasma rifles?
Exactly 2 of them on Delta Halo do. When your approaching the final temple in the Scorpion. Only PR Jackals in the Entire OT
There was one in reach in the last level.
Your deadpan delivery of “sniper jackal” in that terminator quote makes me laugh every single time.
Finally, I have been looking forward to this
Do cut species, varients, vehicles, and other cut halo content.
This might be controversial but halo 5 did jackals the best imo
Man I fucking love this channel! So glad I found it, so underrated!! Love your content man I hope you have a good Christmas and New Year
I've been waiting so long!
The reach Jackels are like “good evening sir” while the reach Skirmishers are like “your son/daughter calls me daddy too” and honestly both are valid.
Why valid?? Why do zoomers just love to use the word Valid when they don't even know what it means?
This is my new halo channel favorite
I was waiting for another evolution video! I'm still looking forward to the marines evolution and the flood!
Thank you so much for this video
Halo 2 og would have to be my favorite, they look super cool and less ugly. I also love the orange color of thier armor. I also think they have the best mohawks. Seeing any jackal with a longer and cooler mohawk than the halo 2 jackal would make my mind explode
the terminator reference was amazing
❤❤🎉🎉 you nailed the Jackel evolution nearly perfectly
Guess who's channel I looked up on a whim only to be granted to a fresh upload! Hell yeah.
