The Jackal

Post » Sun Mar 15, 2009 4:23 pm

I heard of people complaining about the weapons lime the scar, grendal, and etc. But today the first time I've heard of someone complaining shot the jackal. So what's your opinion is it great, horrible, or are do people complaining need to learn how to use the single shot attachment on the gun.

Please post a reply on your opinion.

Thanks GILTSPIRE

The jackal ? OP ? maybe if you have no energy left and getting shot in the back. I hardly ever see anyone use it as it takes around 3-5 shots to kill someone if they have full energy(from what I saw) I never even unlocked it yet and I;m not bothering to. in the demo it was OP 1-3 shots to kill you closer OR mid range even with armor on -.- stupid **** that was.

I think its fine now but every so often you may get someone who rolls with their team and kills the leftover their team mates dont get with 2 shots (had this happen before -.-)

I think the pump shotty may be an issue but I haven't see anyone use it yet

I like the jackal a lot, the only problem is I see people who kill with one or two shots after I have just finished blasting them four or five times and it makes me pretty angry. then in the kill cam it shows me missing them a bunch, maybe a recoil issue?

The jackal blows based on the MP demo experience. You can empty an entire clip into an enemy only to have him turn around and kill you. Even if you do manage to kill some, it takes pretty much 1 entire mag to finish him off, leaving you open to anything else that comes after. I dunno if it has been changed in the full game, i never bothered to use it.

The jack suffers the same problem that all the semi guns suffer:
If you are not host they are worthless.
Now I know some people like them anyway, but they are happy on the bottom half of the lobby ranks. Assuming you want to win, you won't use a gun that has six rounds in the clip with two slow reloads when you know that while you aren't hosting about half your hits won't count. Simple.
I've noticed an overwhelming number of lobby leaders sticking to the SMGs for this simple reason.

I see what you guys are saying but have you ever tried the sing shot it really helps with accuracy and thus damage.

dude, latency means if you want to win you have to use LOTs of bullets, paint the area and hope for a kill. When not hosting I do better when I spray around Tango than dead on him, making assaults and SMGs king of the ring.

We're all sure the jackal rocks face, unfortunately it doesn't matter.
