On Metropolis, kill a Jackal on the Scarab. If it is on the right place, it will appear blue, as though it were inside the Scarab. This is due to error in ground establishment on the Scarab (a part of the Jackal is "inside" the Scarab, and anything labeled as "inside" assumes a blue tinge.). Not sure, but may work with other species.

The '''Blue Jackal''' [[glitches|glitch]] is a lighting phenomenon that can be seen in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' [[Campaign]] level [[Metropolis]]; it can sometimes also happen in [[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]. As the name suggests, it causes the corpses of some Jackals to turn blue.


==Walkthrough==
[[Category: Glitches]]
===Metropolis===
In Metropolis, kill a Jackal on the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]].  If it is on the right place, it will appear blue, as though it were ''inside'' the Scarab's tech innards. This is the result of a lighting glitch; a part of the Jackal's corpse is "inside" the Scarab, so the game assumes that the entire Jackal is in the Scarab's interior, and lights it accordingly. [[Melee]]ing the body will cause it to change to other colors, strangely including yellow and red. Shining your flashlight on the affected corpses will temporarily revert them to normal.
 
===Regret===
When you hear a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] say, "''Full car coming up,''" in the room where you fight the [[Yanme'e|Drones]], throw a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|Plasma Grenade]] down the lift before it comes up. When you get to the tram's destination, the Drone corpses may be blue.
 
==Trivia==
*This rarely happens to [[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Unggoy|Grunts]], usually happening to Major Grunts.
*It happens most of the time when the game uses moving scenery or [[Wikipedia:Binary space partitioning|BSP]], so this is most likely the reason.{{citation needed|doesn't the game ALWAYS use moving scenery and BSP?}}
