*[[Kig-Yar Sniper|Snipers]] are added to their ranks.
*[[Kig-Yar Sniper|Snipers]] are added to their ranks.
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Jackals wore more armor, often had helmets, had shorter, stubbier beaks, more jewel-like eyes, and came in two skin color variations: black and orange. In ''Halo 2'', they are more avian looking and have only an orange skin color. Also they have pink reptile like eyes which flicker off and on when dead, but still stay pink. They also have larger biceps and chests. It is unknown why these changes happened, and if the Halo 2 Jackals are a different variety/race of Jackals than the ones in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' or if the changes were mostly just graphical. Besides the aesthetic differences, there have also been changes in the way the Jackal Personal Arm Shield works and looks, and the addition of a sniper rank. In neither game do Jackals utilize [[Type-1 Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades]], although they do carry grenades in ''Halo 2''.

*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', Jackals hunt predominantly in pairs, usually one major and a minor, 2 minors, or sometimes 2 majors (though more than one pair may be present in certain areas). In ''Halo 2'', shielded Jackals work primarily in teams upwards of four, though they are occasionally found in pairs. Sniper Jackals can also be found working in teams on occasions.
