Crysis 2 Using the Jackal...Like a boss 18-1

I kept seeing random posts with people giving advice that included using the Jackal. My experience with it kept me away since it seemed to take too many shots to kill someone and you'd run out of ammo fast. Instead of dismissing these posts, I decided to try it out. Not a bad choice.

I decided against commentary this video and chose to let the video speak for itself. I do have parts where my clan mates were talking in vent. It will either be slightly entertaining or a bother. Either way, I slacked on this video :P

Primary: Jackal - single shot
- This is the only way the jackal should be set up. Most damage and accuracy.
Secondary: AY69
-Best gun to quickly switch to when you don't want to reload at that moment.

Modules:

Energy Transfer - This gun and play style would be hard without it. I tried Nano Recharge but without it full upgraded, playing with this style was much too hard.

Stealth Enhance: Less energy used to keep the fast pace moving. This is a suit module that almost any play style can and will benefit from.

Hip Fire Accuracy: The name says it all - increases the accuracy when you are not aiming down the sights. I tried mobility enhance but seemed to take some damage away and I didn't get as many 1 shot kills when I was hip firing so I highly suggest keeping this suit module.

Basic idea of this set up is making each shot count as I stated with the Grendel. I focused most my shot to be on the money so many times I just take my time to make it square on the chest. Many times I will jump in the air and shoot on the way down allowing head shots. You can choose to hip fire these or with a bit of practice you can aim down the sites and make a 100% accurate shot.
Always try to flank with this set up. Since you cannot fire at a distance, you want to make sure the enemy doesn't have teammates around since you may not be able to easily turn around and spray them with bullets.
**Key Point** Notice how I stay patient in many circumstances. I allowed the flow of people to keep going and not just mindless blasting at someone. This allowed teammates to show up and for me to get the edge on them. Two situations I can think of is when I used the visor on that stair case at the beginning. There ended up being like 3 guys down there. The second scenario was on the metal ramps on the far end of the map. I tagged one guy and then searched the common top area where people are. Got the kill then moved on safely.
I am having lots of fun playing this class for a few games and think it will be a good future gun for me. **Do not use the Marshall over the Jackal**
Jackal does = damage with better hip fire accuracy from what I've seen. *Also not the Jackal reloads faster outside of cloak than when you are in cloak so make sure you use reload speed into your strategy. Either way, it reloads faster than the Marshall.

I started using Jackal with air stomp + Stealth Enhance + Point fire last week and so far I killed 100 people with it. For me, Jackal is way better than Marshall that it can shoot longer range and the rate of fire is quite fast. But yeah, Marshall is better with silencer, in a way

@kimorsa I have a better feel for Jackal and the single shot is much faster than the Marshall. Marshall isn't as forgiving when you miss compared to the Jackal. And from my speculations Point fire is completely useless with shotguns. Not 100% sure on Marshall but if they only nerfed the Jackal's damage then Point Fire changes nothing. I spent 20 minutes with my clan mates testing out the shot gun and the accuracy stayed the same down sights and hip fire.

did you know that you are able to see anything without nanovision ?? i realised that all the pc players are nanovison whores they are always running around with nanovision in console gamplays there is aboud 2 secunds of nanovision in a hole match and you are able to see the beautiful grafics.

@jc2tube That is why I am a far superior player than you. Some play for fun. I play for the competition. And hell if I'm not going to use all the tools given me. I bet you don't even use visor. I tried playing Crysis 2 on xbox and that is difficult to switch to nano vision and visor to tag. It's probably cause I play pc though.

finally, a good crysis 2 player...makes me wanna get it. does this game suck on ps3?

[Inconsistentgamer]

@CaptainOmarful I'm not sure on the ps3 but either way pc or console the game should be similar so i assume its still pretty good :)

Well, after I got Energy Transfer III, I love the class! Jackal extended mag, Majestic, flashbang, and yeah Stealth Enhance III. The only thing that seems to be weird is the point fire enhance. Is it really not working on shotguns? If that so, I would go for a Mobility Enhance then :P

I love seeing another talented jackal user. I get tired of seeing people running around spraying their scar like they think it takes any skill.
