The1thatwantstounderstand

Im am not understanding this at all, please someone tell me, is this real?!?!?!?!

vince

Most of you are fucking mugs,don't you realise that it is all fake.Did you ever consider that those tapes are not only in English but in many different languages and therefore unreal tapes only made for this game ONLY.Think for fuck sake.You are all part of the bloody fuckin' flock.

@ TomR

They're not real, this site is a clever way of marketing the game.

TomR

Jackal is Jack Carver

James

How can they just use the jackal recordings in a game, that is if they are real?

Ipoddd

Is there any way anyone can tell me how to or where to download these files, I want to convert them for my Ipod

Reuben,
Your story seems quite interesting but there is just one thing I would like to say: Why was it ignored by the media? This story must be published to show the true horrors of war in Africa and around the globe!

Sincerly,

umm.. this is ubisoft promotional right?

EXTRS

While the Jackal himself comes across outwardly as something of a nasty piece of work, I can sense he's a man who's been failed by the world. He has obviously seen through the wrongs of political sensibility, what people can do to justify conflict and suffering, and also what poeple are willing to do when desperate; He's a desperate man himself. In some ways I can emphasise with him that the AK-47 can be a "great equaliser" - He definetely abides by the means justifying the ends.
Even if he sounds like a monster on most of these tapes, there is a lot of truth about human nature and war.

Azrael

Points raised in these tapes have a way of getting under your skin and causing a resonating effect within us, the same is true for some of his words to me. However, the Jackal for all his reasoning, logic and cynical outlooks, insightful and enthralling as they may be, forgets to take into account just how random, sporadic, fickle(whatever word you choose to describe it) the human race can, has and will be. He tries to rationalise glorified animal instinct and subsequent action in a world that has become what the super predator of mankind thrives in, or at least humanity is in the process of finding a way to do so in an environment it creates for itself, intentionally or not. Hell, anyone, his philosophical backers included can accuse me of the same thing. But in the end, all it comes down to is an argument of the same logic, reasoning, personal opinions coalesced by uncountable experiences, lessons and parallel views that assures, concretes a singular focal grouping of beliefs of the assumption that it is fundamentally right. The same logic and reasoning that demands that something that requires no reason, no logic, to be rationalised, to be explained.

Paradoxical enough to make your head hurt isn't it?

And if this didn't make any sense, attribute it to fatigue.
Even I know that just because nobody understands me sometimes, it doesn't make me an artist.

whats the difference beteen The Jackal and The lion they both kill....

Ryan

i think most of you have it wrong i don't belive that he is bad because you can't just be born bad, something in his life has twisted him into what he is today. he is intelligent and has lost hope with the world, i belive he has seen such great horrors that he has become it himself, as you can hear from the first tape he may even consider himself dead, so he may think what is there to lose, i don't think anyone has the right to judge him because most people are lucky the way they were brought up and don't have to seen things so horrorible that it would turn a man bad i think the jackal has seen to many of these bad things and if any of you have seen the same i think only then do you have the right to judge...

DeclaredSomnium

I can agree in part with some of the things, like the using fear as a weapon, he has a valid point, if your enemy is afraid, they won't be as willing to fight, only a soldier full of rage is useful, a scared soldier, is a dead soldier.

I agree whole heartedly with Ali, "His outlook on life is one of the most realistic and logical ones i've seen a quite a while."

See you in the game guys, but you may not see me...

shaun

M.r Oluwagembi, i just wanted to say your cool.

kano

some people who are on here take this way too serious or is that part of the whole blog site thing?

mark beeching

I was so happy to find these on the internet, its pure genius. right up until and after he snaps and tries to rationalize what hes done. the fact of the matter is there is no rationalization, there is no reason. and if there were a reason would it really matter? would it change anything? does self justification breed understanding? and why is a reason needed, what is the purpose of a reason in situations such as these...

The_Tank782

he seems both paranoid and cocky. he hnows how powerful he is and thinks himself to be a savior. the only concerns he has is in profit and his own skin. i wonder what he would be like without weapons to sell

qrter

He seems bloody boring to me.

The Jackal

I am neither good nor evil, like
I said. I am here for the money.

Justin

This is very puzzling to me. The Jackal himself sounds like he's breaking down, physically speaking because I could sense a bit of fear and anxiety in his voice. Like someone was watching him or something. He's a very complex individual.

Jag

Well Ali I understand what you are telling me and I get what you believe and I respect what you believe. Its just that When a man like the Jackle is okay with people dying-sons, husbands fathers, brothers-so that he can prophet is something that I can't let go. And is situations were things go even as far as innocent people dying I can't stand seeing the good people, Like you and me< do nothing.

Ma Jin

I think The Jackal raises deeper question on Africa, maybe he is partly right... or maybe there is hope after all......

Ali

I'm sorry, Jag, but i can't seem to see eye to eye with you. The jackal isn't good nor evil, there is no such thing, if we call him that than it's simply our opinions based on facts, which are neither moral nor immoral as society has forced us to decide which is which and believe it. You don't have the right to judge him. You have the right to kill him, but you don't have the right to judge him.
