What are your thoughts on a default Thruster Pack start in a Classic Playlist in Halo 4? I’ve gone back to Halo 3 and am really enjoying it, but I find myself missing the Thruster Pack at times! I really liked the “Strongside” mechanic tho, where ducking your head hides it while running away from enemy players, so that kinda makes up for it…
But back to Halo 4, I’m really hoping the TU and hopefully the addition of a Classic Playlist, will spark my interest in the game again. But with a Classic Playlist, I would personally really like the inclusion of the Thruster Pack as the only AA available for use. It really adds a subtle yet interesting dynamic to player movement without breaking maps, IMO.
Agreed. I actually don’t have any issue with Thruster, Hologram, or Hardlight.
It’s just the mindless and -Yoink- abilities that I hate.
If it is a map pickup maybe, but honestly i want to play classic halo and aa’s even the thruster pack would not be my idea of fun.
Edit: thinking about it just for a few seconds longer it wouldnt be bad, hey it is finally a classic playlist after all…

Yeah honestly I would hate for it to be a map pick-up… leads to players having more abilities than others and all of that, or “imbalance” really, by definition.
If it has a thruster pack then its not a classic playlist…
A classic playlist is H1 style.
And no, I want a classic playlist, not some mostly classic playlist with… Armour abilities… Yuck.

Without Halo: CE movement and physics, and the addition of Sprint it will never feel like Halo: CE… The best thing they could do IMO is keep some of the most “classic friendly” elements of Halo 4, in with a Classic Playlist to keep the game new and fresh while switching off OD’s and reverting to the old Arena-Shooter formula.
I don’t really even view Thruster Pack as an AA to be honest, just another way to move about the map. Now an AA like ProVision, Jet Pack (that breaks maps), or Camo (in it’s current AA state)? Then yeah, yuck…
