Why does it have so many sparks? And why is it amber? I liked the one from the trailer; smooth, and blue. The one from the screen shots looks like -Yoink-. The sparks make it look like you got stuck with the dis-functional piece of -Yoink- because it was the only AA left.
Thoughts??
Anyone??
Speaking strictly from canon, the t-pac isn’t the most trustworthy piece of equipment.

This is kind of off topic since its strictly canon, but I’m interested in what you mean. Do you mean how they are some what difficult to navigate through 0-G, or how if they get damaged you can find your self tumbling through space? Or both?

Both and I feel like its in game look reflects its nature in other aspects of canon, thats all I ment.

Bah, won’t stop me from using it! 
Though I agree that the blue in the announcement trailer looked much nicer.

I really want to know why its being used in normal gravity. I thought it was strictly 0-G. Could its normal gravity use be the reason for all the sparks?
Anyone else?
Pleas, at least make the thrusters blue again. Amber is better for the Jet Pack.
Have to agree, the blu just looked better, and the sparks are a bit annoying… BALTB! (BlueAllTheWayBra!)

This.
Mostly, though, I’m just glad Evade is back (At least some version of it!)
I like it.
It’s being used in normal gravity because the Spartan IVs don’t wanna end up like Georgia.
I’m excited about it, but I hope the recharge time is fast enough to use it frequently.

So that’s why Georgia… actually, I’d rather not talk about it…
The ones in the teaser are designed for zero gravity environments. The Armor Ability version is for use in-atmosphere. At least that’s why I think there is so much of a trail, it takes a lot of force to propel a one-ton chunk of human-shaped metal forward at those speeds.
I don’t mind it, personally. I could go either way.

But I really do wanna know
Well, from a logical stand point of view, the sparks are a visual indicator that the thrusters are working much harder to push the Spartan forward in the atmosphere, having to deal with gravity and G-forces, while in zero G, the thrusters only need a minimal amount of force to push the Spartan forward.

And you don’t want to know want to know what happened to Georgia.
well the jet pack AA has blue thrust.
pause at 1:08 to see jet pack and thruster pack side by side
