At the moment, I’m in love with thruster pack. Its very helpful for throwing off enemies attacks, lift redirects, ninjas, and saving yourself from falling.
So far, aside from loljetpack, I’d say the thruster is the most useful, once you know how to use it.
In terms of jetpack, that armor ability along with the jetpack AR combo people who use it can die in fire. It ruined doubles for me, and continues to annoy me to know end despite how easy they are to kill.
Holograms alright, but could be better.
Hardlight annoys me, but at least it’s no Armor Lock.
Regens pretty nice, but the sound annoys me.
Promethean vision, as a ninja who likes nothing more than ninjaing, can die in fire.
and that’s pretty much it.
EDIT: Camo is alright, still not a fan of it and think it would be much more balanced as a map pick up.
I use Promethean Vision but in my opinion there isn’t a “best”. AAs have been balanced quite well in this game, it’s all about your play style and the situations you’re in.

i agree there is nothing i love more than dodging those pp charges or thrusting behind a player and assassinating them,for me its what makes halo great,the only one i do dislike is the active camo only for the small majority who camp every single game with it

I agree with the idea but the list is incorrect.
Jetpack and Promethean Vision are right at the top. PV is the ultimate nullifier, it deconstructs any creativity or unpredictability and is a strong --and quite disgusting-- AA. Jetpack is obvious.
Other than that I’d make some minor changes like putting Camo in the medium tier and Hardlight and Hologram in the lower tier.
Personally I think Jetpack is probably the best and is certainly one of the most destructive, but I only use Regen myself. I’m not to find something that makes battles amazingly one-sided like Jetpack does, nor something like Thruster Pack that seems to make the user invincible for some reason. Just like Regen so that I’m not doomed after one DMR shot to the back.

You’re putting Jet-Pack in “God Tier”? I view Jetpack as the most useless AA honestly, sure it can get you to a height advantage but it makes you so vulnerable and is so slow that you’re vulnerable for a long time. In my opinion every AA is useful in different situations.

Yes, because if you know what you are doing it truly is one of the best, if not the best, AA’s.
You must be flying straight up in wide open fields though, right?
Pay attention to the sightlines on the map, and use it to ambush enemies that are about to rush at you. Flying straight over an enemy right before he rounds the corner puts yourself at a massive advantage. Your fault if you die in the process, not the ability’s.
> Oh I see you brought your hardlight shield to the party. That’s cool. Can you hang on to this frag grenade for me? K thanks.
Which is why I usually use Evade instead, but being able to reflect TANK SHOTS is pretty damn awesome.
> Promethean Vision are right at the top.
Being able to spot campers seems useful, but besides that to me it’s a crutch and a waste of a slot.
