In the 343 vidoc, there’s one shot that displays what appears to be a thruster pack icon. Now many of you are probably upset over this and think it will be Jetpacks all over again, but I personally think that this ability could work. Remember Star Wars: Battlefront? The Dark Trooper’s jump pack? What if the thruster pack worked the same way? Instead of operating like the Jetpack seen in Reach, it could be used to cover ground quicker and to cross great chasms with ease? Of course there should be a gauge that restricts you from using it too much, but I think it could work this way and not foul up the gameplay. Anybody agree?
It should be used to adjust the height of your jumps. The longer you hold jump, the higher you jump and the more “floaty” it is.
I agree for playlists like BTB and Invasion, ect.
I also agree for custom games.
I think it worked fine in reach.
Just take the Jetpack, make it eat fuel much faster, and remove the hover.
You have a quick double jump and nothing more, sorta like a vertical Evade with only one use per charge. Hovering and ascending really high was what broke the Jetpack in the first place.
I just had a brain storm what if while jumping you push the thruster and instead of upward thrust it provides sidways thrust.thus instead of becoming a sitting duck while jumping when someones trying to snipe as you you can thrust yourself back into cover.

yea exactly, like a mid air evade, but without the fancy flourish of an elite roll

That is a risk you take by jumping. Don’t reward players for bad decisions with an undo button.
All of your ideas wont work because the thrusters only work in zero g environments

Maybe you can use it for directional thrust, simple choose a direction either up for higher jump, down to throw yourself under some cover or maybe SPRINT, and side to side for evasion.

You’re using the wrong word. For your simile.
An undo button would be something like on paint. Which would completely remove that mistake.
If they use this to help them get back to cover. They would still have the damage that got done to them. From that engagement. It wouldn’t somehow reverse the game to the point where they made that mistake.

True. I guess removing that part would still keep that statement’s meaning. What do you suggest I change it to?

That’s not a reason why any ideas in this thread wouldn’t work.
