Idea to balance Thruster Packs in Halo 5

Since some people are complaining about the thruster pack as well. Why not link that to the shields too? Have it so when you’re out of shields you can’t use it and when you do you lose 10-20% of your shields. That will balance it out in my opinion. What do you think? I think it can be easily abused right now and people don’t use it sparingly.

Balance what’s already balanced? Why?

No… it’s balanced already.

Uh, it has a pretty decent cooldown time as it is, plus it just freakin boosts you a few feet in any direction. If people suck so much that they can’t aim at a guy who boosts, they might want to play something else.

I think it’s balanced already

So… Essentially punishing everyone that isn’t playing the game like Halo 3.

In that case just remove the Spartan Abilities. Sprint already stops shields from recharging…

In literal terms that would sound impossible due to the fact it probably couldn’t use the energy from the shields as a fuel to fire the thrusters, all though knowing they have huge ships that (probably) go a while with out refueling, I don’t even know if they refuel, point is I don’t think you can change energy shields into a liquid that fast.

Gameplay doesn’t have to be realistic. That said, the Thruster Pack is balanced already.

I don’t even like that sprint is linked to shields

I never used it once in the beta and I did fine. So it isn’t overpowered to begin with.

Yes it is balanced but I have to say it has to be realistic if H5 is going to be based off of war games which it is, so therefore if it is actual spartans playing that means it has to be realistic in halo terms. Basically I am saying the spartan goes into war games with his armor on and it does the exact same thing as it would in the field.

if you getting shot, some milisecond delay till you can use it, and if your opponent were to miss a shot, you can insta use it from there.

that would be more fair.

It felt balanced to me. Everyone had it, and had the same opportunity to use it.

I thought it was balanced too. xD I had someone complain to me about it.
