Jet Pack- Allows you to stay in the air for several seconds and fly.
Jump Pack- Gives a slight boost to your jump.
Jump as it always should have been
I think allowing a jump pack to act as a double jump could be a good idea. If done right, it could do what the original jet pack can do, without as much air time, and add a little learning curve to it.
So long as it makes a loud noise when used, I think it can work out just fine.
I agree with you I would choose Jump Pack also… I would want a Jump Pack that would double maybe triple jump height so that it could effectively be used.

I would not care about AA’s if only they where place on the map and you gotta fight to control it like power weapons.
Halo 3 was great…
Jump pack would be way better. I hope that is how it is in Halo 4.
Well… why not both?
The jump pack sounds more appealing to me.
Jump pack seems more balanced
Jump pack sounds much better 
Even a thruster pack would be cool if it functioned like a jet pack ONLY in 0G environments.
Jet Pack. We’re talking about 1,000 lbs walking death threats. they deserve to notch higher up then a simple jump pack…
Though I would tweak it to death before allowing the exact same Reach setting AA to make its appearance, which hey, they are probably doing…
A jump pack just makes more sense to me. The spartans are supposed to be a ground walking/running threat, not a flying one. Flying is for the hornet or banshee or whatever you want to fly around in.
A “Double-jump” pack just seems to fit much more smoothly into gameplay.
I say Jump pack it jetpack cant be severely tweaked… Its hard to say though since i think the spartan 4’s have the jump pack/thruster option to be a suit item and the jetpack is an actual stand out item that goes on the spartans back.
I get this from the 2 RVB halo 4 episodes

look at sarge at 0:28 He looks like he has a thruster / jump thruster built into his suit like chief does in the reveal trailer BUT AT THE SAME TIME he has a jetpack looking thing on o.O?
when I heard Halo 4 was having AA’s, the first thing I thought was “They’re going to put Jump Pack (like 3’s Brutes and Reach Elites) in the game instead of Jetpack. I mean, come on, they wouldn’t really think to bring one of the most complained AAs back right?”
oh, how I was really wrong :’(
The jump pack would be better for sure.

No one outside of Halo 3 has seen them yet. All we know is Sprint, and Hologram, and they say they work out really well, especially since Sprint is given a nerf when shot at.
We’ll need confirmation though. But I think it’s a little early to say that it’s copy-paste from Reach.
