Hey, i’ve been following Halo 4 for a few months now, and i was under the impression that the Jetpack AA had been completely replaced by the new AA Thruster pack. Now this recent footage of the shotgun (assumed to be a placeholder) has also showed what looks to be the enemy using the jetpack AA, which is the main interest here.
I honestly do not want jetpack to return, unless it is highly modified so this concerns me. Point of this thread is to see if people think that is the jetpack or thruster pack. Is he using the thruster pack while jumping? But the spark effect from thruster pack looks like it’s missing… I’m not sure. Video below also contains, to me, loud dubstep… You’ve been warned! Shotgun + Jetpack Gameplay Clip
I always find developer’s silence on such hot button issues very telling.
Either it is in because of popular demand or it is not. Since 343i has not confirmed its removal like Armour Lock then I guess it can be assumed it is in. 343i does not want to talk about it because they want to balance controversial news with more calming news. They’re not holding back because they want to surprise some people with the good news it’s not included at the last moment. That won’t sell a game. I’m guessing it is an immensely popular feature and they just want to keep the barking dogs at bay until they can balance the issues with another good feature’s news.
Since it probably is in, then what remains is implementation. You can bet its characteristics are already cast in stone with only tiny bits of tweaking remaining. Nothing that would fundamentally change it.
What people should be hoping for is that Map Default Abilities are set to exclude Jetpack where their use is not appropriate.
