Like the title says I think there should be an AA called the “Jump Pack” that allows you to get to higher spaces like the Jet Pack, however:
*The Jump Pack is an instant upward movement.
*The Jump Pack requires a brief time of holding down the AA button to charge it up, in which you are vunerable to attack.
*Like the Brute Jump Pack, you can not use your weapons while you are airborne or charging it up.
Why not just nerf jet pack into jump jets? But then again there is no need since the jet pack makes most users giant flying targets easily shot down at range.
… that doesn’t solve the map breaking problem jetpack brings in…
It’ll lessen it, but will still be pretty broken…

Players will have to make a choice, take a risk (of getting shot). Only use it when its really needed.
This was my idea for the AA thread somewhere in this forum:
Booster Pack:
when activated, it accelerates the user upwards in whatever direction they happen to be pushing the thumbstick. the acceleration is extremely high (think like a banshee boosting but 5x faster), preventing the use of weapons. When in the air, the user can hold down the AA button, which sets the booster to low burn, slowing the players descent while allowing them to fire. It can be used in a similar manner to the jetpack, but requires a greater amount of skill to accurately land on a platform above.
I still think the jetpack is a great AA though, and it should be left in matchmaking. Where you guys might think it breaks map flow/control, i think it gives less experienced players a chance to survive an assault on a campable position. if the cliff on settler was taken by more experienced players, the newer players would be screwed for the rest of the game due to their inability to attack the position
…How about no Armor Abilities at all? Balanced gameplay anyone?

Stagnation anyone?
Seriously, it adds more variety to the game. It makes it FUN. What good is a game if its not FUN
Going up? Fine. That’s fine. But coming down? Ah, now THAT’S what I want to know…
I vote for either a hilarious yelp and a crimson splatter when you hit the ground, OR a BA GROUND-POUND! “HULK SMASH!”

Exactly, we dont need to get rid of AAs, we just need to make them more balanced.
