And this is the normal thruster pack you’d see in your typical infinity slayer game. It’s a worse version of evade, where you can only do it once, and the cooldown is 5 seconds. It also doesn’t even take you very far, probably only 3 feet or so.
It’s probably the worst AA in the game. The range should be buffed ASAP.
It’s bad at first, but when you start to use it for a while it becomes helpful in certain situations.
It’s fun in campaign, not so much in War Games.
It should at least cover more ground than it does right now.
It’s usually very good at one thing: when somebody scope locks on a jet packer, it gives me all the time in the world to run behind them and snag myself an assassination.
Make it like the campaign’s thruster.
Thruster is actually one of the most useful AAs.
its one of the best AA. its not suppose to use it like evade… use it to dodge grenades, rockets, and bullets on 1on1 battles… also good to use it when going off a ledge so when you fall you’ll be ready to shoot. its very good if someone is going straight at you or coming from be hide
> its one of the worstAA. its not suppose to use it like evade… use it to dodge grenades by three feet, rockets (but the splash of rockets > dodge distance of thrusters), and bullets on 1on1 battles… however, any half decent player can still track you and hit you while you cant defend yourself for the 2-3 seconds you are ‘dodging’ also good to use it when going off a ledge so when you fall you’ll be ready to shoot. its very good if someone is going straight at you or coming from behind (which again they can still just unload a half clip in the time it takes for you to bring your weapon up again.)
Fix’d it for you

Just because you think terrible AAs like hologram are better than TP doesn’t make TP bad.

Totally right? Because i said i like hologram…-.-
The thruster pack is very limited and not worth using… 343i should really consider making an update! I’m just sayin’…
2.3 kd with 7,000 kills here,
thruster pack is the only AA i use. its not supposed to be evade, its different. its not meant to push you 15m in any direction. i use it to fall behind cover, get out of the way of nades before they explode, thrust to the left of right if someone is trying to n00b combo me with plasma pistol, get behind someone about to assassinate me, etc, etc. i think its terrific and does the job its designed to do.
it does need a small buff but not on the level of reach’s evade, made 1/3 extra distance its useful sometimes but i swear the flashbang effect has been removed
Somtimes pissed me of. Good for taking short cover but useless for evading grenades, splatter and dosent go very long.
In comparison of the rest of the AA’s, it’s just as bad but more useless than the Jetpack in this game.
I get more use out of Camo & Hologram, heck even Promethean vision.
Agreed , it is one of the worst AA in the game.

Bragging about KD and number of kills doesnt mean anything here kid. KD went out the window during CoD when people started stat padding.
The thing is you move about 2 feet more than you do normally sidestepping, AT THE LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO FIRE. If you cant evade grenades normally with the giant ‘GRENADE IS HERE’ indicator we now have, and you need TP to help you, you’re bad. Sure you can evade PP bolts, but at the cost of AC, Pro Vision, Hologram, its too steep of a loss.
The only time you are assassinated is when you’re not paying attention. If you get assassinated while paying attention to your 6 and need TP to not get assassinated…i feel sorry for you.
> Bragging…kid.
> you’re bad.
> and need TP…i feel sorry for you.
I can’t tell whether you are ranting about the Thruster Pack or him.
I don’t have much issue with the range of it as I do the camera. I can’t stand that it puts you into 3rd person for that brief second you are boosting.
