A lot of people probably won’t know what I’m talking about, but I think a good alternative for the Jet Pack would be something similar to the Space Jump boots from Metroid Prime, in other words, a precision double jump. This would still give you the satisfaction or reaching higher areas than you could normally get, without breaking the maps by flying over everything. Then make jet pack based gametypes for those that love flying all over the place.
Bad? Good? Throw rocks at Omega?
I actually had the same idea, i loved Metroid Prime xD Got a spare gamecube so i can play it again?
Double jumping sounds less broken than flying around like Boba Fett. Of course with high jump heights, one could argue you wouldn’t need double jump.
True, I always loved crouch jumping in Halo 2 to get places you couldn’t normally get.
Sorry, you can’t have my gamecube, me and my buddies still pull it out every few weeks for some good ol Smash Bros Melee.
Eh it’s okay, I’ll just find a used one or get a gamecube emulator.
xD
…Anyways, i wasn’t a big fan of Jetpack coming back. I feel that regardless of how it’s balanced out, it’s still going to be available on spawn; an advantage (a powerful one at that) that no one fought for.
Same goes for Camo 
Yeah, the only one I really liked thought was balanced was Hologram, mostly because I found it hilarious as well as useful in team snipers. Jetpack shouldn’t last nearly as long as it does, and active camo just makes campers that much worse. Hoping they make them easier to spot at least.
You seem like someone I would get along with haha.
I loved metroid but I don’t thin this is a good idea
Tricking people with hologram is pretty epic, hardly anyone expects it which makes up for the lack of speed. T bagged many a player when they started shooting at the fake and i apply knife via assassination 
Thanks you’re pretty chill too, though some users on here don’t like me very much. I can be mean and cranky (lack of sleep =P)
Oh you’re fine. I have indents on my head from the f and j key on my keyboard because of some of the people here.
So why don’t you think it’s a good idea?
Nothing but assumptions at this point. No one has seen detailed footage of the “Jet pack”. I always thought (when looking at the “first look” trailer) that it acted more like the Jump Pack that Shock troopers used in star wars Battlefront.
I hope that’s what it is.
heh i see we share that though i have been banned before because of my…intolerance to certain viewpoints lol.
The Dark Trooper jump pack idea was also a good one, man those guys were intimidating with their shotguns and armor ;o
Jet packs definately have a place in this game, I’m just not sure its in the more competetive playlists.
I was thinking space jump boots before I even read the post haha, they would work way better and be more balanced where as map control wouldnt be obselete
If they can make a jetpack lift 800 pounds, they can find a way to make a man double jump in the future.
Can do that. Against the laws of physics. Unless they give a valid scientific explanation to do that, they would not put it in.
Jetpack releasing all its energy at once, only located in the boots. Done. 
Also good, jumping height should be fairly limited though. I always thought the jetpack in Reach could cross way to much distance.
Remember the Reach level in which you’re in a city, and towards the end, an evac ship crashes?
And the part with the ODSTs called “The Bullfrogs”? And you picked up a jetpack.
But the ODSTs’ jetpacks acted differently.
I think the H4 jetpack should be like that, but upwards at a 75° angle.
I want freerunning.
Agreed.
