I’ve been trying to get my thruster packs to work correctly in a variety of MP and Warzone modes with no success. No matter what button settings I use, all that happens when I click the button or bumper I set to it, all I get is a slight shudder that takes me nowhere! Someone told me to try pointing upward before initializing the control but that makes no difference either. It’s as if the packs are empty of fuel or they need a jump like a car might need when the battery is dead. So I figured it must require something else before it can be used, but I have yet to find any additional info on the command which leaves me to watch everyone else flying around me! What gives?
Could you post a video showing what this looks like?
There’s nothing to see! Like I said, I feel a slight bump when I hit the command but my guy doesn’t mover at all! Then if I try again within a few seconds, I don’t even feel the bump. It usually takes me about 6 -8 seconds NOT clicking the button before I’ll ever feel even the bump again! This makes it seem as if thrusters only work based on a use timer and/or fuel consumption basis, but I haven’t been able to find any info on it!
it takes a bit to recharge your thrusters. and to the problem the thrusters don’t go very far. you must be overestimating them.
Overestimating? I cannot even get off the ground! And I watch others around me hanging out 4 body lengths above me! Are you sure there’s no option that needs to be set somewhere other than making sure one of the controller’s buttons is linked to that command? The lack of this makes it impossible for me to use a ground pound or even scale heights just above those one can scale via a jump and clamber combo!
the thrust pushes you forward not up. if you jump an then look down your sight (default left trigger) you will hover for a limited time. I have an elite controller so i have the thrust on my pales on the back of my controller. I will press the paddle and the jump button at the same time which will thrust forward and go up (jumping) simultaneously. This is probably what you saw. the trust pushes you forward/backwards/to the sides a few feet depending on which way your moving. This is not the halo reach jetpack that will let you fly. It is designed to quickly change directions to juke players out, avoid fire, move faster, ect. I might be totally overlooking an issue that you might seriously have but i don’t believe so the way you are describing it. If you could post a video like some above said it would help.
more on watching players hang over you. if you jump off of a cliff and zoom your scope u will hover. if you jump off a cliff and hold mele, you will start a ground pound which will also let you hover for a limited time.
Methinks you may have just solved my problem! I was expecting the thrusters to pick me up straight overhead where I could hover till I run out of fuel! And I would now guess that I can get higher than just my own height by clicking the A or jump/clamber command as soon as I’ve gone up the default height A provides, right?
as soon as ur in the air zoom into your scope your thrusters will activate making you hover. you cannot move in this state and when you zoom out you will fall. that is all they do but a drastic addition to the gameplay none the less. Fool around with the mechanics in a custom game maybe thats what i did as soon as I got the game.
Thanx guys!
