since reach, every halo game has had a jet pack. Why not halo 5?
Only 2 games had jetpacks… They only put what was a necessity. I personally think armor abilities should return in Halo 6 warzone. And what would be interesting is like 2 types of slayer modes, one is just only thrusters equal starts and the other is more of a casual one with armor ability choice but everyone still have equal weapon starts. There should also be a gamemode where the only ability you have is sprint. No ground pound, thrusters, slide, stabalizers, or spartan charge.
Or maybe just disposable equipment… hmm
Didn’t care for jet packs. so glad they are not back.
Because there are now thruster packs, and also clamber to get to high places.
Short answer:
nobody liked them
Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooobody liked them
Actually since Reach, only one Halo game has had jetpacks, and that was Halo 4. Halo 5 doesn’t have any armor abilities, that’s why there’s no jetpacks in Halo 5.
It would be nice to see jet packs return as some sort of vehicle. Custom games with jetpacks was pretty fun. The rest of the armor abilities can rot.

You mean with its own weapon attached to it instead of using the regular guns? Like this?

How did I know that clip was coming. It would be neat to see it return somewhat like that. There could be “scout” variants without any guns that could be used for custom games, and you can get weaponized variants for WZ.
Next to sprint, I would say it was the most hated AA in the game, erm… Armor lock, then jet pack, then sprint…
I think the thruster ability is more useful than the jet pack. In H5 you would have no real advantage using a jet pack.
Jetpack broke the maps by allowing people to just fly anywhere and have a height advantage.
EVERY? After reach there was only 1 main game with jetpacks, halo 4. And no, it should not have jetpacks.
Q. Why are armour abilities not in halo 5
A. Because they were a terrible idea in the first place
Halo Reach jet packs: “Hey, lets design a map thats kinda like a spire with a stair case here that leads up to the rocket launcher, it will be a choke point but reward the player with a power…oh he’s just flying up there completely bypassing the map design from the other side of the wall so I can’t shoot him. Well…crap.”
Halo Reach jetpacks in a nutshell.
Fun fact, jetpack was the only ability that did not break the Golden Triangle.
They presented horrible gameplay…
They ruined maps.

This. Completely broke maps by circumventing map flow and control and choke points. It is easily one of my least favorite things a Halo game has done.
Because they wanted to make a Halo multiplayer that didn’t suck.
