I thought it was awesome when they announced that everyone would have sprint as a base ability. I thought it was even more awesome when they explained the slow down mechanic when being shot to prevent melee rushing and running from fights. But after reading the description of the thruster pack here:
it sounds exactly like how people used sprint in Reach; to either “close the gap between the user and the enemy” or to “find cover”.
Do you think that the Thruster Pack will become the most used AA and maybe prevent people from using other AA’s, sort of like how sprint did in Reach? Or will the other AA’s be balanced enough against it to prevent such usage? I know for me I’ll definitely be using the Thruster Pack at first, especially after seeing the part in the War Games video with that sick grenade stick-thrust backwards into an assassination-double kill move.
