Ever wanted to fly without a vehicle? I sure as hell do. I think that if they added a Jet-Pack (limited use, strategically placed), it would add for some serious fights. It could work like this.
Aim in the direction you want to go. If you want to go straight, go right ahead. Give it 3 or so second "max flight" with an overheat feature, much like the way plasma weapons currently work. Think of the possibilities though. Having trouble because of the hill? Fly up and see the surroundings, if you are good enough, snipe something while you do. Being chased? Fly to cover and unload, or fly over the unsuspecting enemy, landing behind him to blastify him. Probably won't happen, but I think it would add some flavor.

hey that would be neat, and in multiplayer you could shoot the jetpack, causing it to make a big mid-air explosion. that'd be fun.

Hmm, buttons. I say equip with the directional pad and replace the Jump button (A) as Jet Pack, and it remains until you toggle it off or the Jet Pack runs out of juice, therefore defaulting back to normal jump.

EDIT: The "exploding upon being shot" idea is brilliant. Fixed Typo on Jump Button.

Its nice to see others like my ideas :)

I think they should add a Radar-Jammer too that you can control, but only use for so long. Give it a 2-minutes total of radar jamming, and much like Over-Shields, you can only pick up another once one is gone. Make sneakiness and radars co-exist in a blissful world of bashing your friends in the back of head without being noticed. This would also be great for CTF, amongst so many other things.
