Alright, I know 85% of the human fleet was destroyed, but what about the Jetpacks? The DMR, and What happened to the 2 OTHER spartans on PoA?

"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

The DMR was replaced by the Battle Rifle. Jetpacks just weren't commonly used in any of the fights that the Chief was a part of.

Correction: The DMR was replaced by the BR in the Marine Corps. The Army would have been still using them after the Battle of the Ark (You can't completely phase out a weapon within 3-4 months).

DMR was being phased out by the BR. I think the jetpacks were supposed to be experimental tech that was destroyed on Reach.

By the "other 2 Spartans" do you mean James and Linda? James went MIA when an Elite shot his thruster pack with a Needler. And then Linda died when she was overwhelmed by Covenant forces as she and Chief were fighting their way off of Reach Station Gamma. She was then taken aboard the Autumn and placed in a Cryo pod to be revived later. Which happens in First Strike.
