Everybody stop getting you panties in a wod. It is not a jetpack, it is zero gravity thrusters used in space operations. These are built into the armor, they've been there, but there hasn't been any use for them until now. If you don't believe me, read the books. Specifically when James dies.
They havent always been there, and there has been a use for them (Halo 2). James was wearing a t-pack harness that was punctured, and it was also never confirmed that he was KIA.
I'm not sure why people think saying "It wasn't a jetpack, it was a anti-grav thruster" tidies up this issue.
I personally will just wait until more info comes out, right now its all good.
they've always been apart of the mark 6, not the mark 5.
Whether or not it's a new feature in Halo 4 is one thing. However, there is nothing in currently established canon to even suggest that internal thrusters have "always" been implemented. The slightest bit of it came with Halsey's Journal and even then is a vague reference to EVA tech with no confirmation about whether or not they've been implemented
