seriously how could anyone think that flying around with a jetpack is a bad thing? to me saying Halo4 shouldn't have the jetpack is like saying females shouldn't have tits. Don't even talk about the fact that it's just a "thruster pack" thing now because none of us know how high that thing will be able to go... tell me why the hell you wouldn't want any form of jetpack in Halo4 because I just can't understand why anyone could think that.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

It is a thruster you idiot. What do you not understand about a full jet pack in zero-g? A light tap in space sends you flying, imagine a jet pack..... Retard.

It's just a little thruster thing built into Chief's suit. A Jet Pack is bigger. I never heard anyone saying they didn't want it to return? I do, but it should only be used on land. The thruster in the trailer is not a Jet Pack, it's just to control his movement in zero-g.

Thruster confusion aside, I wouldn't hate the jetpack's return. I'm just salty because I've been playing Halo for ten years and I just found out that the chief had thrusters strapped to his back the whole time?! I'm not mad that they're in the game(supposedly), I'm mad because 343i just decided "oh guess what, MC just miraculously sprouts thrusters that he could have used on Cairo station."

Every time the chief and all the other spartans did EVA ops, they put on external thruster packs. None of the Mjolnir power armor variants had built-in thrusters... even the Mk VI.

that trailer wasn't a cutscene... it's not like MC will wake up fully equipped with all that new -blam!-, they'll explain everything

I know, that's what the "supposedly" was for.

I have a feeling this is further in the future than we think. We all know how smart Cortana is, maybe she created a new suit for MC? Or she just added thrusters. You haven't noticed that the backs of MC's armor was bigger than ones like Noble Team's? Maybe it was like that for a reason.

It's like that because the Chief is wearing mkVI and Noble had mkV

u realise a "thruster pack" IS a jet pack right? its just less powerfull. and do u also realise that both a thruster back and a jet pack would send you infinitley flying through space? zero-g?

Sigh, you don't get it, I'm going by his termonology. A "Jet pack" would have WAY too much power in space, there would be no way to control yourself. I just came off a little too harsh. And to the OP, that thruster pack in NO WAY, SHAPE, or FORM could lift master chief off the ground, he ways half a ton.

its probably only there for use in zero-g. that is why he never used it in halo 3 or 2. because it could not lift him otherwise. just my thoughts.

I dont want to see any aa's in Halo 4 i wouldn't mind seeing some new equipment though.

^^^ obviously the books don't mean -blam!-. anyway who cares if it's a jet or thruster pack. the point of the thread was to see why people wouldn't want to be able to fly in Halo4

Then you've completely missed the point why people were/are complaining about thrusters in the first place. It's not an issue of gameplay, it's an issue of maintaining the integrity of canon.

Now of course, the trailer is a teaser, and as such hardly represents the final product or canon for that matter so people's complaints are unfounded at the moment as there is no proper context provided. Still, just so you realize, OP... in this forum, it's not a matter of gameplay discussion and reasoning, it's a matter of story consistency reasoning. In this forum people do care what the difference is between a jet pack and a thruster pack because in this forum story mechanic discussion is what reigns over discussions about the merits of something gameplay related for the sake of gameplay rather than tying it in for something canon related.

You want to go talk about people wanting or not wanting jetpacks for gameplay reasoning, go post on either The Flood or the appropriate spot in the Waypoint forums.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

-It's NOT a JetPack

-Armor Abilities are one of the worst things that came to Halo.

Yeah, because everybody likes being splattered over and over again and to have the only camo in the map taken by some bad teammate, or not be able to reach a certain place because it's too high, or having a shield that heals you up and protects you in case you are getting severely gunned (dropshield not armor lock) or being able to escape an attack by running away.

shut up you little slut, jk. you don't know wtf that thruster pack is capable of


This made me lol pretty hard.

I thought I was the only one with sleep issues.

It worked out fine in Halo 3...

Being splattered over and over again? Then you have to get better. In Halo 3, I got splattered sometimes, but I usually took out vehicles pretty easily. Just give me a pair of stickies or Rockets/Laser. Camo taken by a bad teammate? Okay, then play with your friends. Or wait for it to respawn. If you're a good player, you don't really need camo anyway. Drop Shield is the same as Bubble Shield except with Regen. (The Bubble Shield get you to regenerate your health anyway, just by being away from combat.) Also, I never use JetPack and can get pretty much anywhere on the map. Maybe not as fast, but still. And run away when under attack? Well, then don't run out into combat and take a different approach. Do you realize that everything you just posted explains why Halo: Reach is waaay more n00b friendly now and doesn't take as much skill as it used to like in Halo 3/2. Why do you think a lot of people, including myself, thought that Bungie's "swan song" was catered to the casuals?

Imagine a triangle. It's perfect, but a little plain. You take a chisel, and carve a small decorative symbol into it to make it a little more interesting. People like it, but it could use a little more.

So you then take a sledgehammer..
