-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.

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?
wtf... some of you take the game way too seriously and don't seem to play for fun at all. AAs were fun


You've clearly missed the point of this forum then.

Well seeing a jetpack would remind me of ghey armor abilities in reach. I want the basic gameplay from Halo 2 and 3 where I could go lone wolf and win the game.

Got crappy team in ctf? Flag juggle like a boss and out shoot the other team and win.

In reach it's crappy teammates ramming me and people who walk in pairs using armor lock. The only I can play is squad, swat, and classic.

Ps 343 said there gonna go back to the basics gameplay wise meaning original trilogy.

OP is retarded.

OT-It ruins map control and turns great maps into terrible ones (Ivory Tower in H2 into the now terrible Reflection in H:R)

whatever, you're just a nerd who cares too much about getting kills that don't mean -blam!-, it's a videogame and jetpacking is fun in a videogame

Discuss AAs in the Reach forum and leave people who actually care about the canon in peace. Thank you.

I'm sure people have different thoughts on the topic (I haven't really heard jetpack being singled out because it wasn't going to be apart of Halo4?). I can see both sides but either way I don't care what happens to jetpack or any of the armor abilities. They could keep it or take it out, doesn't matter to me personally. I don't play Halo simply to use any cool armor abilites or perks they may have added, it's interesting to see what they do to each new game, story and game-play wise. It's why I still play all the games, I enjoy them all for different reasons. It's also why I'm interested to see what they're doing with new additions.

not really... I know people care about canon and all that, so do I but as I've said before that trailer isn't the opening cutscene so the reasons why there is that new stuff will be explained... and they WON'T go back to CE and 2 style where there is no other features with only weapons

  • 06.13.2011 7:53 PM PDT

The thrusters were designed for stabilization and control when in low or zero G combat a jet pack is designed to increase mobility in what would be known as "normal' gravity. This is why MC never used them since he was involved in zero G combat. (in the games any way)

We still know nothing at all about the thrusters on the MCs back in the trailer. They could be zero-g thrusters, they could be a t-pack (somehow), they could be a bonifed jet pack. Either way there have been situations where any of those possible features would have been useful.

With that in mind they make no sense. At the moment anyway.

THAT MOST DEFINITELY IS THE BEGINNING CUTSCENE< NERD RAGE@@@!!!

Haha, but seriously, that has to be the opening cut scene, explain to me how the hell he could do something off of that ship and get back on and keep going, and how would he even get back to the ship , and why would he if he found foreunner tech?

I mean it's only like a representation of what the opening cutscene will be like, it won't be exactly the same. Just like how that Halo3 video with the portal opening up was different to what was in the real game... dipsht. So yeah he won't randomly have new armor when he wakes up and he won't dance through the corridors and grab a floating pistol...

Sorry but i have to unleash it, You just called me a dumbass? Haha, it clearly picks up right where the legendary ending left off, or maybe you weren't even good enough at halo 3 to see the legendary ending. I never said anything about the armour or "jet pack", i am talking about, this is the beginning of the game.

^^^ yea no sht it's going to be the beggining of the game but it won't be exactly like the trailer. The opening cutscene might be similar... hell maybe the first mission will be escaping the exploding ship. I think the heart/brain waking up sequence might be in the real game though but when he wakes up and gets out of bed it's not going to be like in that trailer. fact

nah i think you're just abit touched in the head to not understand me.
The trailer that just came out will not be a real cutscene in Halo4... it is just a video to give us an idea of what will happen and to see a couple of new features (thruster pack, grenade pistol)
your brain understand that?

It's Hazard Time

It adds nothing to the game, it breaks the balance and makes for bad maps and boring gameplay.
Jetpack added nothing in Reach, not even campaign, and should be removed or severely limited for the sake of gaming, casuals and CoD fanboys can feel free to love it :P

Where did i say it would be the 'cutscene'?

Are you that much of an idiot to not grasp it?
You said " WHy Da JETPacK Return, pealkieple!!!?
How many pointless, irrelevant, illogical threads have i seen like this? Way too many. I said This will be the beginning of halo 4, him floating towards the forerunner portal/shield world, is it that complicated?

THAT IS THE OPENING CUT SCENE, just not exactly, that same thing will happen minus the armour upgrades and the thumper pistol.

yeah I know...wtf have I been saying all this time?? the opening cutscene won't be exactly the same as that trailer but it will probably be similar and things will be explained more. People seem to think that the opening of Halo4 will be EXACTLY like the trailer so they're asking stupid questions about where MC got all this new -blam!-... everything will be explained properly in the real game.

  • 06.13.2011 9:19 PM PDT

If anyone wants to get together and play some Marathon Durandal on the xbox contact me and we can work something out.

Its true that its not a full blown jet-pack (don't know if jet-packs will be in the game but in the trailer its just a thruster meant for maneuvering in space. As for why people might not want jet-packs, for me its because Halo used to be alot more about strategy and teamwork (for me) i had more fun in every Halo game that wasn't Reach. To me AAs just killed what i knew as Halo (but then again I'm just someone whose been plying it sense the beginning so my opinion doesn't really matter) :P
