Subject: how can people NOT want the jetpack to return?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Op just made this thread to make Halo vets angry. Ignore this thread.

thruster- or jetpack. it doesn't matter. that thing was there (in the teaser) for a reason:
halo 4 will feature 3D gameplay, not by superjumping as in Crysis3, but by boosting around the maps.
and i'm gonna love it.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

anybody with a brain doesn't pick jetpack because they know it makes you the highlight of the battlefield.

The only reason i support it in the game becuase it is balanced and it is an easy kill. I still place it behind armor lock in terms of skill.

It's also useless if you use Bumper Jumper, like me.

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.

You seem to be more high on the "cool factor" that jet has instead of really thinking about why we don't want it.

We don't want it because it ruins map control. How is it fair for players to just ignore the environment you're using and the environment designers worked hard to make?

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.


I think AAs are a flawed idea

Also, jetpacks ruin the intended flow of maps

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Jetpack breaks every single map in the game beyond repair if somebody knows how to use it.

Besides, having players start off with different abilities isn't Halo, and was probably the biggest mistake Reach made.

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..

Because it's a terrible gameplay mechanic? Also, thruster=/=jetpack.
