chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

worst idea ever

ruins map control and the height advantage, rockets are the best in their hands and the worst against them

Lifts and engineering use in real life is excellent use of vertical mobility. In reach however, it depends on the map. Really the standard AA selection should have been tailored for each map. Instead it remained the same for all maps and a lot of irritation ensued in the lives of gamers.

That's kinda creepy because my name is Erik too but I'm not Darkside.

Could you elaborate? Is it harder to headshot jetpackers? Do they abuse softkill zones? What is it?

Jetpack breaks all maps.

It is honestly the dumbest and most game breaking mechanic ever in a Halo game.

How Bungie thought it could work is beyond me.

Don't even try, "it's the maps fault", Eric.

Brutes aren't monkeys, Brutes are gorillas. Humans are monkeys, and Spartans are Orangutans.

One of the few real good things about Reach.

Sprint, evade and jetpack are the most resonable loadouts.

Every loadout should have been a pickup of course. But they work as is too. :)

Do you people have to complain about everything? Jetpack sure is useful if you have a rocket, but well, if you've got a rocket you're probably going to kill your opponent anyway. And if you don't, you're such an easy target is useless in combat.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

It works TOO well. Red spawn on Reflection, grab Rockets and Jetpack up to Sniper tower and get a Triple Kill. The Cage (already a -blam!- map) is even further broken by being able to avoid all the narrow paths and fly over everything. Enclosed, grab Rockets, take the lift, jetpack up and get a Triple Kill. Among others.

-blam!- jetpack

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

The jetpack is a terrible idea. It completely ruins map layout.
