Hold it right there.
Hello. Name's Brian. Look, if you're looking for a flame war with me, just open up the Flood and write up some not-nice things about religion and I'll bring my nukes to the party.
If you want some other way to contact me, you can forget it.
If you're interested in some of my work, you can check my homepage out.

*Falls two feet off a platform*
*Immediately gets hit by a rocket for being "in the air"*
A Jetpack creates heat. Falling off a ledge does not.
Of course it creates heat - when anything moves at all, it lets off energy, hence, heat.
There are explosives that can actually track human body heat - but, let's leave those out of Halo, shall we?
However, when a Jetpack thrusts, it generates a comparatively large amount of heat, as visible smoke particles are created, and propulsion is engaged.
Think of it this way. A man being affected by the force of gravity, falling ten feet makes little heat when compared to a device that uses thrusters for locomotion, propelling and generating a force greater than gravity to not only lift itself but a 500-pound hunk of armor and meat to move upwards.
So Rocket Lawnchair locks on this moderate source of heat and BAM.
