AL, im not sure why everyone hates jetpacks so much, fair enough when they just jetpack straight up but any other time, i dont get why


Reflection. Red team grabs Rockets, jetpacks up to Sniper spawn, and has two power weapons and the high ground in ten seconds.

Kingdom (or any Forge World map really). Jetpackers go up to the rooftops, sit in the soft kill zone until their shields come back COMPLETELY safe from almost all damage from everyone without a jetpack, and then comes down with full shields, first shot AND the height advantage.

Only the retarded kids jetpack straight up into the air and get shot down immediately.

That's why Jetpack is hated.


me and my friend have no problem getting rockets from blue spawn on reflection

as for the kill zones, that is jut good use of a soft killzone, i run across the top of the bases on asylum to get away from danger

Jetpack abuse. You're part of the problem then.

Lolno. You never faced anyone decent that abuses jetpack. You also have hardly played the game. I know what I'm talking about. You don't.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Nothing more irritating in Reach than this.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

IF you dumbasses are going to complain about Jetpack, you might as well complain about the banshee in every other Halo.

Because did you people not specifically use the banshee to get to unreachable places in...Mombassa...or w/e the -blam!- it's called?

Scenario..you're playing an RPG. a compeititive RPG.
You have the basic skillsets to choose from Fighter, mage, thief, cleric.

Just so you are fully aware of my meaning:

AL = Fighter / Tank / Cleric
Jetpack = Mage
Invis = Thief

One team decides to go all clerics.
Your team went balanced.

You find out that your balanced team is unable to overcome the over-abundance of healing coming from the opposing team.

Do you -blam!- about the cleric class being in the game? or -blam!- at the -blam!- losers who abused it?

I mean, yeah...think about it. IF the jetpack is that effective, and they dedicated 2 people to jetpacking. You better dedicate someone on your team to jetpacking to match it. Otherwise you're just an idiot that has no clue on how to play and what the game is about, and are more concerned with trying to get people to play Halo the way YOU SEE IT!

Well I don't see halo in the same way you do.

Which is why bungie needed to make a -blam!- proper custom matchmaking service, so both of us can stfu.

I dont see whats wrong with the jetpack because it makes the hitbox bigger, and it compensates for the removal of grenade jumping

No it doesn't. Grenade jumps took practice and skill. Here you just push a button. You enjoy people hiding in places, the map designers didn't mean to? (like Boneyard) Or do you enjoy people flying over your cover to get a height advantage? There's only one armor ability that you HAVE to use the same to counter it. At this point I'd say nuke all armor abilities and increase jump height and movement.

So match them. If jetpack can effectively bypass cover and it's winning them the game because of it.

What kind of team of idiots refuses to match it, and instead cries about it here.

Jetpack trumps any and all skill in Halo. That's basically what you're saying.

Read that statement and realize how stupid you sound.


I'll use another example from another game.
BFBC2 - Heavy Metal
This map relies very heavily on tanks. In fact, it's impossible to win the game without the tanks.
So much so, that I alot of times have to forget about what I want to do, and become a tank driver because noone else is going to do it.

Now back to Halo.
Only it's not tanks, it's jetpacks.

Now, if I had the option to be able to play a version of Heavy Metal without tanks. that would be awesome.

But if you go into a game, and jetpack is available... and it's pretty much a key ability to winning the match. Why not use it? Then, if jetpack matches become to common, -blam!- at bungie for putting jetpack in every single option.

But don't ever -blam!- in a such a way that you suggest removing it entirely from the game.

I'm not going to address your inexperience with the game or the fact you didn't even play it for very long. Don't bother posting again.

Go hide then coward. Cause you have nothing to say to me.

I mean -blam!-, you have that many games under your belt, and you still haven't figured it out.

It only took me about 100 to realize what a p.o.s. this game was.

What's taking you so long?

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.


Posted by: MR E0S

Two questions for you:

One, why is EVERY SINGLE ONE of your posts always edited? Figure out what you want to say before you say it.

Two, did you seriously just claim that Halo: Reach and an RPG should play alike?

jerbles are cul

Jetpacks are super annoying. Armor Lock is dumb, but not as game-breaking in a competitive game

You're redeemed because of your pro pipe ratio. I'd rather be faster and jump higher by default. And or equipment you have to pick up. You're fine.
