You know what, I'll confront you. On the Internet, where everyone can see.
I say no, because what button is left over on the controller to activate it? Bungie was really pushing it when they introduced duel-wielding, and it's still pretty annoying even after you get used to it.

No jetpacks please.

  • 06.18.2006 10:32 AM PDT

maybe, Bungie has to make it feel right to fly though. Maybe they could come up with a certain button combo to make you fly realisticly

I don't know... maybe he got the idea playing Halo 2. You did play Halo 2 right? You did run around on the outside of the MAC cannon fighting off elites that were wearing... I don't know... jet packs?

Still, I admit it's not something I'd like to see the Chief using but there's precedence.

Getting to hard to reach places is fun, also it allows bungie to hide cool stuff which takes ages to find.

I can see how they would implement it...using it like another gun or just hitting "a" twice to jump when you have it equipped.....but I don't think its going to be included.

  • 06.18.2006 10:51 AM PDT

Halo's a hell of a drug.

I like the idea (voted yes), but Im not sure how well it can be pulled off controller wise.

No Elites in Halo 3: ODST = FAIL

Well if theres going to be any Low G space battles as there where in the books the Chief is going to need one to simply move around.

But as far as jet packs go i just want to see those Elites beefed up and made alot more difficult (Not just by making their weapons hurt more and shields last longer as Halo 2 over did with the silver elites, which was a tactical cop out) and transformed into the elite... errr elites that they are supposed to be.

how about this when you get close to it you press"X to enter jet pack" and when your in you pres like up on diagnol pad to go up left and right on diag pad to go left right etc.

I like Halo.

It would need to have extremely powerful lifting force, being that the MC weighs more than a ton.

i don't like the idea...but it could work. fly it like a banshee, with the R trigger for shooting. no nades or swords though...that could get rather cheap. and rockets should send you flying backward at least a little bit.

the idea for a jetpack have been on the forum since day one, that's what the rest of my post is about, even though it's not entirely clear, but it is now

yes I did play Halo 2 and I did run around on the MAC, and as far as I remember, space was the only place I met them, in the book Fall of Reach they were numerous, but they were only used in space, to get from their ship to another.

In multiplayer, no, it isn't space, also, easy target for snipers, they weren't that fast in Halo 2, in single player, maybe MC uses one in a covie jetpack in a cutscene.
