Details:
Jump jets are basically booster jets in the bottom of the Master chief's boots.
Jump jets would allow for players to make their Spartan do a double jump in mid air.
Heres how it could work, press jump once, then once in the air press jump again, which would activate the jump jets causing you to double jump.

The way it could recharge is basically like your shields, it takes about 5-8 seconds or so for your shields to recharge so that sounds about right for jump jets.

So sorry if this is been said before but what do you think?

He's not Iron Man, he's a cyborg with a gun. It just seems like a cheap mod. Besides he jumped much better in 2 compared to CE, and they shouldn't get to crazy with his running speed or jumping. I like some form of realism in the Chief, even if it's just a little.

It reminds me of the Dark Trooper in Star Wars Battlefront, but no, that would suck as much as playing against a modder that jumps 100 feet high. Really, it would ruin the gameplay, imagine you attack someone and then he knows he will die so he starts flying really fast and you lose him. It would be SO frustrating.

No, you got me all wrong. It is not a jet pack, it is a booster in the bottom of your boots, that gives you an extra 5 feet or so of distance in the air, like I said a "double jump".

It isn't a consistant flying through the air type of deal, it is a short burst of height , not you hold it down and you can fly as long as you want.

You know, that's a great idea. Why don't we teach all our soldiers to jump around in battle to avoid getting sniped.

I'm going to go call my Senator right now!

What a wonderful idea!!!

sounds like metroid to me. Sorry, but no good. i dont think it would fit into a game like halo. maybe multiplayer. Definitaly a jetpack though not boot boosters.

okay okay, fine before the flame war starts, I agree maybe Halo players just aren't ready for a double jump feature, guess I was wrong on this one. I'll let this one die now. Thanks..... thanks for killing my dream :(.

Jump Jets don't seem very Halo-ish, more of Star Wars... He jumps high enough already, doesn't he? Why would he need to jump higher anyways, he already jumps as high as 3 meters...

You know what we need? Chief basketball. He would dunk all over all those "good" wannabes. And if he fouled someone...let's just say that person wouldn't ever play basketball again.

I shouldn't have been so snarky cynical. I just feel that more practical things should be implemented before the fantastical.

For example, instead of double jumping for extra height.... a grapple launcher that would give you the ability to scale walls, or rapple down from great heights. If used properly you could probably even swingline into an enemy base when they least expect it.

It would be difficult to code, unlike the "jump boot" idea, but far more realistic and satisfying.

No. Maybe a jet-pack vehicle (similar to Perfect Dark Zero), but not jump jets.

I believe that halo 3 phisics shud be just the same as halo 1... i just played H1 at a lan party the other nite and after that i relized how muc better it is. my clan just got sponsored and i am heading in the right direction right now in h2, towads becoming pro. but believe it or not i contemplated on buying a new com and dling XBC (for all u nubs out there this is a program that allows u to play ppl online but thro ur com sorta like XBL) and playin H1 on that till H3 came out. but the ppl in my clan talked me out of it. they really screwed up on h2: they tried to make a perfect game(H1) better wich cant be done. H1 was a mistake and wasnt supposed to be this awsome perfect first person shooter game... they expected it to be ok and do well in rating but when they started sellin out 6 months after it came out b/c ppl relized how amazing of a game it was they had a heart attack. so long story shot (lol) i dont think there shud be rocket boasters and that H3 shud hav the same phisics as H1.

thank you for reading.

Too big of a change, they can't change something like that, and you have to remember, unless there was a significant in-game time lapse from H2-H3 he couldn't have gotten a new suit.
