I think jetpacks would be cool for multiplayer you could fly up high and snipe from them it would be like a vehicle only you can use your own weapons.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

well the Elites have jet packs, And the humans have "thruster packs" But I dont know If they would be implemented into the game. And the Aliens in the "making of halo 3 trailer" video they had new jetpacks, or what looked like jetpacks...so I dont know..would be cool though.

Everyone overturned that idea pretty quick the last time it was brought up.

Are the thruster packs that MC has strong enough to lift him off the ground against gravity? I'm guessing the the thruster packs and Elite jet packs are only effective in space, with that, we will probably only see them if there is a zero g multiplayer level.

the Elite Jet pack uses the same thing as a banshee engine im guessing, because in the 2nd laster Master chief level, there are Ranger Elites with Jetpacks inside, and flying around,

it would need some work but it is pretty balanced for example if you went up high to snipe from them you would be an easy target up there for sniping as well because there is no cover in the air

The word "unbalanced" is three syllables.

Sounds pretty balanced to me. The higher you go, you can see more, but less effective you will be and you can be seen easier.

What about In Cairo Station, when you went outside there was just a bit of gravity?

this isn't duke nukem people. keep cheif grounded. people get pissed off when their opponents super jump to out of reach places and start sniping, why would you want a jet pack that allows the same thing without having to cheat???

Singleplayer: Yes
Multiplayer: No, but only as an option like the sentinel gun.

Jetpacks would be fun at first, but they would just be annoying in the long run.

I think it would be a good idea. It would be one of those things that is only in customs, cuz i couldn't take a MM game seriously if i see people flying around. It's one of those things that you just do everynow and then to have some fun. I think it would be cool to use in juggernaut games. "Hide and Seek" would be very interesting to play with jetpacks.

It would be a good idea, but make it so it doesn't last forever, maybe a fuel bar?

I think that jetpacks would be a huge dissadvantage for the person operating the thing, they would be a huge target, I dont think you would be able to operate it, even if a skilled person operated the jetpack, there are alot of good snipers out there!!! More to be said but that covers some of it.

Instead of a jet pack why not a jump pack. To people who do not know what this is, it is a pack that gives short upward thrusts to help jump 2x as high, maybe higher.
