Halo Reach Multiplayer and JETPACKS

Thoughts? It's nothing new, considering Tribes has done jetpacks. I'm wondering how often they'll be deployed in Halo multiplayer. There was a scene where a whole team had jetpacks.

Not too sure how I feel about it. It seems like it's only going to add to the excessive mayhem.

well im sure the beta will test if the jet packs totally bollocks up the halo magic.

I hope that Halo: Reach has limit numbers of players can using jetpacks at once. It's would be annoy to see people keep spamming with jetpacks like bunch of birds.

I don't see how it will be much different than the grav jumps on Valhalla

Well Jet Packs work really well in Warhawk so if Halo copys how Warhawk have done it then it should be fine!

Can we stop with jetpacks are nothing new. So no shooter game can use guns in the last 15 years because Wolfenstein used them first with the way the TC thinks since guns are nothing new.

The 1st shooter I ever played with a jet pack was Hero on the Atari 2600. It was actually a Heli pack. That was 1 of the best games for the 2600 vcs. Hopefully its implemented well in Halo Reach.

Jetpacks are just one of many parts of equipment. Other ppl may prefer invisibility and others. Im pretty sure all equipment parts will be pretty balanced, gameplay wise

Coincidentally Crackdown 2 also added jet-packs - I'm thinking I'll like it in both games. :P

Who are all these noobs that think Tribes invented FPS jetpacks?

Every heard of "The Duke"? If not.... "COME GET SOME"

Yes, duke had a jetpack...

But Tribes put a team of up to 64 players (Starsiege Tribes had support for up to 128 players !!!) with jetpacks, on a map with 2 bases and 2 flags... And mayhem ensued.

seriusly, Tribes was some of the best MP i have ever played :D

But Halo: Reach seems to just want to copy tribes with some parts. You have packs (as far as i understand, you have fixed upgrades like Tribes's backpacks), jetpacks and Halo and Tribes both take its gameplay from the classic FPS's (Quake, UT) so in the end Halo: Reach will probably have a very Tribes like gameplay with jetpacks.

12 years later and Halo is going to be praised for "inventing jetpacks." Quote me on it.

Pretty much.

oh man jetpacks are so money i hope if i preorder it at gamestop i get a free promotional jetpack i can take to work

I think it could be a laugh playing with them, not sure how I'm going to feel when enemies start flying over me, I hate it when enemies jump over my head and assassinate me :cry:

What does the number of players have to do with people claiming Halo is ripping off Tribesbecause it has Jetpacks?

Oh right.... nothing.

If thats the game haters wanna play.... then Tribes ripped off Duke 3D, because it/s haz jetspaks ToO!OMGZORZ!11!!

I said it has jetpacks & upgrade packs like tribes. Plus the gameplay in general of both games feals like Quake. So i said they are simelar...

If it's anything like the Jet pack / heli pack you receive in the Ratchet & Clank series, Idon't think it'll be prone to balancing issues. Just add some restrictions and you're good to go.

so halo reach is a prequel to the halo trilogy right? Why does this game have invisibilty and jetpacks if they arent present in the trilogy that takes place after? hopefully they explain the reason for that

itis in the halo trilogy but im assuming oyu mean the multiplayer? the only one it wasnt present in is halo: ce. anyways reach was destroyed with no traces of anything left on the planet (except glass of course). Halo: CE can essentially be a start from scratch especially since theres only one spartan in it...

Jetpacks are Equipment. What does that mean?

How Equipment is being done in Reach is that you first have to acquire it. Then you can use it for the short time before it has to recharge. So what does that mean?

Don't expect people to be flying around on their Jetpack the entire match.

Here you go, pretty cut and dry.

The equipment in this reminds me more of the backpacks in Red Faction Guerilla than anything else.bobbetybob

actually it seems like a lot less equipment than the backpacks in Red Faction Guerrilla (unless they happen to add a vision, and thrust pack, I'll let them slide on several of the destruction packs). That reminds me that this game is totally underrated.

Um If there is anything you should know about Halo going in the air against a sniper is a not a good idea. I know I am not going to use except during objective game types.too_much_eslim

i think you might start off with themEmperorZeruel

It has already been said, they are quipment and will probally have a cooldown after each use like all the other equipemnt.

Looks tasty. Does anyone know if I buy ODST can I still get the Beta?

Who cares if jetpacks are nothing new. What shooter on the ps3 has done something new? Yeah that's what I thought. Jetpacks in a Halo game automatically makes it better than all the shooters.peanutbudduh

ummm.... not sure if serious....but yeah, Warhawk...yes Warhawk that was on the PS3 had JetPacks...and they were implement pretty well....if Bungie does something similar with Reach, I think Halo fans won't have anything to worry about.

Nice. I will be picking up ODST tomorrow.

Well I enjoy "excessive mayhem," so I'm not disappointed with this news.

From what i saw in the vidoc, all i can say is...
