Fishy Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Alright, so today I was playing some Halo 4 MM, when I got to thinking and looking through armor abilities. What's the good use of the Thruster Pack? I don't find it helpful or useful at all. The only thing I know it's good for is Flood. If I use it anywhere else and all it does it push me forward 2 meters. So I am wondering if you guys would make some posts about how to become good with the Thruster Pack as well as what are some things it's actually useful for. Please no trolling like "It's very useful in flood." Or you will be reported. Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Treason Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Well, I use it to get back to cover quick. It has saved my arse many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 My favorite AA! 1. While it doesn't go faster than forward sprint, it does go faster than you can from side to side and backwards. If you need to move those directions, it is the fastest way. 2. If you accidentally jump off a ledge, need quick course corrections, want to stop a man cannon launch, etc, it will do what you need it to to stay alive or land in the place you want to. 3. In customs with high speed settings and infinite AA use, it allows for super fast and long bursts of speed that can be used for any number of purposes. Especially with low gravity. Customs benefits from it since it can get you across the gap in Impact with a bunch of bursts. XD Many others but they are minor. So, if you want more specifics, just try youtube or something. There may be a member who knows more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Never really found a good use for these in MM/MP ... only for dodging hunters in SP. Mainly because the only things you can use the Thruster Pack for are more Environmental related ....... aka, Stopping Man cannon launch , falling off edge I prefer Offensive/Defensive AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Interestingly enough the Thruster Pack is far FAR more useful foing stuff that I don't think it was designed for. As an armor ability it is all right (nothing special) but if you can get good at all the trick jumps then it can be used to move about the map in a way similar to the Jetpack. Though I still find the Jetpack to be superior in this regard, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0mnIuNlMWk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE1yvuPwUHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-38 Boss Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 eh... I liked Evade better, you looked more BA when you combat roll out of harms way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 1. Dodge stuff in any direction. Whether it's a vehicle or explosive it will always dodge it 2. Jump gaps. You will be able to jump a little bit further and it will save you *** when you are about to fall in a death zone (quickly boost back) 3. Ninja, Keep an eye on your radar, if somebody is about to assasinate you jump up boost back, and bash him in the back (or assasinate him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Don't forget you can maneuver yourself out of the blast radius of grenades or just surprise your enemy. I was able to turn quite some 1on1's to my favor because you can suddenly use a unpredictable move while the enemy is shooting at you. It's just a shame that it takes too damn long to reload; even with AA efficiency it needs like 6 seconds of recharging time to become usable again so I think it may need a slight buff.

OMG Treason Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I used it 2 days ago to trick a ghost, I sat still so he would splatter me, thrustered backwards boarded, then killed him in the initial board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
