They better put jet packs in Resistance 3! Nothing better than skeet-shooting Chimera!

Face it who wouldn't like to fly around the crusades/renaissance in a mother-f*cking jetpack? Flying around, assassinating people.

Am I allowed to nominate every single game ever?

Not enough games use them correctly, you should be able to shoot over vast distances at high speeds, not just jump abnormally high without any kind of horizontal speed increase!
Very few games get this, mostly just Tribes.
Also, they need to make a sandbox game based around having a jetpack, and various upgrades etc. that can be bought.

If it fits the story and it helps the gameplay. Sci-Fi Sandbox? Add it!

And get rid of poor Agro and the climbing feature? WTF man, then the game'd be over in minutes...

I didn't find the jetpack in Reach to be particularly beneficial or fun to use. Yay I can go up in the air slowly and become an incredibly obvious and vulnerable target!

Jetpacks should be in exploration games in wich a jetpack would seem natural.

Sorry if someone has already quoted you and made my point,but I find the Jetpack in reach isn't for flying,so much as jumping over large distances and giving the enemy a face full of what your packing.I find that with strategy is very fun and quite good and taking enemies otu when they're a great distance from you.

Sounds like someone's never actually played a match of Gears.

Shotgun rolling on the ground anyone?

Sounds like someone loves Gears but has no idea why it's good.
It's intended (and pulls of) being a cover based game. Mobility is important in that you need to advance to the next piece of cover. Adding a jetpack into that mix would either make the jetpack a useless gimmick, or turn the game into a totally different game, more like Halo or something.

Gears already IS halo, but in third person, and instead of jumping you roll around on the ground.

Seriously, go play a match in gears of war right now. The primary tactic on online play is to run up to your opponent and blast them in the face with the shotgun. It's not to use cover and tactically move around the map, flanking your opponent's cover as a team, it's run in rambo with a shotgun.

What you're describing is how Gears was intended to be played, but not how it is. The only time you ever see someone actually use cover is if they have the sniper rifle.

you are both talking about the same game except one person is refering to the campaign and one person is refering to the online multiplayer

Silent Hill would certainly use some Jetpacks and Space Marines.

Tetris.
