I've never been able to make the jet pack feel worth bringing in over other strategems. The only time I've ever used it has been to save me a few seconds of walking around a small cliff. I'd love to see how someone skilled at it uses it in combat.
Yeah, I love jetpacks in these kinds of games (former Tribes player) but the duration and cooldown of the one in HD2 is pretty bad.
It's really good when you use it for a bit. The cooldown seems ling and it appears pretty weak, and it's not really made to be fast, except when you go downhill. The trick is more when to use it. I use it to reinforce, reload and get away from bile titans or hunters. It's very handy to get on rocks to get a breather. It helps to do objectives, abd on maps with a chasm it's s+ tier. Honestly if it were any better it would be way overpowered. You can already outrun almost everything, and the jetpack gives you that extra boost. I use it combined with light armor and the 30% reduced visibility perk, so it's really easy to just disappear. I only really fie to teammates with that loadout.
combine it with a sniper rife to get onto the top of some of the high space, also good for using to get a good jump away when your running while swarmed
