Dust needs jetpacks! Give players a reasonable way to get up on roofs that are only DS accesible and take out their uplinks. This is the one game where jetpacks serve a solid balance factor |

Wait, why?
I remember threads in the past about this but I can't remember the issue, if there was one.
I would imagine that jetpacks are actually perfect in Dust since our dropsuits are sturdy and we're reckless with our clones' life expectancy.

Make more of the rooftops accessible by adding ladders and stairs, maybe even through the interiors. I'd bet you could even add some height to everybody else's game by putting a Console and NULL Cannon up there.
Too well thought out, I know. I spent like 6.89 seconds on that. Three times the amount put into any change CCP may make. Now, if I just had like half a week to code them into existing maps...

If the only use for a DS right now is getting places no other class can, that's a stupid role in the game. DS can get squads around the map super quick, provide great recon, and the good ones can actually fight. If most dropships ate just used to access places then recalled(which wouldn't be needed with jetpacks) then DS are already pointless and silly. |

Air support, something that every military needs (goes without saying). The idea of the dropship in this game has become so much of an air taxi, and that's not the role of the DS.

When maps get huge 5 years down the line (hopefully somewhere inside of 5x5-25x25 KM instead of the 1x1 we have now), you won't be saying that. As for getting up to those places, Dropships.

That's more of a gunship or a fighter/bomber's job.

Exactly. Ds shouldn't just be air taxi. And to be fair, they are more than that now. I've actually seen some solid DS pilots . But if DS are in a position where jetpacks make them obsolete then that's an issue by itself |

yes for jetpacks, but make them have a charge up time so that they can't be used to just jump away from situations instantly

The role of the DS is to quickly move a full squad of troops from A to B and provide some covering fire.
A jetpack allows one player verticals maneuverability.
Best PvE idea ever!

Jetpacks could be used in the equipment slot and would have high PG and mid CPU. The jetpack would have a charge time of about .75 sec with a -.5 sec charge time per level, and a 10m vertical jump with 1.5m increase per level.

Titanfall doesn't have jetpacks; they have jump packs, and is able to grab onto walls and stuff.

Jetpacks are cool, but what about jump modules? Think it would be cool to see scouts leaping over tall buildings in a single bound!
This is a signature.

1: You really are quoting a wikia post?
2: A actual jet pack allows you to hover. in Titanfall, you cannot hover, only jump higher. therefore, jump pack.

I'd rather them just make the tops of buildings with no ladder or staircase inaccessible so people can't camp up there with immunity. But jetpacks should be reserved for a certain suit like cov ops cloaks.
Give a jump pack useable by all.

No this game is about variety and choice.
I shouldn't be pigeon holed into only one option.
Remove it completely or add more ways to access the roofs. |
