I think it would make the assault quite useful to actually assault something, because they are (sort of) outclassed by commandos in close quarter and scouts in open spaces.
It would bring to an end the furry bunny with mass driver gameplay bs for good, while empowering nicely our beloved assault.

Ugg no!
I've been saying no to this idea for a long time now and I'll keep saying it.
You already have a tool for vertical movement (dropships) which have some nice built in limits. The size of a dropship prevents players from using it to wedge themselves into ceiling level sniper spots which are undercover, they a huge targets that are very vulnerable, and they encourage squad level tactical movement.
Personal jump packs (or jet packs if you prefer) do nothing to improve upon this equation. If anything they would become more obnoxious than the bunny hopping mass driver folks (is that even still happening? I've been away for a while and haven't noticed if people can still jump 50m vertically).
Now with more evil.

Jet Packs/Jump Packs? Not unless I can lock on to you with Swarms.
I used to be a Squad Lead like you, but then I took a Thale's to the knee.

Thank you guys. I am actually completely thinking the same thing. But stating the obvious will create a strong opposition reaction, or at least a think tank, and that is the goal. Because the current furry bunnies is, to me, a mere disguise for such an equipment.
On the other hand, that could really benefits tactical movements and attacks as well. But would completely hinder the use of dropships. And as we have no map (yet) making dropsuit deployment necessary and not replaceable with a runner with dropup links...

I was thinking about it.
- If you cannot control the jump once in effect
- If the only effect of this pack is to propulse you up and forward at a fixed high
You end up with a really efficient and narrow use of it. You can either use it to attack or retreat. That is it.
I could definitely see something like:
- X numbers of charge before the equipment enter in "recovery countdown"
- quality level of equipment would impact the number of charges (basic = 1/ advanced = 2/ proto = 3)
- the related skill, appart from unlocking the quality levels, would decrease the recovery countdown wait time.
I think we have something interesting here!

If there's a cool down, and you can't glide through the air shooting, like a flying monkey throwing poop. Then yes.
