Should this game have had jetpacks?

Yes, I actually like the jetpacks. I use it like all the time in matches.

Fuck no. Jetpacks paired with cryo ammo. You'll be unstoppable.

I do think they needed to change it a bit from ME3 so Jetpacks and a genuine z axis is a good idea. Perhaps they needed to be limited in some way such as having a certain amount of fuel that needs to recharge. Before the game was released I was wondering whether there would be a cooldown on it. Then you could also add diversity by giving certain kits better jetpack options just as different kits in ME3 had different dodges.

Jet packs are for lazy devs that don't want to make maps that have decent flow. Also, having jet packs allow the player to jump out of areas that the devs didn't get the map quite right and caused "sticky" spots. And finally, mario jump puzzles are stupid and irritating in a mass effect game. That being said, I don't mind them so much. I wish they weren't clunky (like, jump off 3rd story and dodge, still haven't hit the ground in the time you would normally be able to dodge again but you can't until you hit the ground. Why?). I would really prefer only some characters have them and others have the combat rolls and dashes of ME3 but that would have required more effort on the devs part and, who does that anymore?

Jetpacks are fine, they just need to remember to design the game with them in mind instead of slapping them on halfway through development.

I like the way WH40K: Space Marine implemented them - you had energy for 2 "fully powered" jumps, and then had a short cooldown period while you had very crappy jumps available. In fact, I feel like Andromeda Devs could have benefited tremendously from playing that game before putting jetpacks into this one overall, because that game got them near freaking perfect.

Also, WTB a targeting reticle that allows you to aim groundpound instead of this weird ass platforming style groundpound.

Yes, if they fucking worked for climbing onto shit off host. As for balance, they could do some shit to tone it down.

I like em, and prefer the mobility here over ME3, but at the expense of a balanced game? Fuck no.

If it meant using firepower to fuel them then no.

No! I fucking HATE the jet packs!! Make them go away! Please!!!

Unfortunately that's the only little thing making MEA a bit different from ME3, and I can't stand ME3 anymore

It would've been a good idea as a bonus stuff for some of the characters with bigger internal cooldown a a good hover system which let us feel on control instead of lolslide

It's really bad when it is literaly the best way to move in any circumstance and when you are not jetting you should be jump jetting to move as that's ironically the only mobility option that doesn't stop your reload LMAO

Yes... but the game is kinda made around to using them, I think that's very obvious and they don't even work properly, it's like they only have half juice in them sometimes, it's really frustrating, I just liked it better without.
