I wonder why "using your jetpack to hover while shooting" is touted as a cool feature, when doing so is just asking to get shot by everything on the entire map. It's the antithesis of taking cover!

It's the antithesis of taking cover! lol, yeah if we have anything like geth primes, atlas rockets, ravagers... well pretty much any ranged AI crackshot unit then it seems like a stupid tactic! xD On a serious note I imagine Jetpack->Charge is going to be a thing for vanguards. |

Maybe it's some kind of taunting move to make fun of your dumb enemies? I mean, they often just stand there and take fire even when cover is just a step away, and never seem to worry about getting flanked. Of course, against situationally aware enemies that hover tactic would be assisted suicide. |

On a serious note I imagine Jetpack->Charge is going to be a thing for vanguards. Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot of practical uses for hovering. I'm expecting the jetpack to be used mainly just for mobility and to assist with a few powers. Charge is the big one, but it could also be useful for lobbing grenades over walls or throwing around powers like singularity or something. I'm also expecting a fair bit of Cloak from behind a wall->Hover->Shoot->Drop back out of sight. Or a panic button to avoid grenades at the last second. |

Cloak, Jetpack with sniper rifle sounds like some fun. I wonder if your aim is affected while hovering. And yeah I'm expecting to see a numer of "oh ****" moments to result in panic Jetpack followed by the equivalent of some nasty ranged enemy's attack. xD |

I will make the jetpack work for longer than 5 seconds, & I'll shoot all that I see in the face.

I hope there is a way to get the cooldowns way way down. The faster the better. Independent cooldowns sound nice, but how often did classes really have 3 powers you cycled through consistently?
I also kinda hope that they didn't look at ways people "abused" game mechanics and "Fixed" those.
I also hope for way less reactionary balance updates over the life span.

Jump up, dodge a bit of fire, ops pack, get over a wall and into safety. Clearing some larger cover. Hiding behind a wall, hop up, nuke spawn. "OMG I'M SITTING ON A GRENADE" |

The jet pack sure does look fun but I'm wondering if it'll get annoying in the long run or not or perhaps I'll end up really liking it. I like that you you can make quick jumps when necessary, I can see it come in handy.
