Halo Reach: How to Use Jetpacks
This is the second week into Teabag’s Reach tips. Sure, time flies, but let it be known, that doesn’t mean you should always be doing the same…
PACKING HEAT
How to use a Jetpack: Usually, JetPackers use their Armor Ability to get to hard-to-reach-places, fly like an eagle into the future and to get a height advantage on enemy faces/heads. The problem with this is that there’s no cover in the air. This is the first thing that people starting out with the jetpack while playing the Rocketeer theme in their head forget.
Be kind to your Jet Pack, pretend it’s real and that you paid $50,000 for it. Use it in bursts instead of of holding down LB until that “oh crap” moment hits. The only reasonable situation to use it all at once is if you’re flying straight into the air only to land on something once you reach the appropriate altitude. Never fly over enemy-controlled areas, because you are likely to get shot down; even if these mofos suck at Reach, you can bet your balls that they at least have played Duck Hunt at some point in their lives. And this time, that a-hole dog won’t be there to laugh at them if they miss.
When to use it:
Hijacking Banshees
Getting the drop on enemy opponents as well as getting easy headshots from above.
My favorite, hijack an enemy vehicle, drive it off the edge, and Jet Pack back to the map.
When NOT to use it:
Jet-Packing straight into the air….and then falling to your death. Like a tool.
Don’t try to be a hero, don’t confront a tank in the air… unless you’re INSANELY bored.
NOTE: Jet packs are GREAT for certain maps where the areas are small, but open to the skies. Choosing the right armor ability for the right maps can mean the difference between running around and getting shot at for ten minutes and actually coming out with a victory. Keep your eyes on the size and scopes of the map and try and see if the map has a lot of high structures to stand on. If it does, you might be able to have the upper hand over anyone who chose a land-locked ability.
Use these awesome “let’s see you have THIS, Call of Duty!” addition to the Halo multiplayer universe wisely. Don’t abuse it, even though they put the “fun” back in “function” and remember what you learned here. Now fly, Spartan, fly like a leaf on the wind… as we all watch how you *IMPALED*
