I love that they picked a use case where everything would be more tactically sound, just using a light vehicle or even some loving dirt bikes. Like at least put the target building in an island or up a sheer rock face to show off a unique capability. I also like how once on target the objective was to lob one (1) device through an exterior door, call it mission accomplished, and leave. Because actually trying to CQB into the building would foul your idiot fucker rocketeer pack onto every doorway and piece of furniture like a fat turtle.

It can be on an island because the rocket packs have something like a 5 minutes flight time.

IDK, I think the funniest part is that while active the jetpacks make you: 1. easy to spot. 2. Easy to hear 3. Completely defenseless. You have to manually guide it with your hands so if anybody actually spots you while you're flying you have to land before you can draw a weapon and defend yourself.

GlassEye-Boy posted:It can be on an island because the rocket packs have something like a 5 minutes flight time. I was about to say this. We’ve had working jet packs of similar size for decades. Sean Connery used one in Thunderball (the same jet pack was later used at the first Super Bowl halftime show). And the problem (besides the noise, and the safety, and the…) was always the fact you can’t carry enough fuel to actually go anywhere. The Wright Brothers wouldn’t have had to build that big ole’ plane if the fuel weight to engine size equations allowed it.

jfc we already had a perfectly serviceable smg that was cheap, reliable, easy to manufacture and used a standard caliber round, but we literally destroyed the absolutely massive amount of them we had in stock in the early 2000s.

Is there some actual reason that jetpack doesn't just put the jets on a frame sticking out of each side of the pack? Not only would it allow you to computer control flight stabilization but you could control it with one hand or even your mouth or feet. I guess this is more intuitive.
