In Response To: Re: Some thoughts. (General Vagueness) : It isn't, that's the problem. It's another thing to keep track of and account : for. It's one thing. ONE THING. I guess I give the average player more credit than you do. : I wasn't suggesting some thing like that. Also if there's only one thing that
Your argument assumes that I would make Jetpack a spawn option. Rather, I would treat it like a power weapon. One, maybe two on a map, no more. Just having Jetpack is not a dominating factor because it means you're sacrificing something else. You may be able to fly, but players with Sprint/Evade can still outrun you. It's the same way that a Rocket Launcher can 1sk, but has limited ammo and is probably less versatile than what you traded it for. : * unless you make it so you can use one until it gives out, drop it, pick up
I considered giving the Jetpack a fuel gauge as a way of balancing it, but that comes with a host of its own problems. A limited resource leads to Hoarding Syndrome: "I won't waste X now because I might need it later." That dissuades experimentation and exploration. It's also very likely that you might run out of fuel and strand yourself in an even worse situation. Forcing a player to revert to a checkpoint breaks immersion. A fuel gauge also means the player would be juggling Jetpacks as he finds them, to stay 'topped up', which is even more distracting.
