** No exaggeration there: in all ''Tribes'' games, the jetpack is an EXTREMELY integral piece of the gameplay. Someone in [[MightyGlacier juggernauth armor]] can only achieve any significant heigh gain by standing still while the same person in [[FragileSpeedster scout armor]] is nigh unstoppable on flag runs. And then we have the skiing ability of players which originally came by as a bug but is explained away in-game via micro-bursts from the jets...
** Though jetting arond too much will sooner or later attract an enemy heat-seeking missile. Another thing to watch for in multiplayer.

* Specially trained "Jump infantry" with jetpacks formed some of the least useless unarmored units in the original Battlemech game, though their mission was frankly suicidal: to fly in, swarm huge mechs and hope to plant explosive charges before you were swatted like the vermin that, to the mech pilot, you resembled. Armored infantry also had jetpacks, a similar attack and a higher survival rate, but both were nearly useless in any area with clear fields of fire.
** Certain battlemechs had jump capability themselves, allowing a "death from above" attack on other mechs which, in the original rules, allowed EVERY ENEMY MECH within range a free shot before your mech slammed into your target mech, hopefully mashing its head, and everyone fell down.
