<div class="IPBDescription">thruster breaks off</div>After being attacked a certain number of times, and/or if the marine's health gets below 25%, there could be a small (1 in 10) chance that the next attack would cause one of the thrusters to break off. The marine would still be able to use the jetpack, but it would cause him to go spinning around uncontrollably.

    Yes, but only if they add a "BLAAARGH!!!" sound when you start spinning.

    The jetpack shouldn't break but when the pilot dies whiles flying, the jetpack should make the body fly around like crazy until empty.

    But in these cases of sci-fi stuff the nanites would probably just shut the machine down.

    if the user dies the jetpack should explode.

    Hilarious, I agree.

    At the point it breaks off, the marine is almost dead anyways. Skulks hearing the thruster go flying off (with a telltale sound) would know to go in for the kill. However, if this was too much of a disadvantage, the jetpack could be changed to be repairable. Heck, maybe they could even get away by flailing around wildly with only one thruster.

    Lets not forget about something equivalent for the alien team, like shoot off the fades legs and it can't blink (can only try to crawl away)... shoot off just one leg and he can only blink in circles. Now that would be hilarious.

    Pretty much nailed it, but random is rarely good unless you play into large numbers. Would make those 10hp getaways randomly turn into no more clutch yet you somehow can heal back to full with 2 medpack drops.

    i like this idea.

    if the pilot dies in mid flight the JP should continue to thrust until it hits a surface and then explode. it would definitely be fun to watch...

    They made it clear in a video, that they don't want two items with similar functions... maybe take out the flame thrower, and make the jetpack an impromptu flamethrower?

    At least that's the only way I think it'd get done.
