Thruster Pack Differences from E3 - PAX.
The thruster pack, being one of the new armor abilities in Halo 4, has recently undergone changes.
Now this armor ability may not be your favorite (I don't even know how I feel about it) but it has gone through
some development since E3.
Not much information was given out about this new ability except we knew it was supposedly replacing
evade and that it gave you a boost in the direction of your choice.
But this video shows details on the original E3 thruster pack and the updated PAX version of this new ability.

The Changes are not drastic but, in my opinion, they seem to work better in the updated version.
The one thing I don't like is going out of 1st person just to use it. Seems pointless to me, but I have yet to use it.
Nobody has really been talking about the thruster pack so let me know what you think.

E3 Build
Player stays in first person
Can't float with it, you drop off platforms immediately
That means you also can't use it to jump across gaps
Leaves you vulnerable to enemy attacks for a short time
6 seconds recharge time
PAX Build
Player changes into third person while using it
Time you're left vulnerable is shorter
Able to use it in mid-air to jump a bit further
Able to sway to the side slightly while using the ability
Still a 6 second recharge time
Now, as always, let's hear your opinions
Do you like the changes they made?
Do you think thruster pack is balanced or OP?
Do you think the recharge time is too slow/too fast?
