Halo 4 Thruster Pack: Part of the Spartan or is it Seperate?

[Snortellini]

Hey guys, I was just thinking about making the Halo 4 thruster pack and I can't seem to remember if it was a part of the spartan or if it was separated from it. If it is separate, does a pepakura file exist?

I believe it is part of the halo 4 armor. I have not seen a separate file for a thruster pack but then again I am a noob.

I made the halo 4 back but the back "pods" were so bulky and difficult to resin. It only had a small access hole on the inside and I could not reach into the small areas for strengthening. I ended up scrapping it in place of the Halo 3 back with the Halo 4 front. Best of luck to you if you want to try.

The spartan thruster pack is integrated into the armor in the game, even though it's considered an add-on when creating your loadout. To my knowledge, there are no additional pieces visible when a loadout is selected, like in Reach. Therefore, there is no file for it.

i hate to say it, but the people above are in fact wrong, there is a different piece/attachment for all the armor abilities. it isn't much.
i only noticed that it was there when i was getting reference pics for my Recon torso, and there was this thing coming out of the back.
have a look in theatre/forge and you'll see it

Many thanks everyone, I'll check out theatre and try to see this piece. Then the process of trying to recreate this piece without a file will begin, this may not go well.

Care to post a few screen shots? I haven't noticed anything different, though I still haven't settled on what armor I like to use for multiplayer, so I haven't noticed any sort of add-on.

yea, it isn't too easy to spot.
here are 2 pics;

Yeah I barely noticed the thruster pack as well... I was expecting it to be bigger and have a bit more design.

OH I see it! It's those diagonal extensions coming out of the mid back area. It would of been easier to spot if the Spartan Model was in the same pose for better reference between the two, but it is possible.

I don't think I've seen any pepakura for the different armor abilities. I would think you'd have to make a whole new backpiece for each ability. Unless you can find a way to attach and detach them using strong magnets or clips. :/

 

[Carpathia]

Interesting, and subtle. Still, I'm sure I haven't seen files for these yet. But I don't imagine it will be long before someone steps up.

I was thinking about trying to have these things shoot out smoke, but considering the size of the thrusters, I think the only thing I can possibly do with them is add a bright light that I can activate.

Yea, the thruster pack is a bit less noticable/low profile (unless it's in use), and I would say it somewhat resembles a boomerang in overall shape. The AA modules are much less conspicuous than they were in Reach, with the exception of the jet pack, but they are all noticable if you have a sharp eye. What makes them the most difficult to spot is that you pretty much have to try and catch a glimpse on the fly unless you pore through matchmaking clips. Yet another time when giving us forge mode support in theatre would have been great, as we could simply line up all the available AAs on one map and just snap a screen shot, swap to the next AA, and repeat. I've only been able to really note the differences during slow-paced custom games and Spartan Ops playthroughs.

I like the idea with the lights but the smoke might be a problem. Usually with that stuff there needs to be an igniter and having a small flame inside of an inclosed place with glue and paper is going to be a bad time.
