Whatever this year's Call of Duty game is going to be, it won't have jet packs. The confirmation comes from Treyarch Game Design Director David Vonderhaar, most known for his work on the Black Ops series, who made the unofficial announcement from his personal account on Twitter.
In case you're wondering why Vonderhaar sounds so emphatic in his answer, a follow-up tweet from the developer reveals that the critical response to Black Ops 3's inclusion of jet packs in 2015 still hangs heavy on his mind, and clearly the studio wants to avoid another fan backlash.
