Terra Nova rocks for lots of reasons, but the jet-pack is a big one, and I want to get a list of 3D games with the feature (because AFAIK it doesn't crop up that often, despite the invariably-awesome results).
I also want to categorise them to some extent. My suggestions are:
'game name' (linked to mobygames if possible, or moddb for mods, etc...)
'1stP' for first-person.
'3rdP' for third-person.
'MP' for multi-player.
'MP+B' if there are bots for multi-player.
'SP' for single-player (beyond MP+B).
'1' if jet-packs are a primary/fundamental aspect of the game.
'2' if jet-packs are a secondary/occasional aspect of the game.
'3' if jet-packs only feature rarely.
That's a bit subjective, but for example I would say '1' for Giants, as jet-packs are fundamental for the Mecc third of the game (even though they don't feature for the other characters); I would say '2' for Armed and Dangerous as (a) it's not a 'proper' jet-pack, and (b) you don't always have it; and I would say '3' for Aliens vs Predator as it's a bonus-level feature only.
But you don't need to stick to that. Be as descriptive as you like :)
Oh, and include the platform (DOS, Win, PS2, etc...) as well, of course.

Heavy Gear and Heavy Gear II, although you're wearing a suit-mech-thing that makes you a cross between a soldier and a Battlemech.

Maybe because the jetpack in Duke3D is booooring? There's no inertia, no acceleration. The thing stops on a dime and just... blergh. Ok, it adds to the overall awesomeness that is Duke3D, I'll give you that. But it's not a game you'd pick up if you want good jetpack-action. Now Giants, there's a good jeckpacking game. :thumb:
Oh my god! I played the demo of this ages ago and loved it, been trying to remember the name of it for a while now, thanks! :D

I played nine shits out of Outwars demo, I have no idea why I never bothered to play the full version.
Thanks for reminding me.
Also kinda unrelated, but you might be interested in Shattered Horizon.
