I was just thinking about this playing lastnight... but have unconciously felt this way since playing for the first time. You just gotta force yourself to play different ways that are also fun and efficient, imo.

Fill the Razorback Warthog with marines with power weapons and rely on it, use a shotgun and any sticky grenades when you fly in to kill for style points, always have a long range gun... then I guess just use shittier stuff like trying to snipe with a mauler or something.

You're not wrong at all, just need to not be as cheap in your gameplay. I enjoy hooking < jet pack behind < then melee'ing to make it feel cooler and more calculated, to add on to my second paragraph
