It did not have the best combat gameplay of the whole series. The Jetpack was a terrible addition.

It was a very good addition. Why should players be stuck to static cover locations? Why not be able to move around much more? You couldn't even jump in the games before Andromeda.

Because it means that there's no way to be punished for bad positioning? That lowers the stakes of the combat and makes it boring.

Yes there is, what are you talking about. If you stand in the line of fire, you will die. That was true for all the ME games. Andromeda just didn't have the focus on pushing one button to solve that problem, you actually had to move around. It had higher stakes.
