Jumping in FPS's is almost always annoying. It works beautifully in the Prime series but then that series is 50/50 on action and exploration, not really a FPS.
Goldeneye and PD are the hight of FPS's to me, and I thank God they dont have jump buttons. PD's "Cant jump, but you can fall" is the perfect way to incorporate 3-D movement in a FPS, the next logical step would be less or zero gravity-like controls. I imagine the rocketpack in PDZ to be something like that. But we'll see.
