I somewhat doubt that they're going to stop the action in the middle of the game to explain the jet packs. They certainly didn't explain in Halo 2 where the Assault Rifle disappeared to, and how it returned in Halo 3.

OTOH, allot of the more basic guns in Dark Forces(Like most Star Wars guns) are bassically just *20th century weapons that fires glowy red light and makes pewpew noises*
Though again. It's a matter of familiarity in Halo. In the canon the Covenant are more advanced than the UNSC. So there needs to be a visual/effects differences between human and covenant weapons. The most blatant way to do this is to give the aliens colorful energy weapons, and the humans machine guns.
edit: On anther note...what exactly did they do to Cortana's hair?
