<div class="IPBDescription">Haven't played Beta</div>I have Beta from my pre-order but won't be able to install it or play it for some time. Wondering how the blink works now. Control wise.

    You right click, ghost image of fade will appear infront of you. Use mouse to point in the direction where you want to blink to. Right click again. If you're blinking towards marines, ghost image will always face marines making it easier for combat.

    There's a video on this made by NS2HD.

    Right Click brings up a ghost of a fade, when you right click again you will appear at that position.

    The ghost faces the direction of the nearest target.

    In other words: Just like in 1.0 - 1.04.
    The only difference is the small fade model in the middle of the screen, helping newbies to orientate :P

    So in this video, it shows a sniper / backstab attack when you blink accurately to the back of a vanilla marine. I hadn't noticed that in some limited fade play time. That really incorporates the new blink mechanic into the effectiveness of playing fade quite well. I'm excited to see all the new movements in the game. They are already shaping up nicely.
