    The Fade (level 4) has the "blink" ability. It can teleport forward a short distance depending on how much spare energy it has. Ollying was never in to my knowledge though it probably would have been cool. For those of you that don't know what I refer to when I say "Olly" I mean the ability to bounce off walls. You could run down a hall bouncing from wall to wall making a very difficult target to hit.

    Bouncing off walls was and still is planned. While not neccesarily on the list of stuff to be put it, it may see the light of day yet.

    It was actually called 'ricochet'.  Version 2, maybe <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I also remember flayra saying that when you blink, you don't just go forward a short distance, you can actually blink all the way to the next solid object.

    Trane is correct. In fact, that's about the only way it works.

    is there any varience on energy usage depending on distance gone?

  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu Anememone Join Date: 2002-03-23 Member: 345Members
    I think it is charge and fire, releasing all your energy.

  • MoleculorMoleculor Namer-of-Bob Join Date: 2002-01-24 Member: 9Members
    No, it's just point and click, and it uses a set amount of energy.

    Not sure if there's a limit on distance.

    heh you could "blink" in battlezone2 and in that game you could go until you hit something (well to be technical youd aim it (see a green circle) and try and aim it to where you want to go and youd usually be driving kinda fast when you blinked even if you were just sitting still). That will be cool for the aliens, but the marines worst nightmare.... (me changes vote from marines is best to aliens               <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::asrifle::'><!--endemo-->         <!--emo&::onos::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::onos::'><!--endemo-->        >                              <!--emo&::onos::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tiny.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::onos::'><!--endemo-->        <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/asrifle.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::asrifle::'><!--endemo-->

    I thought the main advantage of being able to bounce off walls is that you gained a significant boost in speed everytime you did it, a boost that you could maintain by continued bouncing (like bunnyhopping in TFC(prepatch)).

    Sounds really cool to be able to bounce off the walls and such, but I think the blinking ability will be fun enough for V1 <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    In fact, I was really looking forward to bouncing of walls up into the rafters, i.e. bouncing off a wall to a higher ledge, and so on. Then blink down on someone.

    Yep, ollying was planned a looong time ago but it never made it in.  Perhaps it'll make it into a future version.

    Blink is 3D, correct? You can blink anywhere in your LOS?
    Just wondering.

    I figured since you slashed his torso you could just shove the rocket straight <i>up</i> his esophougas... esouphogaus... esouphoug... whatever. I don't feel like looking it up right now...

    I'm going to blink around a room, attempting to act L33t, and then get gunned down humialiatingly by a Marine with 30 hp, no armor, and a pistol.
