<div class="IPBDescription">alternate blink</div>Now that i've overcome my fear of being MSPAINTED i've decided it might be a good idea if the fade had a different type of blink.
It's almost a combination original blink from 1.04 which was a true teleport and the new blink which is more of a leap.
<b>I'm going to assume that everyone has heard of portal for hl2 - well what if the fade was able to open up portals as if it using the gun from portal. The trick being that only that 1 player woulud be able to see and use their own portals.
This would give the impression to anyone watching that the fade is simply walking in and out of walls, floors and cielings.</b>
You could even speed up the fades normal walk speed if this was to replace the leap/blink.
Obviously Acid rocket would not shoot thru the portal as this would be a bit of hax.
I think this could if done right really satisfy both groups of people, those who want old blink and those who want new blink. blinkety blink blink.
perhaps even acid rocket could be replaced with acid grenade so that the fade can blink in drop a few acid grenades and blink out again.

Not a good replacement for Blink.

I think it would be more usefull as a weapon of a support class as I mentioned in a later post:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->
-One alien can create portals on walls (3rd or 4th weapon) and I'd like to see the fade or lerk doing this or some other mobile, supportive alien. Maybe the gorge or some other slow alien would be even better, because it is more fragile and can't create portals that far away from each other.
After creating the first portal, the player has like 15-20 seconds to create the 2nd one, before you have to start over again.
-There can only be created two portals at once , both entrance and exit, and you can see the other side through them like in "portals".
-The portals stay for, rough said, 20-30 seconds and their appearance starts to change the last 5 seconds.
10 seconds is maybe enough for a coordinated assault/attack
-There has to be a max. distance between both portals (max ~500 Units?) to avoid deeper balance issues.
-All aliens can see (through) and use the portals, marines can only see a ~90% invisible portal without being able to watch through it on the other side.
-Observatory doesn't effect the portal, but a scanner sweep in range destroys it and thus both portals.
-Both teams can't shoot through them on the other side
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This would give aliens a kinda like phasegate, but only temporary. Its short duration and range should balance it out aswell as the ability of scanner sweep to counter/destroy it.
See marines,
Fire portal gun on wall behind marines.
Fire portal gun at own feet.
Fall through the floor
Emerge behind marines
Kill marines.
Besides looking strange (fade falling through the floor) it would certainly be too unusual to use. It just doesnt seem intuitive enough.
Thats why I am for replacing blink by a 3 ssecond 100% invisibility, combined with a 50% speed increase while beeing invisible. (Invisibility is lost when attacking)
The visual effect would be of the fade suddenly disappearing and then stepping out of a nearby wall with just one click. This would conform to the original story behind the fade's blink, where marines reported that fades seemed to be able to walk through walls with it.
EDIT: It would basically work just like the 1.04 blink, except using the portal mechanics to avoid all the bugs that came with the 1.04 blink.
-1
Halve HP and Armor
Double walking speed
Increase swipe to 140 damage and halve its rate of fire
Blink forms an exit portal that you step out of
NOW you have a ninja assassin!

Gorge with portal gun, now that I can get behind. Like maybe having a portal set up so rines walk over the floor, only to tele over a bottomless pit. Fun for all!
