Hello everyone! Earlier last month we revealed the new NS2 Fade and his new blink ability (see mayhem below). It was always the goal to have the Fade truly teleport properly, but the old Half-life engine never seemed up to the task, so he just moved really fast. Not any more! He can disappear and reappear behind marines, on top of structures and pretty much anywhere else his little black heart desires.
The Fade
NS2 Fade and his new blink ability released 18th November in build 155. If you have not already seen the reveal video then check it out!

i had a question about that cinematic trailer, was that made in-engine
i.e. would we be able to make something like it in the game
Yea. They hey their own cinematic editor. Even all the media is in-engine renders.
Yeah was made in-engine. They also ship the cinematic editor with the game so you can actually make them yourself. Very cool.
Gives new meaning to the phrase: Smoking can kill you!
Cool creature, I'm awaiting the release. I pre-ordered a year ago.
That's simply amazing! I really can't wait to see more! Also, good luck with IOTY!
The Fade rocks the battlefield.
Also, teleporting properly was easy on the HL Engine, many mods implemented it. ESF for example had it done well.
Who else noticed the bladerunner reference at the very beginning?
I just watched the HD vid... please tell me sprinting is NOT going to be in the final game.
NS2 can own without sprinting.
Cool trailer but is the marine chatter supposed to be almost inaudible?
