1. State the problem/Issue you are tackling.
Many times phasing thru gates will end up getting marines stuck on each other. Also, phasing around to multiple gates to get to the desired gate only adds frustration to the game and no actual value.
2. Suggestion or solution.
Pressing use on a phase gate brings up a list of gates a player can select. Also when phasing in, alternating angles of entrance could be used. (Thanks Necro)
3. Description and implementation.
Pressing use on the gate will bring up a selectable menu (not including the gate you are at). If only one gate exists, then pressing use on it will immediately phase to that one gate.

Jumping thru a phase gate when your team is trying to get thru sometimes get you stuck. Also jumping thru every phase gate to get to the one you want is silly.
Idea #1
How about press "E" on the phase gate brings up a list of gates and you select the gate you want.
Idea #2
Instead of warping thru a gate with the team (which ends in catastrophe that requires the "kill" command) how about we phase in around the gate. There would have to be a balance such as a 2-3 second delay and some sort of marker (I was thinking blue particle mist) to let the aliens know where the marine is coming in.

Although then that adds up to something interesting when the connection is broken...
You just have to jump, if you stuck in another player. There is no need for "kill".
But yeah, to polish the game, the stacking while leaving the pg should be fixed. I'm not a friend of the idea to beam them around the pg. This will make it impossible for aliens to get the pg down. Because they get shot from random directions where the marines popping in.
Just let the marine auto-run a few steps out of the pg in a predefined and alternating angle. So they won't get stuck into each other AND don't stand for 0.5 seconds in the pg (being a happy meal for every alien chewing on the pg) until all the new graphics and geometry is loaded. This way it isn't such a guarantied suicide, when moving through a attacked pg.
