As there are some mentions of hallucination, it reminds me another fade ability from Prototype mod by Schimmel, which i really loved.

That is called 'Fetch' and i still hope it be implemented in the future build.

Anyone having information about this ability as official?

    What does it do? Pulling marines to the fade? I would love that as shotgun marine.

    So Fetch would grab a marine and blink him to the fade. Ok, certainly and interesting idea. This would be nice and dangerous for the Fade to do since it seems that the fade would need line of sight on the marine and the fade is apparently immobile while fetching. Thus us poor chaps with LMGs would finally be able to hit the Fade worth a damn. Fades will go down easy if they are foolish enough to try this on a group of marines. Fades are supposed to be super mobile, standing still just isn't what they are meant for. Fades would need a HP buff to compensate, which would make them OP in their normal role. Or you could leave HP alone, making fetch less generally useful and more situational. Another major draw back (and apparently the ultimate sin in game design) is that the marine being fetched has lost all control of movement and will likely be disoriented as heck when the fetch ends. Essentially fetch is a reverse blink, but likely more confusing from a marines perspective.

    Also, may lead to griefing where a Fade will fetch a marine across a gap and end the fetch while over the gap for and easy BS kill. Unless that marine has a JP but lets not get into that, its just a special situation.

    Lots of other little Pros and Cons can be discussed but O think that sums up the major ones.

    Its certainly cool and fun, but will it be a good addition to the game?
    Given the similarity to blink and the added confusion for marine players I don't think this will get added to vannila NS2. Maybe a mod.

    It's an old video, I don't think Schimmel was in the team then, I wouldn't take this seriously.

    Where did the nice attack and idle animation come from for the Fade. Will they be implemented?

    Don't know what the second one does, but looks very cool!
