Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
hmm no, because that way it wouldn't go through gradually.
I first thought a rocket but of course actors can't re-enter them.
Perhaps they've done something twisted to the deepchecks, as nobody seems to know what they're for anyway. Or a really odd material.
But they said it was a combination of techniques.

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
Wow, the idea really is awesome! This would revolutionize the way you play CC!
Who originated the idea anyway? Was it some kind of mega-accident that turned out usefull? Or did someone really sit down and say "whoah, how would I throw a portal gun into CC?"

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
As awesome as this is, I can't really see it becoming that useful.
I mean, "reducing travel time" is a joke, because no map is big enough for that to be a problem.
Teleporting into an enemy base would be cool, but if they were 2 way he would you go through your portal.

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
That makes it sound like clones are somehow not expendable.

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
Who said a clone had to throw it?

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
Well if you're playing properly, the more epensive ones aren't.
Of course, I just buy my -99999999999 cost Gold Shootin' Gun at the start of every match, but I'd still rather not go through the bother of buying a new clone.
Also dropships can't throw grenades into enemy bunkers.

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
The key word here is "grenade", it implies that someone is required to pull the pin and throw it.
If you are using a dropship: Expendable also.

I've autostarted with 99999999 gold since forever, I actually can't remember the last time I mined some gold.

I meant, maybe it's a more expencive actor that you actually can't afford to lose.

Re: Portal Gun. You know you want it.
TD. It's a ♥♥♥♥ portal. Who cares? We have done the incredible, the impossible. We have made something that will revolutionize CC and change the way we mod forever. Also, useful if you don't feel like buying more clones, or you don't like to cheat incredibly. Also, Data's not a good CC coder, he's said himself he's amazed at the hacky way we do things. Stop saying we're Data incarnate also, that's offensive, as Data is not dead and you're mocking a religion.
