LOL

CTF would be tooooo easy

[Hzza]

WANT!

[Power]

You can't have it! It's not your birthday! Oh wait.

[Hzza]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[Teatime]

Fun. Would completely break the game, but fun.

Just thought of having a sentry face a portal and just put the corresponding exit where the enemies are

[Captain Valentine]

I'd just an exit above a hole and then fire entrances at people's feet

[Tommy the Cat]

They should make another game mode with it

[Millicent Bystander]

I'd put an exit by a sentry and fire the entrance at people's feet

[discordance]

its clearly meant to be an engy only weapon, that runs on large amounts of metal.

There I fixed engy

[Vitalis]

Fun. Would completely break the game, but fun.

Just thought of having a sentry face a portal and just put the corresponding exit where the enemies are

Nahhh
Put sentry somewhere out of the way
Put portal somewhere in front and above sentry
Fire portals under players

Profit.

[CruelCow]

I think in the kotaku article over this they said you can't shoot through it.

[Officer Dibble]

Yeah, so you just use portals to put people next to your sentry.

[Lister]

Yeah, so you just use portals to put people next to your sentry.

Reminds me of that tf2 grief video of the engineers putting teleporters right next to enemy sentrys

[Teatime]

Seriously, it would be a pain in the ass to balance that.

You would have to decide whether shots/projectiles can pass through the portal. Also if both teams can use it, or the won team only. That would actually make it more a two-way teleporter than a portal (noticed how you can't look through the portal in the demo video? Could be the developer is rather imitating the effect than using the portal technology ...).
All maps would have to be re-edited to define materials to put a portal on (or not), which unlike Portal would not be intuitive at all.
Not to mention that indeed you could reach spots the map maker never intended to be reached, potentially disclosing facades and half-built sections.
Also, how many portal guns would be in use? Only one per team? Only a certain class? (But what if 10 people would play that class?) Or could every player carry a portal gun? Of course that would make for a highly dynamic game

If anything something like that would have to be a separate MOD, with redefined classes and/or weaponry and adapted maps (preferably indoors, otherwise the use of the portal gun would be somewhat limited).

[CruelCow]

Could be the developer is rather imitating the effect than using the portal technology ...).

I'm pretty sure that's the case. When you listen to the developer commentaries of portal, they talk about changing the physics engine alot. I doubt a mod has that much access to tf2 and valve probably didn't use the portal specific alterations in tf2.
