Silenced fade is great fun, but I wouldn't do it with MC first. An MC first fade HAS to go celerity to have a decent chance of survival. You do a lot of blinking in and out and back to the hive to heal and then back again. You've got to be faster than a swinging crosshair, especially when those shotguns get out on the field. But for second hive MC, silence can be hilarious. Mostly because no one expects a silenced fade. So they start getting hit and turn to say "WHAT THE--" just as they die. Much amusement is had by all. (well, except the dead marine)
