For that very first blink (watching and then trying it, this is probably the most confusing) ..the trick here is that the rocks along the path below MUST be cleared before you're allowed to jump the wall.
That glitch is a bit dubious as a time saver; it's just cool. If you use that blink/boot charge on the railing near the rocks rather than on the glitch, you might actually save time since you don't have to wait around for the bridge, or hit the button. The only catch there is that the hack has to be *really* fast, since that now becomes your speed bottleneck, rather than the time it takes for the bridge to drop (I was slow to hack in the video, yet we still had to wait.)
We also discovered that glitch and were tempted to use it but figured it wasn't intended and decided to go for "pure" runs without map exploits instead -- best we've done so far is 3:41, and we can still do a little better.
I'd be curious to see how fast we could get if we did use the exploit. Maybe a separate video :)
That little exploit is cool in conjunction with boots/blink, but I personally don't think it saves much time, mostly because we have to take the time to hit the button and then wait on the damned thing to drop (you can't get up until it finishes dropping) and *then* we also have to expend our blink/boots cooldown/charges there instead of elsewhere.
Now that we posted a video containing the exploit, hopefully it'll be fixed. We plan on improving our time without using this, too.
Assault Boots. I blinked, and he used the last charge on his boots to jump up. That jump consumed 2 charges, by the way..they're really buggy in the way that they're consumed. Sometimes you'll get 2-3 uses, sometimes you'll get the full 5.
i cant get the blink pack to work at 0:40 where do you aim??

A teammate first has to clear the rocks on the path below. Once they're cleared, you'll be able to blink.

The Tesla was bugged and did insane damage at the time of this video's recording. It was quickly patched out.

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't realize that I wasn't recording audio until well after this was shot.
FRAPS has a weird time picking up game audio when my mic is enabled.

@velocitas Yeah, I commented, *then* read your description. Either way... =p

We managed to run 3:27, without glitching, although it wasnt perfect run either, check my videos.
