Favorite Glitches in a game

I really think this thread is worthy of a [big] bump. Besides, a lot of new stuff has come out since last year.

Namely for me, I discovered the joys of getting out of the map on Combat Arms, and then killing everyone in their spawn. Reading everyone's would-be intimidating remarks about me being such a faggot was a seemingly endless source of lulz. Sucks that Nexon patched that though.

I also found the joys of freeze jumping in CoD4. Best boredom killer ever.
 
Tony Hawks Underground, if you go off a ramp in the second level? you end up on water and can pretty much get around the whole map just skating on top of the water. It's pretty cool.

Hmm, at the moment, mine would probably have to be the spiderbike on Saints Row 2

For anyone that doesn't know how to do it, you need a certain type of motorbike (Forgot the name of it, too tired to remember), you drive towards a building , lift up so it's as if you're going to drive up it, and you should be completely 90 degrees facing vertical pressed up against the building, then just hold accelerate, you can use nitrous too if you'd like, but basically, you can just keep riding up it without falling off unless you stop. You can then pull away from it and do lots of mad flips in midair, then do it ALL again. Fun.

Just found a YouTube vid to show people, the bike is called a Kenshin, lol.

Oh, also my SIMS1 used to glitch and the naked censoring used to show in the wrong places, a few pixels to the right of where it should be. Imagine basically a nude character in the shower while the drawers next to it are being blurred out for nudity.

Sounds like fun haha...

Question; Did they actually model the parts, or just leave them blank, I mean, it'd seem pointless if they did model 'em on, considering legitally, the censor is over them, haha.

Lol that's just sick and twisted, I mean, what if a little kid is playing, somehow finds a mod on the internet, but doesn't know what it does, SOMEHOW manages to install it and get it working, and then becomes traumatised by what they see !?

However, in reality, that's probably never happened.
 
I like this thread - since I usually search for glitches in games in my free time. ^_^

My favorite glitches come from Doom (the original one), Oblivion and Fallout 3. There are plenty of youtube videos out there on Fallout 3 and Oblivion glitches. Like the horny guard from F3 or traveling out of cities in Oblivion. XD

My favorite glitch is from halo #1 for XBOX. The reload glitch with human weapons, and the unlimited ammo glitch with plasma weapons.

When reloading human weapons like the rocket launcher stand over another weapon, then switch to the weapon on the ground when you are in middle of reloading. Your rocket launcher will will have an extra clip in it. The glitch does not work well with the shotgun.

For unlimited ammo with plasma weapons you must be in co-op mode at a spawn point. Equip a plasma weapon and jump through the spawn point over & over until you plasma battery is unlimited. It's hard to do, but when you do it never switch from the plasma weapon. You'll lose the "unlimited" if you switch. I wish they would've put these glitches on all the other halo games.
 
#1 Glitch for a fun time is:

... .... ... (oh the suspence!!!)

TES IV: Oblivion!!! wins for this glitch (Which has been patched if you go online with your Xbox 360/PS3):

The hitting shit and makign it explode into millions of it itself glitch... exelent if you ask me, me and my cousins filled a whole house in the water front district with Melons... ... :D it was so retarded that it was funny.

Also I would occasionly just do the glitch in a town so when I came back to the down there where just like a million fruits everywhere (Because it works best with fruits... yep)

Althought!!! I have done this glitch and made I think either 50 or 100 of the stones you take from oblivion to distroy the oblivion gate's OH! Sigil Stones!

It was funny as hell, I made them where Channcelor Ocato sits in white gold tower you know the big meeting room that has like 1000 seats in it for about five people... yep that is redicoules... ITS a class glitch and shame they fixed it because it was completley unnessecery to fix it only effected peoples money on the game and even then it did not effect you at all apart from some lag which could be fixed by picking up the items, It effected the players money because you could lets say duplicate 100 items worth 500gold then just keep selling it and get a ton of cash... (I did this once and made around 100,000gold.)

Never seen that one before. When did it get patched?

I also found the glitch with the Wizards Tower DLC where I saved in it and then deleted the DLC and then reloaded. I got to some test area and got the Mace of Doom and every type of Sigil Stone. MoD is like a hit kill for anything because it has a huge area effect for fire damage. I love killing guards en masse with it. I've also been glitching around on that fairly new game Cross Fire. SubaGames is smart and looks up glitch vids on YouTube and then patches them so it gets difficult. I found one on accident, though I have no clue how to enter it again.

I loved the glitch on oblivion where you could get ontop of the arena, during an arena match. I also liked the one where you could get ontop of the bloodworks. I spent ages up there. XD
 
Yes, Oblivion has some awesome ones.

My favorite one is that sometimes when you kill a guard riding a horse, his corpse will fly off and his pelvic area will move up and down - as if he's still riding the horse! Then he'll still talk to you ("Halt, criminal scum!"), though he'll be invisible, and if you choose to fight him, you have to attack his corpse to "officially" destroy him. ^_^

(If that's confuse, the video is on youtube somewhere XD)

I need to play that again and just mess around. I haven't seen good ones like that in a while! I find it amusing to set certain things in chairs and sit down on them. They'll fly out from under you and go who knows how far. The flowers on the throne in Cheydinhal work great for this. I also like freezing people's dead corpses in doorways. With Rufio at the beginning of the Dark Brotherhood, I killed him right as he went out the door of his room and he just froze there. He then did a super slo-mo death animation and finally got to the ground :biggrin:. After that I closed the door on him and he had a post-death seizure. Oblivion has some messed up crap, it does.

Yeah. After I beat Oblivion the first time, I messed around with it so much - exploring as much as of the glitches as I possibly could. Of course, then they sold our PS3 - but I got another one now (because of my boyfriend), and started a new game recently. YAY!! XD

Fallout 3 also has loads and loads of glitches (it is basically the same engine as Oblivion ^_^). The only one I've seen in person is one where a dead corpse flings all over the screen, trying to register where to land. Well, I did see one where I went to get my character a hair cut, and instead of showing her face, it showed her crotch area. I was afraid, that if I exited out of the hair-cut screen, my character would have a "crotch-face". XD

I have always been fascinated by glitches, probably because I'm curious in the programming of video games (and what went wrong to cause the bugs). XD

Awesome Bro

me and my buddy were playing some co-op in gears of war 2 and at this one point of the game one of you are on a turret and it blows up and your suppose to go flying off... but for some reason we didn't so we spent 2 hours just killing enemies and thinking to ourselves "when the fuck is this going to end?" ah good times
 
Uncharted : Drakes fortune:
At the end of chapter 5, in the water room. (hardest part of the game IMO) on crushing you this glitch only works:
?ormally enemies comme barging on you with machine guns from all sides (with barely to NO cover) and after 3 shots , your dead. but before you jummp in the pool (and the enemies spawn you gotta hang over the ledge, get back up and run to the start of the level, then run around the car and come back. AND THE ENEMIES ARE SPAWNED WITHOUT NEEDING TO GO IN THE WATER, and becayse the platfrom before you reach the water is excelent cover you can take out the 2 waves with ease :) (I loved this glitch , ttook me 20 tries before I gave up, just to see on internet there'qs a tglitch for this :D)
