Sniper_Chance · November 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">What have you experienced?</div> In Call of Duty, I was on the Soviet mission where you have to defend that house from the Germans.

I hid in a room, waiting for reinforcements to come, when to my surprise, the Germans reveal their "secret weapon" -- <b><a href='http://12.208.76.159/sniper/callofduty-noclip.jpg' target='_blank'>Nocliptruppen</b></a>!

The Germans were actually sliding THROUGH the wall, with no harm done to them. I could see their hands and MP40 barrels sticking through the walls, too. =p

Well that and all of morowind <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Morrocrack (one of my fav games) is basicly one big bug/glitch/exploit <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Such things as:
1) Jumping to the top of a rock (or house) and watching the AI attempt to find a path to where you are (after you start shooting towns folk.. What I was bored)

2) Bouncing around like a bunny as per usual... *load* ... Fall through floor WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

3) Jump and then use a door(to a new area) == Telefrag (though this was fixed in either a patch or one of the 2 expansions)

4) Create ring/hat/whatnot of constant effect poison/fire on self. Sell it to an NPC (NPCs auto wear basicaly anything you sell em <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>). Wait. Watch as the "Your Crime Has Been Reported" Msg showes up.... "WHAT??? I WASN'T NEAR THE GUY!!!" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Also in some of the older elderscrols games it was posible to simply walk through corners and end up out side the walls of a doungeon <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Vice city has some **** up bugs but my vote goes to everyone's favorite thing in GTA3

BLUE HELL but it wasn't ordinary, oh no, I GOT INSIDE THE PORTLAND HIDEOUT WITH BLUE HELL AND GOT TO SEE EVERYTHING INSIDE! If only I could get a screenshot of that though.

MedHead · November 2003

In an old Star Trek adventure game, if I walked back and forth between two rooms I would enter a level I was not yet ready to use. It sealed me in there, and I could never get out. There was a small set of controls on a desk that, if I moved them, killed everyone on the planet. The game would then end, sometimes crashing. I thought I found a super secret level, but I found out it was only a bug: I was to visit that level later.

Gwahir · November 2003

Star Trek Unity or something like that?
You weren't supposed to kill everyone...

Anway, lets see here...
perhaps falling through the ground in MDK, as much parachute fun as you want!

Hawkeye · November 2003

I was playing pacman once, and a HUGE SUPER ghost came in and ate pacman AND the game!
Okay, I made that up.

A real one would be the water level in Zelda: Ocinara of Time. I think those of you who have played know what this bug is. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>
You end up using too many of your keys and not have enough to finish the level.

or the bug where you replace any item with a bottle..?

and you go out and test it on all your stuff that you don't use, deku nuts, that yellow mask... and OOPS

"OH SH*T MY OCARINA..!?"

that was priceless.

Liku · November 2003

^Exactly!^ It's hilarious!

UltimaGecko · November 2003

Morrowind also has the cool Soultrap exploit, where you can make spells that last an eternity (don't do it with levitation though, you'll never be able to sleep....again!).

In KOTOR there's quite a few bugs, but you might not be able to get them if you have a good disc (Xbox version). Carth dissapears, accidental Debug mode....there's tons of them.

Something like that. And yes, I know that I wasn't supposed to kill anyone. However, because the level wasn't ready to be played yet, it wouldn't work properly.

Mullet · November 2003

I was playing max payne and I was pretty far into the game/level. Anyway, there was a seat and I jumped on it goin up and down (I was bored) and then all of a sudden I started sinking out of the map...Just kept falling and falling....It sucked cuz I had to start at the beginning of the level again <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

I used to crash through the terrain of Burnout 2. End up falling through empty sky, until it put you back on the track again.

Smoke_Nova · November 2003

GTA3 PS2.

I used the full health/repair car cheat until my Banshee had been rammed into the ground by the subway.

After four or five times, I got pushed through. I floated for like 10 minutes. got a mad quadruple insane stunt bonus, 10k.

Rellix · November 2003

In planetside, when i droped in via HARP, I went through the ground and got stuck, you could see all the weaponf ire throught the ground and move around. Unfortunatly there are no exits so I had to recall <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

Bogglesteinsky · November 2003

I once got stuck on a railing on crazy taxi for the PS2. I didn't get the passenger to her destination, but i got a very nice tip... (~X40)

uranium_235 · November 2003

Tribes 2 had the strangest bugs ever.

Capture a flag: UE.

Fire a gun: UE.

Jump: UE.

Quit the game: UE.

Geminosity · November 2003

Operation Flashpoint has the most memorable bugs I've seen ^^;

Once I was in a bunker and an explosion hit the side of it. Instead of being safe inside the bunker the explosion had so much force it teleported me out through the top of the bunker. I sorta stood there ontop of it for a second thinking "what the?" before the next explosion turned the world black =P

One other time me and my flatmates were setting up an ambush for an income squad (complete with tank support). As I heard them coming I thought I'd move a little closer to the wall inside the house so they wouldn't spot me and suddenly I was no longer in the house... in one tiny step I'd walked through the entire wall and was now sitting in the middle of the garden on the other side in full view of the incoming soldiers. Kinda ruined the ambush really =3

Another time I got in a helicopter with a friend while the other drove but when we took off I was left on the ground o.O
The scariest part is my friends could still see me in the helicopter but I was standing up with my head sticking through the ceiling lol.

There was a moment in CS that was weird too: 2 of my friends were the last remaining people alive, both armed with AWPs. It was Militia and the Terrorist was sitting at the top of the ladder thingy to the left (CT's left) of the house. The CT ran up the ladder and surprised by seeing the T waiting for him he pulled the trigger just as the T did, the gunfire was point-blank range with no chance of missing... but something happened!
All of a sudden there was the weirdest noise you'll ever hear; it was like a gunshot wrapped in itself and warped and echoed all at the same time. They both stared at each other complete unhurt for a second before the CT ran down the ladder and began typing 'What the hell just happened?'. The T didn't type and we were quickly greeted with 'Terrorists Win' lol ^^;

If you'd ever read a Lucky Luke comic, you'd know that the bullets simply collided in midair. Such things happen I guess. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Geminosity · November 2003

well, that's what I joked it was but I doubt CS has gun physics that are <b>that</b> realistic ^~
It won't be far off the truth though, but the noise it made was just so damn weird there's no way they programmed that to happen on purpose o.O

Daza4 · November 2003

Hitman2. on the first mission. Walk to the garrage or through the door outside. And walk on the slope theres a hole in it.

EDIT: Fixed typos etc

Obst · November 2003

In a game called "Das Boot" (about submarines...) there was a strange bug. I don't know exactly anymore what to do, but by a special order of torpedotype loading you could add one torpedo to your arsenal, so you got infinite trop ammo. This was the first bug I discovered myself, it made my really proud <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Strafing left, to avoid a plasma grenade, into a wall on Halo and falling through the wall into the void. That was fun.

Mr_JeburtO · November 2003

i found a bug in vice city. when i was gettin chased by the police i drove to the big mall on the first island. when i got there the police set up a blockade and i crashed into it. in doing so my car fliped and crashed into the side of the mall. for some reason i was pushed out of the car and INTO the wall.

that was when i descovered the bug that police can shoot through walls and glass <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Dubers · November 2003

Wierdest one I had was in Battlefield 1942 where I was falling from a great height out of an aircraft to the point where my player model was doing the falling animation (frantically flapping its arms around and screaming). I hit the parachute key the half second before I hit the ground and landed safely but my model is still flapping it's arms around as if falling.

I could shoot and everything but all anyone else could see was me runing around with my arms waving about. It was the wierdest most funny thing I've ever seen in a game and only ended once I had been shot dead.

Needless to say I was rofl and thats why I got killed.

Maus · November 2003

Discovering the old NS 1.0x spec-mode bug was pretty dang funny. In fact, I think I still have a demo of it sitting on my computer somewhere - 2HA marines out of ammo and welding each other in a Nancy vent at the end of a game, with the aliens all shouting "WTH invincible hax!" already, then some vanilla marine with no weapons dropping into the vent to join them, taking no damage and shielding the HA while <i>everyone</i> is asking what the hell's going on. ^^

Don't know if that was the first time the bug was ever seen, but it must have been one of the earliest sightings.

Kung_Fool · November 2003

In Gothic 2 I once explored the land around Korinis and all of a sudden I found a strange rock leaning against a little hill. I jumped on it, climbed on the hill and then continued climbing on other little hills... and continued... and continued... until I realized that I was not supposed to be there and fell out of the map. Awesome for a moment

... until I hit the "floor". <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Geminosity · November 2003

hitman 2 fun: I was dragging a body down to the basement in the first mission when a guard came my way. I quickly slipped behind the door but I didn't know if he was going to come down or not so I didn't have time to grab the body. Sure enough, my luck fails and he comes down. I start panicking as he spots the body and runs straight towards the door. weirdly though, he hits the door and because I'm behind it, it doesn't open properly. Next the guard sorta judders like something out of house on haunted hill then goes back to his relaxed state, calmly stepping back over the body and wandering back off on his patrol route o.O

I so piano wired his behind for that one XD
