The most embarising aspects of games development for Games Developers are crashes... and the most annoying aspects of games for gamers are, well, crashes and glictches.

The weirdest glitch I encounted was on Hidden & Dangerous. On the Canyon level I had a team member go through the Mat mesh of the map and land in the 3D build enviroment and it fell on an endless drop. And kept going to the bottom of the 3D enviroment and then drop down from the top again through the map and into the abiss again. I had to Reset the PC to stop it!

What's the weirdest one you encounted?

The Myth beta bug was pretty bad. If you want to know what it was then check out the Bungie History section.

Wread about that one, nasty one that. I placed the worst One I encounted personly. I've heard of some nasties out there... the Myth bug was one of the nastiest I heard of by the way.

Baldur's gate II
I happened to kill the last boss to fast, so the game just stopped. It looked like if it was a cut scene, but nothing happened.
(he is supposed to first come, summon some demons, teleprt away, teleport away, die
for me it was like this: come, summon demons, die)

That's just a sign of poor physics development on the Developer's part. That my friends is a glitch that should be inexcusable. But you have to admit that BioWare don't do much testing on their medioca Physics engines. I found several bugs in Star Wars: KotOR alone.

I feel sorry for anyone looking forward to the sequal. (But BioWare did say they will fix those bugs, but don't expect much scince all licenced software will always be glitch baskets, and BioWare never bother to test, retest and fix problems with their Physics engines. Shame.)

But that was also one of the only glitches I have found in Baldur's gate II....

Driver2 had a very bad bug (so does Driv3r), when you would crash sometimes your car would fall through the map and reapear out of the sky and reapeat the sequence repeatedly until you reset the console.

Enter The Matrix had a wierd one. On the Retrieving Axel level as ghost, I went over a jump and the agent car landed on me pushing me through the ground and I just kept falling until I reloaded the last checkpoint.

I still don't think Bungie's hard drive bug was a bug, I think it was an evil plan to take over the world, that just happened to be found too early for anything to happen......

No, it's supposed to be that way. I developed it <sarcasm>

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Quake 1 had some funny ones. You would get hit by a cyborg and fly up in the air and hit a wall and sometimes I would fly straight through the wall. Also in Starcraft in one level tons and tons of scouts appeared. so many it made the game crash

In blood gulch my friend fell half way through the map, so his upper body was on the floor of the map and his lower body was under it

Example:

Top of his body
Ground
Lower part of his body

Yeah something like that happened in T.H.U.G. in Vancover w/ moon gravity on you can wall jump all the way up the side of the hotel and fall through the floor, or land in 1 of 2 rooms you can also wall jump other walls including invisible ones (the ones that keeps you from going out of the playing area)

The worst game glitch I ever came across was in the game called The Thing, the sequel to the movie. I threw a grenade clear across the room and when I ran from it, it blew me up. There were some more. The people walk through doors, they peple die for no reason, and the last level when you're far away from the vent core, it still burns you.

How about best glitches? In BG, I was in the middle of a sniper fest game. Almost everyone either had a sniper rifle or a pistol with a rocket launcher. Everyone was sniping other people. So I got behind those rocks behind the red base (a popular sniper destination) and when I was behind a rock, I was able to zoom in and look right through it. After I was able to kill a few guys, almost everyone was aiming at me, but the rock was between me and them, and they couldn't hurt me even with a direct hit with an rl.

I've never been able to recreate it. BTW I was killed after I was swarmed by 8 guys from 1 clan. Pity.

The best glitch I encounted was done on purpose. I opened a door on one of the levels on Halo single player and managed to drive a Gost into the compound before the door closed. Inside the compound the area was too small for the camera to follow the Gost inside the polygons of the level so it started to flote outside the level and I could see everything from above. I then drove the Gost through a door and got off it as the door closed. When it closed and I got off, instead of falling to the ground it just stayed there hoisted in mid air harf way through the door. I then added an extra punch to the funny event and decided to clim back on the Gost and I started blasting covernant through the door and the door protected me on one side, as the Gost had its weapons a blasting on the other. My X-box made some funny noises when I did this so I quickly turned it off and told myself I would never do that again.

Bungie did that so if you found bugs, then your x box would explode and kill you
moral: never mess with bungie
