How does boosting make it less likely to glitch?

Wow, me and my friend were playing my new race map the other day when we found one spot where you go lightspeed whenever you hit it. Beat me to it ;). Good job!

I am soooooo downloading this thanks alot can't wait to try it.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Ha! That's pretty cool!


Also, nice Spaceballs reference!Posted by: MythicSniper
Enjoy! Maybe try and go into plaid?

It's a glitch with the anti-gravity nodes of covenant vehicles and lag, and occurs over edges and joining geometry. The node goes under or over the edge, and the vehicle continues on, the separation either snaps back towards each other and goes crazy, or pops out and continues on as normal. Therefore, it must be at least a little laggy if you want to get it more than rarely, and you must be off-host and in a covy vehicle.

I once spent a laggy enough game in forge that I would do this all the time on flat colosseum walls, and it would always be right where they were intersecting, or on an edge.

For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

It works differently for different people. Boosting on this map never seems to work for me when I'm on the Runways. It does work for me, however, on the Dishes and Renegade Ramps. One of my friends goes Lightspeed nearly every time he boosts, though.

1. It doesn't have to be laggy at all. The glitch can happen with virtually no lag and when you're playing by yourself.
2. You don't have to be off-host.
3. You don't have to be in a Covy vehicle. I have seen it happen to Scorpions and Warthogs.
4. How did you get lag in Forge...by yourself...?

  • 08.16.2011 11:21 AM PDT

Forklifts never die. They're just missing in Forge.

Lightspeed into a Falcon. YES.

Also, Unearthed also has lightspeed capabilities, around the edges of the map, to the left of the spawn room.

ya um how come you come up with a glitch people like you i come up with a glitch people hate me

Thank you.

That was the best kill ever. Period. I only wish we had all been lined up so that I went lightspeed into the Falcon at the same time.

Define "come up with a glitch?"
I didn't "come up with" the Lightspeed glitch. I just made a convenient method of triggering it.

  • 08.18.2011 9:58 AM PDT

I am human, I am good and bad as well. But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad. Or just not too good, but I do try.

So with that said I don't fault you. I mean your only human, good or bad.

Stat and Sig

You could have put more effort into your map it's not smoothed out at all.

You didn't read the OP at all, did you?
The map is intentionally sloppy. Uneven surfaces are more conducive to lightspeed than even surfaces. Thus, sloppy forging is more likely to trigger the glitch than a carefully crafted map.

Also, this was just for fun. This is by no means representative of what I'm capable of in Forge. I didn't care about making it look good. The point is to trigger the glitch as reliably as possible so people can have fun. If I smoothed out the runways and edges, you wouldn't go lightspeed nearly as often. In fact, you might not go lightspeed at all.

No. Lightspeed is too slow.
Lightspeed too slow?
Yes. We're gonna have to go straight to...Ludicrous Speed.
*Gasps* Ludicrous speed? But sir, we've never gone that fast. I don't know if this ship can take it.
What's the matter Colonel Sanders? CHICKENNNNNN?

This map won't work alone. You need to have atleast two players, and you can't be connection host.

Nope. I've done it in campaign. OT, this is a pretty cool and original idea. Ima download.


NoWise thought I was talking about teleporter launching. He didn't read the OP thoroughly and corrected himself later.

Thanks.
