Funny theoretical glitches!

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 3:53 pm

Brink is using the SMART system that allows for access to more of the environment than in most 'ground pounding' games. But with this added complexity and all the other crazy things going on there are bound to be a few glitches in the game upon first release. Although I do not doubt Spamages programing skill and polish it is really quite hard to take every scrappy code or unforeseen interaction into account. So what will you think will be funny/interesting to see?

Here are a few of my ideas.
1. Someone uses SMART to get up to a ledge and hang there while a sentry right above him shoots ineffectively at the tips of his fingers.

2. Someone throws a grenade at a light with low health thats scaling a building. The light vaults the edge of the building right as the grenade goes off and this extra momentum launches the light's ragdoll into the skybox. Giant tumbling light corpse FTW!

3. Someone gets blown up in front of the mechanic robot and they fall into a little pot hole. When the robot runs over the corpse it gets attached to a tread and gets flung everywhere. With the body's polygons getting stretched and eventually the whole level is filled with crazy spinning polygon man.

1: An engineer tries to place a turret and when he's done the sentry registers him as an enemy and kills him

2: An Operative uses that self destruct ability(I forget what it's called but then respawns right after. When he spawns he explodes killing 3 of his teammates

This isn't really a glitch but hilariously epic none the less.
3: When a Soldier comes around the corner cooking a grenade a badass gun toting........ Badass, comes around the corner and shoots the grenade once he throws it

Oh :c Well, learn something new every day!

On Topic: You change clothing, but the game forgets to register it, and you run around with only a wireframe, no textures.

Getting stuck in the sliding animation and sliding around the map unable to stop, until you get killed.

Highly unlikely, but it would be funny to see someone defying the laws of friction and momentum.

Well you can shoot grenades but you need OMGWTFFTWBBQ speed, timing, and accuracy. But it is possible. It's proven to have been done.........

You know. The CoD's and all the realistic shooting games. Your feet are always on the the ground. You dont climb buildings at will. Often used as a catch all term for the Army or armed forces that arent inserted by air.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm hoping for collision.

Well of course Chuck Norris can. http://images.wikia.com/brink/images/5/5e/Grenade_Shooting_2.jpg

Ah okay. I thought you had just butchered the term 'ground-breaking.' My mistake.

That reminds me of Team Fortress 2. There was a short-lived exploit where you could build infinite sentry guns with a console command, and you didn't even have to be an engineer at times.

I hope that's in Brink. Just imagine the fun!

Brink has soft collision. You can move through teammates, but you can't stand inside of them. You get pushed away. Same with turrets. :thumbsup:

Not a glitch but a great idea: A guy gets caught modding his game and the next time he goes into a
match and fires his gun bubbles pour out of the barrel followed buy a flag that says [BANG!]

A collision texture accurs inside the grenade launcher and causes it to explode when the trigger is pulled

Guns keep fireing on the ground after the weilder dies, injuring (or killing) anyone who steps in its path

Oh god no! In Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, one time my connection was very laggy, when I killed people their gun would continue to go off in an unlimited loop. It didn't kill people but it caused me to hear BARAKARAKARAKARAKARAKARAKA for the entire match.

My eyes bleed everytime I remember that fateful day.
