I meant in the way he talks. He never, ever sounds like he's doing it intentionally and is just a confused non-English speaker trying to play along with the "rules."

Was that the one where you ran faster while holding the care packing, or something else? If so, that one wasn't so much a glitch as abusing a design feature that never got patched out.

I know this thread already went over the Javelin glitch but that one was my favorite. I spent more time shooting javelin glitches in order to intentionally blow up my own team. So beautiful :allears:


(Basically, the Javelin glitch detonated whatever explosive you had equipped directly at your feet when you died. Javelin + Danger Close had a hilariously large explosion radius. Cue people running at you and either getting shot and blowing you up, or having them stab you in the face. Most javelin glitchers could easily have a positive K/D because of the sheer size of the explosion, which made pubbies even more mad.)

The goal of the CoD gungame is to get kills with each weapon. When you get X number of kills with a gun you get a new shiny one. Being knifed downgrades your gun by one level.

The care package glitch was part of some excellent Infinity Ward coding where hopping over a fence with a care package marker in MW2 would give you another care package. It worked for anything that got called in with smoke grenades, so with the right team at arbitrary points in game it would just start raining packages with random killstreak rewards nonstop.

The knife sets you back to the previous weapon in the gun game. If the person knifing is really good, they can make what is normally a five to ten minute game last for around an hour.

Oh yeah I remember that one. I never did it personally, but most people got so tunneled visioned with doing the glitch it was pretty easy to blow them up and steal all the packages. Personally I used the giant pile of packages as a pubbie shooting range.

I hated that glitch, the radius was so large that even if you were half the street away you'd still get damaged/killed by the explosion. It was kind of funny at first but it got rinsed to the point of every game having about 2 people per team doing that.

I always felt the care package knifing glitch was way better. You received like a 25% speed increase (which could be coupled with marathon and agility), a 25% health increase (which coupled with commando made you nigh invulnerable while teleporting through gunfire), and your character ran in a bizarre hunched over state, making you tricky to shoot or stab. A good knifer could clear out a spawn two, three times as people just spawned in around him. The amount of people yelling about hacks and telling you that they would report you or kill you... Some of the greatest games of my life. :allears:

A great ride that requires finesse and effort to get the best out of it.

The big thing about gun game knifing is that some of the guns are a huge pain to get a kill with. The sniper rifles in particular are NOT well-suited to a game mode that involves frantically running around trying to get kills as quickly as possible, so when you finally get a kill with a PITA weapon it's just a huge relief. Then some rear end in a top hat stabs you and you have to go through the ordeal again... it's incredibly frustrating if you're on the receiving end. So obviously all the funnier if you're the one doing the stabbing :laugh:

All this Gun Game talk and you all forgot the best part: the final weapon is the ballistic knife which lets you lunge at enemies whenever you melee with it. Speaking of CoD game modes, once you start bankrupting people in Sticks and Stones, it quickly becomes a tomahawk festival. People don't enjoy getting ballistic knife lunged at or being stalked by a tomahawk thrower who appears on their kill cam as holding nothing because they didn't make a first person animation of someone holding a tomahawk for more than 5 seconds.

Get Paid for Griefing

So, Path of Exile is an arpg in the Diablo 2 vein, complete with hardcore mode. Like all arpgs, low level characters want to be rushed through lower level acts and will often pay people to kill act bosses for them -- there's steady trade in advertising on the in-game party browser to kill the Act 3 boss for moderate amounts of currency, depending on the world difficulty (as in Diablo 2/3, after beating the last act in a given difficulty you restart in act 1 at a higher difficulty).
This grief will kill your in-game reputation, but if you don't regularly bother to kill bosses for pay then it's no great loss.

Minor, effortless grief:
Collect a party of people who all pay you the currency to kill the boss [sidenote: payment is always up-front in this situation, whether the boss killer is legit or not], then leave party and put them all on ignore.

rear end in a top hat grief:
Dominus, the Act 3 boss, has a very painful DOT that can kill you in seconds, especially if you're a bad or new player who doesn't carry a certain type of health flask. Because he's so dangerous, in a legitimate boss-kill scenario the killer will be in the instance killing him while the rushees will wait just outside a doorway where the DOT can't reach. This is a separate zone so they can't see what happens, but they still get credit for the kill if they're partied up with the person killing. You have to enter the zone after the boss is dead to talk to an npc, so after Dominus is dead the person doing the killing will give the all-clear to enter the instance.
So if you're of a mind to truly gently caress over some people eager to rush, you collect the money, enter the instance, wait until Dominus throws up his DOT and say "Come on in". Naturally, you want to do this in hardcore mode. Get paid and kill off their character in the process.

I recall in MW2 you could ruin a team or FFA on Favala while using Commando pro + Extreme conditioning Pro + Tactical knife on any pistol. All you had to do was path around the map and chase people through buildings or get at them while they're aiming off. Get to the top of a building - look for victims - jump from any height and proceed to destroy them. The lunge from commando plus the quickness of the tactical knife made it a stupid quick instakill combo which when combined with Favala's tight corners made it ruinous. Pepper in rewarads like UAV and other tracking allowed it to be that much more deadly. The amount of rage chat I experienced during those times kept it alive toward the end of that game for me.
