Yes I know theres those stupid glitches that ruin games (glares at CoD's Makin map) and those that make it simply boring (again, glares at CoD's ammo glitch) but what im talkin about here are those that dont really affect anything andmade you chuckle(I.E, CoD when u kill the guy with the katana in the first level and the radio dude gets stabbed by nothing and dies anyway) or go um what the %$^! (the good kind).

One of mine would be in Gears 2 i chainsawed a sire in the story but he walked away so marcus stood still screaming his head off and when he died the sire fell down in two pieces :question:

When Halo 2 was first released, there was this glitch where if you had an energy sword on the passenger seat of the warthog, you could aim it and strike at an opponent, then have that person run to the other side of the map, and as soon as you got out of the warthog you'd go flying across the screen toward them (but they made a patch to fix it lol).

Originally Halo 3 had an odd physics/latency glitch that me and my freinds called 'Bouncing'. This involved being meleed and instantly meleeing, this had the effect of killing the player as long as the damage would normally be fatal, and sparing your life if it might have been a fatal hit. On top of saving you, the opponents corpse flew acrossed the map with ridiculous speed, bouncing about like a rubber ball.

There is a funny one that sometimes happens in Battlefield 2 - if you revive a teammate too far from their kit they spawn without weapons, and usually with their arms in really weird positions. They then run about flailing their arms and are very funny when they try crouching or crawling :D

In Saints Row 2 there are quite a few glitches. When I mow down a crowd of people on a sidewalk with my car sometimes a person will get stuck in the hood of my car. What's funny is their upperbody will wiggle around in circles really fast while they're stuck in the hood :lol:

In TF2 for the xbox 360 gravity can be lowered and when you jump you go flying in the air, I'm not sure if it's a glitch it's probably a hack but whatever. It's still amusing from time to time though it doesn't hold my attention for long.

There's no such thing as a harmless glitch. A glitch is an indicator of sloppy quality assurance and for the money we spend on gaming it is always unacceptable

I've been playing Halo 1 a lot recently and this has happened twice. Right before a cutscene, if you dont kill every enemy, they continue in live combat during the cutscene. Last weekend I was playing andin the cutscene wherethe Chief finally found the flood-infected Captain Keyes, a flood hit him over and over again until he died. But the cutscene continued as if he were alive.

All of Halo 2. The glitch community in that game was amazing and it added so much replayability to the game.

Halo 3, if someone dead impacts the ground or a wall at high speed their limbs seem to stretch out like they are bungie cords. It's fun to watch in slow motion in theater mode. I have a great screenshot of it.

Every now and again in Team Fortress, someone's weapons will disappear, so they're just walking around holding nothing. It's amusing to see someone "casting" rockets from thin air.

Haha yeah i love that one. It's kinda weird though because when you fight them it's slightly hard to see what they're using from far away. Also i just remembered on 2Fort i got stuck between a door frame on the top of the base(Jumped up and my head got stuck). I could still shoot but i couldn't move so after alittle bit a sniper headshot me lol.

Before the first patch occasionally when you killed someone with the melee their bodies would go sailing in the sky, team rocket style. That was always funny. In Halo Wars some times when flying units bump into each other they summer sault. It's kinda funny. IN both Gears games some times dead bodies will get all stretchy, like rubber.
