BR firing glitch.

Anyone else remember that glitch in halo 2/3 where you were firing your BR in swat, and you quickly switch to your pistol only to shoot yourself in the back of the head?

If not, breif tutorial. Fire BR 3 times, on the fourth fire, before it shoots, switch weapons, you have now killed youself with a back of the headshot (swat.)

Anyone think that its a possibility that such a glitch might accidentally work its way into halo 4, just like previous games? I think it would be unsettling to many people, what would your reactions be?

Yes lets include glitches in the game…

-.-

Because the unfair exploitation of a glitch is totally fair and skilled.

I’m just wondering if it wil return, not asking them to put it in the game…

And lets face it, some of the more fun things in halo 2 were the glitches.

I’m just going to point out that this particular glitch helps the enemy team, but the enemy team cant exactly exploit it.

I don’t want a glitch that could kill me to be in Halo 4.

It would only really kill you in swat, and you have to actual try to be using it…

The likelyness of it happening in a real match are very slim, as noone really swtiches their weapon in swat, and it doesnt kill you in slayer.

But it still hurts me either way.

> But it still hurts me either way.

Once again, you literally have to be trying to perform it.

I don’t think they are going to bring back a glitch that can kill you or do damage to you in anyway.

I’m not asking them too… Its not like Bungie put it in on purpose. The problem was, when you pulled the trigger the gun had to shoot, so if you switched weapons a fraction of a second after you pulled the trigger, the gun would end up on your back, killing you.

I am simply speculating whether or not it will return, or if 343i has found some way around this.

I think this happened to me once in Halo 2. They probably are using the Reach engine, so I doubt it would be a problem.

But we had no way to test if it worked in reach. For all we know it still could. The problem was the weapons were to slow firing to be able to check if it worked…

For all we know it still could…

On a side note, Yeah, i did this to myself alot (on purpose). Since i didnt have live, i began exploring glitches and easter eggs a lot… This just happened to be one that i found… by accident.

Well seeing as Frankie absolutely despises weapons/ button glitches, I doubt they will be there.

Huh, No.

They’ve already conirmed that Halo 4 will be running on the Halo 3 engine, so it’s very likely that the glitch will be there as I can’t really think of a way to patch a glich like this.

Well, it’s no real problem so it could be left anyhow, old engine and they got more important stuff to fix, but it would look bad if they fail to fix a several years old glitch, no matter how useless it is.
After all, I see no reason to include it anyhow ^^

Well hello there necroposted thread…

This is false. The game is being built around a completely reworked and heavily modified Reach engine, which is a heavily modified Halo 3 engine, and so on and so forth.

Just because you can’t find a way to fix a glitch does not mean professional programmers can’t.

Besides, usually glitches has nothing to do with what engine you are using.

And Halo 4 is based of off the Reach engine.

oooooh, donut…GLITCH!
