Sounds like the team could do with some help finding all those annoying wee bugs:

(Bug of the Day: attempting to throw grenade causes you to throw your assault rifle. Last resort attack when out of ammo? #TakeThat)

To the Devs:
We can help! Just give us access now and we'll whinge and complain endlessly at all the bugs we find.

Go on, you know you want to

Haha, that needs to be made a permanent addition to the game. Top tier cert only, of course. Only the best can throw their rifle at the enemy with such skill and accuracy.

Something like this ? I can see the NC doing stuff like this in the heat of battle. TR,not so much, and VS wouldn't want to damage thier shiny purple stuff,but NC,yea, we do whatever is needed to get the job done.

One of the best scenes from SPR.

Do want.

I love that game engines can support strangeness and have unpredicted effects even for the developers.

I remember back before Oblivion came out they were saying how they'd written an NPC AI and they literally had to leave PC's on running it to see what the characters did, because they had to clue.

Sadly, reminds me of that first dragon encounter on Skyrim, pressed the wrong button and threw my bow on the floor and spent the whole battle looking for it in the flora while the guards killed the dragon.

This bug must be hilarious

PeteHMB · 2012-05-09, 10:08 AM

I think some bugs should be left in intentionally...don't even make it a cert option, just have it where if you run out of ammo there's a *chance* that continuing to fire will make you throw your rifle instead of just hearing *click*.

Lets hope some funny bugs are left in for us to find!

I always think some of the quirks we find in games are alot of fun.

I may be mistaken but wasn't skiing in Tribes unintended originally and just a quirk of the engine?

Other things I enjoyed were:

Wing walking in BF1942

Throwing nades at peoples feet on no friendlyfire BF42 servers, they go flying in the air and insta die on landing (sorry to anyone I did that to)

Juggling equipment in Tribes 2, constantly thowing all your equipment away and catching it again.

Using the MAV as lift in BF3 or as a flying C4 platform.

C4 Jeeps in all BFs

I'm sure theres loads more, thats all I can remember at the moment. Some of these bugs/quirks are good fun, some are just pure grief (still fun).
