Most annoying bug/glitch/cheat in a video game

[HaloHappy]

Wether it's the new Javelin glitch in MW2, (Which has been patched I believe), breaking down the door in No Mercy in a versus round with Left 4 Dead, or some other famous glitch. All have been used by jerks out there to gain an upper hand and cheat in an online game. But just which is the worst out there?

I took the time to collect all of those fucking dead birds in the first Condemned and it didn't unlock the achievement for it. I had all the others except that one.

As for cheat, any time someone uses noclip on a console game. somehow.
as for bug, for me it would be falling through things. The accused: Fallout 3.

when you defib someone in the elevators in L4D2. part hilarious, part annoying glitch.

One word: bunnyhopping. Especially in games where it's not actually a "feature" and you have to use some lame scripts and stuff to pull it off.

Pokemon has an extremely annoying bug in that it only appears to affect the player.
Moves that are listed to always hit the target have a 1/256 chance of missing. While this is not a huge problem, it usually happens on the attack that would allow you to defeat the enemy.

Fortunately this was patched in later games, but it still sucks and it's happened enough times that I missed while also one hit removed from defeat.(especially against that damn alakazam)

Sounds like that would be a quirk in the hexadecimal code. I'm guessing a randomly generated 00 or FF would probably cause that, but it could easily be anything else. (I'm not really familiar with the engine)

Sounds like you get really unlucky though.

Anyway; here's the thing that always earns my ire...

Several glitches and exploits in Gears of War 1/2 online. Like crabrunning, shotty pistol, and the quick aim and shoot.

probably the one when i was playing one oblivion mission for hours and when i finaly made it, i could not do it, and it was the thieves guilds last mission! i was pissed off and i just stopped playing for a while

Falling through shit in Fallout 3.

Left 4 Dead 2 has a tons of bugs, reviving survivors in elevators and the ever annoying stupid tank spawn which puts you at a point where you cannot possibly hurt the Survivors until they drop down a hole which they won't do until you lose control.

Going out of the map. There was one memorable incident in GoW1, in which it was just me and some other guy vs a full enemy team. My team mate apparently had this thing against losing, and went outside the map until the time ran out every round, making the round a tie and making the match last 20-something rounds (he died b/c the enemy team used hammer of dawns, which apparently work outside the map too).

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The glitches have become the main gameplay feature.

 

[MortisLegio]

any glitch that allows players to get off map or into scenary

 

[Jared]

any glitch that allows players to get off map or into scenary

Agreed. Same with there weapons and bullets too..why bother playing if you dont want a real challenge?

But yeah, clipping is annoying

 

[Cargando]

There is one extremely annoying one on CoD5, on castle. Going under the map, where you can still fire on people, but they can't fire back. Extremely annoying.

 

[Daymo]

Any game where bunny hopping or something similar makes you move faster then walking or running. I don't want to have to keep hitting jump or get a script just to keep pace with all the other players.

I was playing team deathmatch in Uncharted 2 one time and this guy on my team somehow fell through the floor but he could still do a one hit kill as if he were hanging from a cliff. The other team couldn't see him so he'd just grab them as they went by. We won the game so I didn't find it annoying but I bet some people on the other team did

A bug in the dialogue made all of KotOR II crash... Every time. Thank god for patches.

TASVideos calls it a programming oversight, so it'll probably be the RNG hitting 00 and the game assuming it means 0 damage/miss but it's never explained in a submission or in the forum.(the resources page simply says it's a programming oversight, nothing more)
