Most useful bug in a game?

[sirdanrhodes]

F.E.A.R. 2, fire a grenade right before you let that guy out of the compression chamber, the cutscene stops.

In BF2 my grapics used to bug, so everything not close to me got some fucked contrast... it sucked when people stood in front of something, cuz i couldn't see them, but in strike at karghan when i played as MEC i could snipe the USMC from absurd distances, because distance didn't blur things... also is the distance was right, buildings didn't show, but people did.

I also played Half life over LAN with a friend, and it somehow bugged making him extremly fast, think it had something to do with him having dual core proccesors, and some technical stuff i didn't get. Anyways, he could run past trip mines, because he was long gone b4 they exploded, he empried clips in no time, and when i saw him and started shooting, he could run all the way around the map and hit me extremely fast with the crowbar b4 i had empied half a clip.

Wait, does it still count if it was later patched?

In Final Fantasy 7 you could use the w-item materia to multiply any object that you had two of pretty useful to have 99 megalixirs Weapon fight become so much easier

Morrowind had an alchemy bug that could easily be abused to reach godlike powers for your char. on all available stats.

Yet, I never exploited it

TF2 bug that allows you to jump farther and higher by pressing crouch after you jump.

That's not a bug, it's in every source game.
Abused in CSS to jump over desks and other low objects. Sometimes used to jump on top of other players and reach new areas.

That sounds more like a speed hack or severe lag than a dual core related bug.

I would have to say jumping walls in Mario kart 64. As well as running on wall ledges in Cod4 during multiplayer rounds. It also makes me a dirty cheater. Lastly I miss the fixed glitches in Left 4 Dead. Jumping off building sides into tress bypassing the hord!

Ain't that Street Rod?
if not, then:
Street Rod. Buy cheap car, strip it, sell it for shitloads of money. (but not too much, because then you would go over in -money:/)

No, yeah, that's the cheat. Street Rod was '89; Hot Rod was '88 and not PC. I always get these kids mixed up.

It is, especially when you are destroying your keys to do the sequence.

In Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, sometimes the little chronies the final boss spits up, for whatever reason, become invincible. This sounds like a game breaker and it probably would be if, say, the boss itself jumped out of reach when it spat up its helpers instead of staying on the platform, but as long as there's any of his little helpers are left, the boss itself won't attack you. This happened in one botched attempt, then in two stages of the time I beat him. Sure, I had the little buggers chasing me and nipping at my heels, but there were only at most two of them and I was able to bunnyhop around the platform and pop ammo into the actual boss at my leisure without having to worry about it attacking me, or accidentally killing off the rest of his helpers.

I'm actually too young to even remember it from it's prime, but i still played it lots growing up

Most useful bug in a game... Issun.

While not really useful... I love the physics bugs in Fallout 3. Shooting a dude in the head and watching his body fly 100 feet in the air is so entertaining.

Yeah, the eighth, too. I see that.

well i sad next to him, and i know he wasn't using a hack... He was as suprised himself, and it was everything he did, running, attackspeed (rate fo fire) and reload speed.
It stopped when he temporarily disabled one of his cores
