I think exploiting a little glitch is fine in single player when faced with an impossibly hard achievement that pretty much cannot be unlocked any other way.

But in multiplayer? No.

And it definitely does not take skill.

hell no. glitching doesn't mean you're skilled it just means you can make the game designer suck it.

I glitch all the time because I think it's interesting to find intriguing, diffucult to happen and funny bugs. It DOES NOT make me skilled. It makes me someone who can't think of anything else to do besides piss off the Q&A department.

Glitching is a substitute for skill when you lack it, hence why I do it all the time on L4D2 (the game is really hard and I'm not that good)>

Glitching is ok in one player situation.

But it ruins the fun in multiplayer games.

I really dislike glitchers, I never do it myself.

If you're not modifying the code of the game, then more power to you to exploit a glitch. If the developers missed something, and find it game breaking enough then they'll fix it. Until then it's fair game. I'm tired of the "boo-hoo, I can't play my game the way I want to play it" mentality. The other person is playing the game how they want to play it, using things coded into the game. Stop crying and man up. Things don't always go the way you want, and if you want the excuse "I play videogames to have fun!" then realize that the people fragging your ass also play videogames to have fun. If you aren't having fun because someone is killing you in an FPS, then maybe you should play another game, or play single player. Some of the funnest times I've had in on-line games is when someone was exploiting a bug, and finally figuring out how to get around it and kill them. Overcoming challenges can be very satisfying.
If you're exploiting a glitch that's certainly an indication you're not playing for fun but for stats. I've never seen the point of it because to me it's not fun to e.g. sit down in a corner up in the air in counter-strike (map: de_dust) and camping happily killing everything before they realize you're 50 feet above them.

Honestly, I never had a problem with Javelin Glitch.

I guess its because I'm a pretty calm guy when it comes to videogames. I just think "He can Jav glitch now, but I guess I'll just make a Jav class next game, and do it to his team"

Hmmm Glitching in general is bad and should not be used or needed in competitive play .....BUT.....
If your good at a game you should know everything about it including the glitches you just shouldn't be a douche and use them.
I make it a point to learn every glitch so I can DESTROY people that use them.

Setting out to break a game doesn't make you talented, it makes you a dick.
One of my lecturers said something about glitching. Some along the lines of it can be very frustating the first time you spend months or years on a game, to have groups of people that go purposely out of their way to break the game so they can complain about how shit your game is on internet forums.

You know.. I have held back an anurism for years from many things that just blow my mind that people can believe (Sciencetology is right up there)

But when I hear people in games like Modern Warefare 2, or worse, Smash Bros Brawl talking about how glitching takes skill and only noobs whine about losing to them... I have to ask...

Does ANYONE else out there actually believe this rubbish?

And if not (or even if so) what game do you hear people praising glitching as some "Mad Skill" and perfectly acceptable and fair?
Glitching is fine by me. As long as the developers let you do something, why not do it? Unless, of course, its a SP game and you've found an infinite life glitch, that's just ruining the challenge of the game.

So MP = fine, SP = bad.

If someone finds a glitch, fine. If they then use it over and over purposely, then they can piss off.

I hate it when I hear the douchebag weedheads at school bragging that they "found" a map glitch

Three reasons why this is pathetic:

1) They all suck at the game, so it's a moot point
2) They didn't find it, they googled "OMG MW2 MAP GLITCHEZ" and clicked on the first result
3) The glitches are very often "escape the map" glitches that achieve nothing and give them no benifit to the game

However, they like discussing them, as it makes them feel part of the gaming subculture

ONE THAT I AM PART OF, and yet they do not realise it!

BWAHAHAHAHA

I watch them with patronising mirth!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

I pretty much stopped playing shooters online when being a competitive player stopped requiring you to improve your your skills and actually learn how to be a better player and started to become learning and then exploiting every bug, glitch and parts of the map that were poorly designed that unfortunately exist in the game. Sure a lot of the old shooters were full exploiting the game, but they were less about exploiting problems with the game and more about using the systems that the developer put in place in ways they didn't anticipate. It's emergent gameplay, which is quite frequently a mark of a great game. The things people do now are absolutely nothing like skiing in Tribes or rocket jumping in Quake, which actually was a skill in and of itself.
