Corner Glitching, How Do You Feel About It? | Forums

[JonjeyXCore]

doesnt the game actually recommend this tactic.

I'm sure I saw it on a loading screen in-game or on website in the officially released hints and tips maybe.

I could be mistaken.

If it does then that just reinforces what I was saying to begin with.
I think that it's so rampant that it's just become something that's accepted. You never know, in the next Call of Duty it'll probably say "If you go up to a wall that is just below your camera's height, you can shoot through it without being seen by the enemy!" as a tip. It's really the same thing lol, but in third person games it's just so widely accepted that it's become just a good 'tactic'.

Ok u just proved how little u know about gr. what ur tryin to concider a corner glitch is rather a more skilled player 3rd personing the corner better than u! I'll enlighten u a little bit. A corner glitch is where the bullets go through the object. In older games to accomplish this u had to lean n zoom in however the easiest way to discribe how to do this in grfs is on the stone bridge on mill instead of taking cover on one of the three barriers go into cover off the bridge itself inch up to one of those corners until u see the crosshairs apprear than hip fire. If done correctly ur bullets will fly right through the concrete. Just a tip from the best corner glitcher in gr history!

Read what I said to the other guy. Lol. A corner glitch is exactly what I described, and exactly what you described, because we described the same thing. If you can barely see my elbow and my bullets are hitting you, how is that fair? I said I do it lol, so it's not even a "I'm so mad because this guy beat me doing this" thing, it's a "Isn't this kind of unfair?" thing.

Hi there, we all know very well what corner glitching is, but just in case someone here has never played a TPS game before, I'll fill them in;
Corner Glitching is when a player walks up to a wall, instead of getting on cover, they aim in and barely get their crosshairs around the corner, revealing nothing more than their arm to the enemy, who is usually on cover, behaving as he should, and sticking his head out waiting for you to poke your head off cover so he can shoot you before you can shoot him...
I've seen a few times on these forums that people have given that as advice, as if it were similar to drop shotting or even jump shotting. But the fact is, it's not like drop shotting, it's more like head glitching(In FPS games your PoV is from your characters head, but the gun is as well, so your bullets are actually coming from your characters head, leading you to be able to shoot directly over cover with just a fraction of your head showing to the other team.)
As far as I'm concerned, I think it's pretty lame of someone to intentionally corner glitch on a regular basis. I won't lie, if I'm the last alive on stockade or siege, I do it. But I see people that just don't get in cover, they pretend this is CoD's Third Person game-mode where there is no cover, just pure corner glitches all day long.. I don't understand it, it's not like there are killstreaks in this game, is intentionally exploiting the workings of the camera angle to get the upper hand over someone who is trying to play fair really that important to you?
Anyway, what are your thoughts on the issue? And don't say "It's not a glitch if it's in the game." or any ridiculous statement like that, we all know Head Glitches, Corner Glitches, and all sorts of other glitches are exploited on a daily basis to the point where it's just become something that you either have to do or just have to live with. The real issue is that there are really no ways for game makers to fix these issues... Thus making people think it's okay to take advantage of. Tactical advantage or not, it's still exploiting the inner workings of the game.

That's not corner glitching. Thats called a tight angle. Was the novel really worth it?
Even the in game tips tell you to do it.

The only way u can corner glitch in this game is as mentioned before...if u can see ur elbow however slight it is, is just nasty angle. If u still disagree go shoot a few clips through the middle of a rock n look for a elbow.

I hate to burst you bubble here but, your so called "corner glitch" only works over your right shoulder. Try it over you left, you will hit the wall before your target. Reason why: YOur charcter shoulders his gun on the right side, he will not switch shoulders like kozak in SP. Wheather you call it a corner glich or not, try it in real life, shoulder a piece of cardboard like a gun(if you don't have a gun, and if you do, don't point the thing at anyone empty or loaded.) Look down said piece of card board like iron sights, Slowly pop you head and gun around a corner, see how much of your body is visiable to a friend or camera(preferably the latter, don't want to point a gun at anybody now). Then do the same form being posted on the wall. Tell us what you see tell us witch one shows a greater target.

I can tell you, Soldiers don't post up on a corner and pop out, they do whats called pieing a corner. Exactly what you describe as a corner glitch.

And the fact you can only see his elbow, can be linked to a little lag, I notice that all the time. I usually have a decent connection, so I see the whole sholder and gun on other people, but they typically tell me all they got was my arm to shoot at.

Not glitching

[ALKY-]

Never heard of any of the glitches mentioned. It seems that your just angry. I got angry at COD a few times for the lack of a clean shot on someone that you can barely see their head ye they can see you fully. Its part of the game.

[JonjeyXCore]

@njomach3; Yes.
@RajunKajun59; Soldiers also can't see around corners or go invisible, I'm not worried about what soldiers are doing in real life, I'm worried about fair gameplay.
@ALKY-; As I stated multiple times in this thread, I'm not angry, because I do it all the time. I just think it's an unfair tactic, just like what you mentioned (And what I have compared it to several times in this thread.) in CoD. That's the issue at hand, that it's still part of the game. In CoD or BF3(Any fps) you can walk up to any wall that is just under head-height, and shoot clean over it while the enemy can barely even see your hairline. It's the same exact thing as corner glitching, hense why it's called head-GLITCHING. In old TPS games it was called corner glitching, now it's simply called a part of the game, and I don't personally agree with that. The next CoD will hopefully have an in game tip that says "Go up to cover just below your point of view so you don't get owned." and maybe then people will see where I'm coming from lol.

I remeber corner glitching to be when you stick to a wall perpendiculat to the one you want to shoot thru and inch up to it so you can't bee seen but you can shoot around it. (R6:Vegas)

And you didn't read what I later wrote, Most of it can be attributd to lag in this game. I have seen people try to pie a corner, and seen their shoulder and gun(enough to shoot) and then a very few just their elbow. I have a decent connection myself, so I get told quite often that people just see my arm. Also, it only work over your right shoulder, it will not work from the left (you have to pretty far off of your cover to even shoot around it with out exposing your whole body, even then it still doesn't work.) Not saying your connection sucks, but I have not noticed as being as big of an exploit as the the FPS headsploit. Most of the time I see it I am in scope and can clearly see their gun and that side of their head.(although from a distance with a red dot, I see how it would look like an elbow.

It is what it is and everyone in this thread seems like they use it so, I dunno?

It's called corner shot, and a jugle ghillie suit for jungle snipers.

the reason people walk into walls isnt to do some kind of cheap camera or perspecive trick. They do it so they can take cover behind a wall without going "into" cover.

There is a crosshair bloom when youre behind cover and then come out to aim, However if youre not in cover that bloom doesnt happen.

I've tried doing it, if it does provide any real benefit.... its very marginal.When i do it i don't always win, also i mow people down ALL the time who are doing this "trick".,,From my expirements the crosshair blooming really only plays a role in your ability to successfully make a long range shot (targets in close range are so big that the initial bloom isn't a huge problem). However this trick isn't useful for long range shots because youre not going to hit any long range targets while standing and walking.

It's a confused strategy, and it's perhaps more of a placebo effect for the user. I don't have anything against it besides that it looks dumb. If anything i like the strategy because when I come up behind someone who i see doing this I know their not paying attention to their surroundings and my first thought is "quick switch to tazer!!!"

I really don't understand this. People that don't use the cover system are harder to taze than people using the cover system. Plus, when not using the cover system, it's easier to check your surroundings. And, when you use cover, you are basically automatically dead when you get shot at; when not in cover, you can easily move to get out of the way from being shot. The 'trick' isn't for long range kills either because you'll want to ADS for those anyways. Lastly, it's not a placebo effect as I started not using the cover system because how many times I got screwed out of kills due to the cover system in the beta, it wasn't because I saw other people doing it.
