Gears of War Cheats And Glitches

By Shane | December 24, 2006

So last night I was playing a little multiplayer Gears of War when all of the sudden a few of the guys started venturing outside of the regular play area. The map that they showed me this neat trick was Tyro Station - the train level. Once one is on the train’s platform, you must then hug the wall on one side and then you’ll magically be on top of the wall. You then proceed walking down the wall until you…well just watch the clip that I video taped. Thanks to “CHEWYBOBCAT”, “EMONEY1821″ and “fAtl1P0988″ for taking me on this glitchy Gears journey. Music is by Final Fantasy from the album He Poos Clouds and the song is called This Lamb Sells Condos.

I asked myself if all this excess map usage outside the regular users point of view is really necessary? I’ve built game maps before and I can understand some polygons for the background but this is a bit much. Talk about a texture memory hog. Does Epic know about this glitch? Will it be fixed in the rumored ~Christmas eve patch? Who knows but until then, have fun trying to escape other maps if you can find a loophole so we can report these issues to Epic. While I’m not in favor of cheating, I do encourage trying to find other glitches so we can work them out for the next patch.

Why encourage people and escalate the problem? I've already had this happen to me numerous times (so the game ALWAYS ended in a draw), to the point I just plain don't play tyro station anymore unless I'm gaming with friends...

Isn't this the blog that did an interview with a cheater from Halo 2 and tried to make him look like an idiot for cheating?

Did you actually read the whole post? It's not a cheat per se it's a glitch and they're not for cheating.

It's much like all those difficult to reach spots in Halo 1. It seemed as if developers knew that people would eventually reach those places. I love having that kind of freedom to explore and exploit certain aspects of a level. However, these kinds of glitches should be fixed almost immediately in order to avoid ruining a session because some jackass or jackasses are only trying to get off the map. I hate it when someone in my team is goofing off, but even more when the entire opposing team is not even trying to play the game.

Qbix: Exactly. That's why it's good they're putting the word out there so that they'll fix it in the next patch maybe. I have that too btw.

Gears is probably one of the most glitchy multiplayer experiences I've ever had.
Just the other day I was playing ranked in Fuel Depot, when I climbed up a ledge in the warehouse and fell straight through the map. I then managed to get back through the floor, right behind someone and blew his head off. I couldn't hear him but I bet he was screaming at me for hacking.

My friends and I keep finding glitches and experimenting with them. There's one where you can roadie run and shoot at the same time, and it really gives you an unfair advantage.
And there are so many more.

The excessive use of textures in places you cannot normally go, its not a memory hog. All graphics renders on the fly as you view it, if you turn around the 360 will not keep it in memory but will re-render it when you turn back. Hence, they could create a whole country outside of the map and it would not matter.

Nick

Considering the game is only 2 months old, there will probably be more glitches found in the next 4 or so months that will be fixed until the game is solid in about half a year. This is true of almost any online shooter ever made with the exception of some, that were released at near perfection (quake 3 ftw).

Scott

Yeah, I read the whole post, but when people use this glitch specifically for the purpose of disapearing from the map so the time will run out so they never loose a round is cheating. Some people try way to damn hard for achievements.

cuthalofreak11

ya me and my friend are looking for gliches right now

John

what song is that playing during the video?

mike

i found rodeo glitch thought it was gay then there is one in mansion level were u can go through a wal and sit above the dorr way and then this and ive seen the fueldepot one to...ALL GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HaloGamer

I think the glitches are pretty tight.How is it cheating if it was already in the game.I encourage people to glitch and not try to get them covered up and gone.like in halo bungie found glitches that werent suppose to be and took them out.It saddens gamers when glitches are taken away from them like candy taken from a 5 year old.

Ha, I learned of the fuel depot glitch one night and than tried it out during a ranked match. I ended up under the main part of the warehouse on a slope that brings you back up into the level. Up there, there was a guy standing still watching the indoors. As he was looking around I began revving the chainsaw and walking up the slope so it had the effect of me coming through the floor. As he was sawed limbed to limbed I was blown apart with the shotgun. When asked how I did it I merely stated I had come from an emergence hole :) By the way, if anyone wants to send a message to Captin Kurt telling him that the Locust Lord Crimson Wasp has your (being you) undying loyalty it'd be much appreciated!!

some guy

theres a glitch on fuel depo where you can go under the level =p and you can get on top of the huge crates thats a diferent glitch though

some guy

whoops sorry i just said 1 of the ones you said =p

What's this I hear about a knife that can be unlocked with a certain combo of button pushes? I heard some guys in a multiplayer match talking about it.

Actually using these glitches is considered cheating. Under the filing complaints section if you select cheating it states, and I quote,"The player used known or unknown in-game or other exploits to influence the results of a game." Getting out of levels, roadie running while shooting, etc. is using known or unknown exploits to your advantage and cheating complaints should be sent every time they are used.

deveau14

how do you shoot and roadie at the same time, and if anyone has some free time to show me these glitches haha id be happy gamertag is - deveau14

peacee !

nk1666

id be happy 2 show u the glitchs as for the knife talk.its just talk, ive heard about a patch in feb with posible new weapons and various new maps. NOTE NOT THE 2 NEW LEVELS RAVEN DOWN, AND OLD BONES. MY GAMER TAG IS MY NAME HERE.... NK1666. BACK 2 THE GLITCHS... there are various, some well known and others not. like picking up an invisible weapon for example. also on the mansion level there are things that can only be seen outside of level map.. statues and faces. which you have 2 think that it is all intentional. beacuse can not be seen from anywhere else but outside.

in gridlock there are two pickups. Waste a bit of ammo and get cover at the back of the truck. Press up but don't press A just yet do an active reload and press it (A) at the same time. This causes you to fall through the truck bed and down beneath the map. You may die or respawn at the waterfront. I've only done it once but got it on the second try. Its cool though. Timing is crutial

gametag:ultimatechief00

i know a couple of glitches but thats it i would b so happy if ppl could help me learn some if ya can help plz add ma gamertag and send me a message on it ty

elboydo

it's actually quite sweet when u just fight near the containers in a 4 on 4 so it's rather like a lil war. i normally do it with my mates i have found my fave mapsa to find glithces are tyro,fuel deport, muasoleum , gridlock , mansion , and sum others but they all gd u just gotta be unlucky enough to stumble across em
