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.
