The weapon slide was awesome in gears of war. Made the game so much better, only glitch I've found that improved the game overall for all.
Weapon slide?
Please explain. :O
I'd have to say a glitch in my Scooby-Doo game as a child. Scooby-Doo smeared all over the screen. XD
On multiplayer, if you picked up a gun you couldn't move until you was done picking it up. You was locked in animation. Weapon sliding allowed you to flick the gun up and slide off, while still doing the emotion.
It's been fixed now, theres still ways of pulling it off but it's greatly limited and not really worth doing unless you're on canals and wanting to grab a sniper without losing your head.
It improved it because, if you went to pick up a power weapon chances are you'd get Lancered/sniped to hell and killed right off the bat. You could claim this was a good thing, it encouraged strategy and good team work to get the powerful weapons in the game, however that's giving the average XBL player to much credibility and Epic failed to realize the mass majority of players would be nothing short of retarded.
Whenever i had a team of friends playing, it worked perfectly and we could dominate i appreciated it then but solo with 3 randoms? Gah, nightmare.
