Snatch & grab glitch?

[SwitchBlade]

I just saw this for the first time today, we were playing gridlock and a guy named BlackJak on the other team was somehow picking up weapons without actually "stopping" to pick them up. He would roadie run to them, then do the "picking item up" animation while sliding across the map, and then instantly be back to roadie running again. It really threw us for a loop since we were all lining up our shots at the nades to start pounding him when he stopped, and he never did. Just ice skated through grabbing the nades in the process.

This was something completely different than the permanent roadie run glitch, he moved at normal speed otherwise. It was strange....anyone else came across this?

I'd report his tag to Epic so they can check it out.

thats exacticly what its called the snatch and grab glitch i know how to do it but ive never done it since the first time i was taught it and ive never taught ne1 else so i guess the founder has been teaching some people it and now its exploited.

I actually just saw a video of it on you tube. Doesn't explain how to do it but, but we actually figured it out pretty easily. This doesn't seem to be that bad of a glitch, doesn't affect much other than not being sniped so easily when you pick up weapons...

yea i've seen people doing this before it has been becoming pretty popular over the past couple of weeks

thats almost like balancing the game out lol like the host when he goes to snipe some1 its way easier but if they didn't have to stop to pick up a weapon then the host will have a much harder time getting the snipe

I think Im done playing this game. To many lame children willing to glitch to win. Thats what happens when a game sells 2 million+ copies.

I do it on Canals if the other sniper beat me there, you just roadie along the wall until you reach the sniper then release the roadie button and your guy will move as he picks the sniper up.

Thats what I do for that same reason if the other sniper is camping right there.I never knew you could do it on another lv.

This can be done on any level with any weapon, you just run up to the weapon and hit A and X at the same time while your over the weapon(kind of like super jumping) it can also be used to curb stomp or revive someone who is downed. I think its something that needs to be fixed as i see it being used more and more in clan matches and will have a major effect in any online tourneys.

i hope A patch comes out before january 9th...with the MLG Tournament starting for $5000 dollars I'd hate to lose a match because someone was taking advantage of the games problems.

MLG knows about all these glitches and doesn't allow most of them. If anyone does glitch they're out of the tourny. This weapon pick up isn't a biggie and might be accepted.
