Ok,
This is a topic I am pinning so that everyone can see.
I welcome anyone to post ways to combat glitches. This will help everyone to have a more enjoyable playing experience.


I will go first:

Situation:
The opposite team drops YOUR flag on YOUR store

Fix:
An STR member just told me yesturday how to do this.
A marine must blink directly onto the flag. The marine will not go into the store and the flag will be returned.

Situation:
The opposite team stands on YOUR store to camp and wait for your flag. Or to attack you without being able to be hurt.
Have a brute setup facing the enemy. It will auto target them. Use luck to make the death quick =P

If they are repetitive offenders, target (tap them) and allow the autofollow to pull you in range as they head toward the store. You will continue to shoot them without needing to touch the store.

Autotarget is a funny thing in INF...a toss of a coin really, unless you are a brute with a refreshed setup skill, and that's why I love them. =)

Situation:
Someone hides in an object or wall, where you cannot target them.

Fix:
Scouts...smoke, stimpack, smoke!
Everyone else is pretty powerless....grenades don't hurt enough and brutes don't have range weapons. =(

Phantasm, in complete sincereity thank you very much for the thorough documentation of these issues. We really appreciate the details on how the situations are created, the symptoms, and the remedy. It makes a huge difference on our end when we evaluate potential bug fixes, and it also helps players alleviate issues when they see them out in the field. Thanks again!

thank you for documenting the flag on store thing and how it really isn't an issue and buys at best a little time. People say it's cheating but I personally feel it isn't at all.

Ok so there is a spot in the hospitals park(by the bushes) were u don't take damage either and it will stop u from walking or blinking past it. Its like an invisable wall. Smoke works but frags don't

Also not realy a counter to it but in a fire fight a short range blink will turn the outher guy arround and a step forward leaves him auto targeting the air. if they tap u they won't shoot u they got to target were u blinked which is impossible to guess cus u don't acctuly move

The blink glitch snatches flags and will lag the crap out of u when u run away

Haggs, you're very welcome. I will make sure to post any other ones I come across, and I hope that others will do the same.


Absolute, it isn't cheating, but it isn't exactly fair play. However, as long as I can figure out a counter to it, people can do what they want.

Superman Thanks for the additions! I didn't know about the bushes. The blink is a standard marine fighting tactic, I use it all the time! But I didn't know about blinking in the same place....interesting. Explains a lot. I wondered why I would stop shooting someone for no reason! LOL I always blink behind the person to give myself leverage. IMO marines are the trickiest to fight and the most fun to fight with.

Glitch: Spawning on the green team Hospital table.

Counter: Scouts can sprint off it. Not sure about Marine or Brute yet.

[Phantasm]

Thank you Terencela and Leonhart!

Blink works on that table?! Awesome.

And yes, Leonhart, I hate hearing people on the chatbox "I'm stuck, what do I do?'

Situation:
If you are stuck in any way and are trying for more than 2minutes without a solution.

Fix:
Leave the game and re-enter it.

This counts for lag or any strange glitch you may encounter, the back button solves it all! Lol.

Wise words from Leonhart there.
