Weirdest Bug or Glitch in HL2, HL2:DM or CS:S

[Wilsonator]

Mine was in Follow Freeman when you kill the Lone Combine, the the Strider ducks underneath the bridge to chase you.

Instead of doing this however, it started walking- while it's head was still above bridge level so there was a pair of Strider legs walking through the tunnel, my squad frantically firing rockets at it and screaming but unable to hurt it, as it's head was above the bridge, the same reason it was unable to notice us.

After a very long walk it reached the end of the tunnel, it's head emerging. It turned around and massacred us. *sigh* :x

What are your strangest glitches and/or bugs?

This happened to me tonight, in Entanglement, at the teleporter scene, I brought one of my old turrets along for the defense. At a certain moment, Alyx brings in Eli, and my turret started shooting at the pod, the pod with Eli in it opened, and Eli dropped out like a dead fish. "Errr I don't think this was part of the plan. Sorry"

 

[.Jezus.]

It was bugless for me

 

[CookieCuttah]

My jeep got stuck in a bunch of trash... And I couldn't push it out for a while... Cuse all its wheels were stuck...

 

[^Ben]

For some reason the only bugs that happen to me are on my 2nd time through the game.

In anti citizen 1 where you see the strider attack the car and then kill the citizen on that little balcony, the IK decided it was a nice idea to place 1 of the striders legs on top of the balcony

 

[NJspeed]

I killed the Antilion Guard, scooped up the pheropods.. and then got assaulted by a group of antlions while I helplessly ran around throwing the bug bait.. to no use..

 

[Danimal]

At the light house point, after killing the gunship the medic that took you down to the secret tunnel just stood there screaming :|

 

[sfc_hoot]

For me, the sea on the coast was black with yellow spots in it. :rolling: Updating my ATI drivers fixed the problem. I never got any actual bugs, like the double Alyx, or buttons not working, levels not loading and so on.

 

[ne0_shiny]

no bugs except for sound stuttering and stuff like that...

 

[Eunoch]

the only real bug i got was that my crosshair was a Q and all the other sprites were screwed up as well. got my totally pissed off....

 

[Wilsonator]

Hm

At the light house point, after killing the gunship the medic that took you down to the secret tunnel just stood there screaming :|

Dementia, possibly?

 

[MiccyNarc]

Double Alyx here..nothing else too major comes to mind.

 

[Dead-Inside]

Well.. Lamarr screwed up my teleport I don't think THAT was a part of the plan.

 

[CREMATOR666]

Now that you mentioned that, I thought of one bug I experienced, in the scene where you are teleported temporarily to Dr.Breen's office, I sort of 'walked' out of the teleport zone and I'm stuck in Breen's office with him staring at me and a combine advisor on screen. I then uses cheat and kill Breen with the crowbar.

Not a bug but something funny that happened to me, in follow freeman, i was going through a house with about 5 or so team mates, and there was a brownish room with a big hole in the ceiling. In the back left corner theres a turret hiding in a little gap which i didnt notice. I walked out into the middle of the room and got a bullet in my back and turned around to see everyone dead! I beat up the turret in my frustration. RIP rebel buddies.

Strangely, that happened to me too but in my version, I also died soon after my mates because of the turret I was just wondering who the hell is shooting me! :hmph:

 

[Jezebel_DM]

At the Gate 5 sequence in the airboat section I pulled up next to the fence instead of the dock by the door you go through to get into the complex. I got out the boat as normal and found myself on the other side of the fence.

I got catpulted onto a roof by a strider somehow

And I died mysteriously while crossing the bridge between the two apartment buildings that the resistence member lets down and beckons you across.

[sfc_hoot]

Actually, now that I think about it, some strange things happened to me as well in Follow Freeman. I witnessed a female citizen walk right into a barrel. For some reason the barrel was catapulted at a tremendous force into another citizen, killing him on the spot! I also saw some of my squad members die for no reason! Like, I was leading them down the stairs, and one of them just started tumbling down, dead as a doorknob. Nothing hit him. Died for no reason. :|

 

[The Monkey]

I got the black-yellow sea and the twin Alyx. That's all, I think.

 

[Anubis214]

Mine was on Sand traps where you had to get across the beach by useing the G-gun to move planks. well I was useing a chunk or tin roofing and I think a door of somekind, well anyway I was on the door and the tin roofing was just under the edge of the door and I use the G-gun to try to pick up the roofing and next thing i knew i was 50ft in the air heading out to sea soon to be eaten by the little worm/leach things :x
EDIT: just remembered in Fallow Freeman just after alyx is captured I was walking on some metal pipes in the sewres and some Manhacks attack and i tryed to use the G-gun to grab a barrel but insted i grabed a card board box and launched it at a 'hack and soon after my comp froze

I had a fun one.

At the end of the canals level where you destroy the bomber chopper, and you have to leap the dam, There are the buildings you can get to on the left of the dam (are you supposed to go there? I managed by leaping onto a tiny, tiny little ledge of grass and bunny hopping - then there were a couple of combine) - Once round the side of the building, who should I run into? The G-Man. He just stood there, staring at me. I walked right up to him, and we stood, eye to eye. Then I tried to kill him, but he was having none of it. He just stood there. He followed me with his eyes, but he didn't move (apart from the shuffling most characters do)

Also, in Antcitizen One, in an upstairs apartment, there was a door which opened outwards with a zombie inside. I opened the door, despatched the zombie, but the door wouldn't close, and it blocked off the corridor. So my entire team was trapped! Trapped behind a flimsy wooden door with dodgy hinges.

 

[CREMATOR666]

The Gman's like that because he's waiting for his scripted_sequence to play which should be triggered by you walking in from the other way around

Where?? Not the buildings you pass on the way to open the dam gate? I never saw the G-man around there! Where! I want to see the g-man up close!

 

[$kelet0r]

I got the glitch with the strider walking through solid concrete!!!
Also when i rescued barney freom the snipers he walked to the edge of a ledge and kept saying come on gordon as if he wanted me to commit suicide by jumping off

 

[Reaper-X]

I didn't get any but I was watching my dad play the bit at the lighthouse where you leave of the buggy.
He was at the top of the lighthouse and had just shot down the dropship when the medic ran up and told him to follow. So my dad followed and half way down the stairs the medic seemed to trip and just collapsed in a heap at the bottom of the stairs. Then a new medic came running in and went down and opened the door.

 

[subtlesnake]

I got the Strider going through the wall thing. I was also catapulted through the air by a crouching Strider just before the big roof sequence.

Oh, and the first time through I jumped down without triggering the scripted Ant Lion Guard sequence in the prison level. In the next room there was loads of weapon fire but nobody doing any firing.

I had my team get stuck behind that same door. It was pretty lame when it happened.

My first one was at the lighthouse.
I thought to myself that it would be a great idea before the drop ships come...to run up to the top of the lighthouse, barricade the stairs with those green lockers and snipe the combine from the roof with the crossbow.
I did all that...got the gunship with the rocket launcher...went down stairs to find all the citizens dead.
I did'nt know about the door at the bottom of the lighthouse..and could'nt open it anyway.
So I stacked pallets and wardrobes onto each other near the edge of the ledge, cos I could see the ledge below the cliff, near the tree, Then I crouched and edged out on the pallets, dropped into the tree and onto the ledge, took a bit of health off, But then I could'nt go through the opening into the next level, ending up doing this 5 times, before someone eventually lived, and they showed me the door...DOH!

Also in Ravenholm, I got attacked by one of those Black poison headcrabs and as it flew towards me, I fired a burst from the machine gun, And the crab went over my head.
I could still hear the crab...squeaking...and kept running round shooting shadows..trying to find it..Eventually, I hid in a room, closed the only door into the room, And crouched down but could still hear the damn crab....Squeaking away...Eventually I realised...It was on my head!
I had to start from the beginning of Ravenholm to get rid of the damn thing..lol!

 

[CookieCuttah]

I only saw like 1 or 2 rebels die from combine gun fire, all the rest died from nades... And most of them died in packs of 4 and stuff...

 

[15357]

i hit a strider on its feet with a rpg, and the strider flew away

 

[ríomhaire]

I was driving the irboat my second time through and I drove into a barnicle. I didn't realise what was going on and when I looked up and I was already inside it but it didn't hurt me. I killed it and moved on

Another time I was messing around with spawning and god mode was on. I ran into a barnicle and it threw me half-way across the map.

Barnicles, make for wierd glithes.

 

[Teta_Bonita]

I ran in to a jail door in Nova Prospekt that would not open. I tried blasting it with the gravity gun, shooting rockets and grenades at it, I even restarted the enitre level before I realised that it wasn's supposed to be closed.
