Crysis 2 - glitches and observations pt. 2
4The last of my Crysis 2 glitches for now, until I go find some more.
I: a mysterious disappearing and appearing corpse.
II: yet another way to glitch up the weapons customization screen. All you have to do is to aim with a certain firing mode / scope of some weapons and Alcatraz won't enter customization pose for the menu. The grenade launcher add-on for some rifles or the laser scope for the handgun do this, for instance.
III: if you have a (Ranged) Scar in your hands, then switch to sidearm while activating grenade launcher mode, Alcatraz will take out the sidearm with his hands in the wrong pose.
IV: this also works when picking up a heavy weapon, causing a graphical glitch.
V: you can buffer both customization-menu and visor-mode to start at the same time. As expected, this glitches up the customization-menu in the sense that Alcatraz's weapon and hands are invisible.
VI: you can get your weapon stuck in the customization pose outside customization menu. I never took the time to figure out the exact way to recreate this glitch effect, but it has something to do with leaning and opening customization-menu.
VII: just a small physics oddity. The coffee cup tries to make a run for it.
VIII: another instance of getting weapon stuck in customization pose. Just one shot and things seemingly return to normal.
IX: an unique glitch mode that started after breaking free from a cover lean by equipping and unequipping the grenade add-on while covering. I couldn't recreate this one later either, though.
In this state, Alcatraz can't melee, reload or aim. You can shoot, but even that works in a slightly glitchy way - with a light button press the gun's shooting animation starts but no bullets fly out. Switching firing mode or jumping caused the game to reload the gun (?). Entering upgrade-menu ended the glitch.
X: yet another instance of gun getting stuck in customization pose. Weapon switching fixed the glitch as well.
XI: entering weapon customization of Scar (normal firing mode) while starting to lean lets you stay in leaning mode while not aiming. This doesn't let you do anything too crazy, though. Jumping or crouching ends the lean and teleports Alcatraz back to his original position next to the wall. Picking up objects in the middle of a lean also ends it.
XII: another clip of the same glitch. However, this time there is more about a curious side effect. After breaking out of the lean in an unintended way, Alcatraz cannot sprint - instead his stamina drains but there is no noticeable speed increase. Sometimes the picture is also very zoomed in, depending on what scope you had on the rifle.
XIII: one final clip of a gun getting stuck in customization mode. Eventually I got distracted by a barrel that was moving by itself...
