Spec Ops: The Line - small glitch ideas and oddities
9Tried to find some glitches from this cool game. Kazooie was present and maybe was a co-player in some of the clips.
I: the most intriguing finding. Basically, the first vault spot in the game is glitched, and if you repeatedly jump over it close to the sand, your main character starts sinking into the ground. You can't really do anything with this, because if you start moving, you just pop back up on ground level again.
However... occasionally when brushing against an obstacle after doing this, your character flies up in air a little bit. In this clip I harmlessly "jump" in air for a moment, but previously I managed to go OoB using this strange phenomena. It's especially interesting that you can take the glitch with you and activate it wherever by brushing against a wall. Unfortunately to this day I don't know how to reproduce it consistently, it just sometimes happens.
II: waiting next to collision while sliding down a sand dune, the dune sometimes pushes you over the nearby collision. This isn't useful in Chapter 1, at least, but maybe other, more useful spots are available elsewhere in the game.
III: at certain types of corners, being in crouch aiming mode and pushing against walls while turning leads to your main character sliding inside the corner. He goes outrageously deep into walls, but so far you can't go OoB using this trick... you are always pushed out of walls, no matter what you do.
IV: in Chapter 5, there's a table that the protagonist is willing to vault over diagonally (a rarity). But vaulting diagonally, the table is too long to be vaulted over, so he ends up on top of the table at the end of the vault. Another way to get on top of collision... As CrucialSuicide has shown, you can even go OoB with vault in some places if you're lucky enough to find a good spot for it.
V: for some reason the protagonist lost his voice and his mouth became stuck open. Possibly because we hit and vaulted over stuff while an NPC voice clip played in the background. Hey, it's a little early to act a shell-shocked veteran, we're only in the first screen of the game...
