This glitch allows you to boot your opponent by running straight into him/her without having to jump against him/her (kinda like a bump)

Here's how it works, it's really not hard to figure out:

• Hold [your jump key], which makes you jump once.
• Without releasing [your jump key], run into your enemy.

So as I stated before, it's a well known trick for most of the players that ever come to knife only servers, but I've been surprised it's not described in this forum. I guess FS team must be aware of it as well, but was that an intentional feature?
That's what I want to know.

EDIT: reuploaded the (crappy) video

Why is this consider a glitch?

Don't know the history but seems to be a logical feature addition for those who play CTF who complain that their own team mates gets in the way.

Stating why you think it's a glitch is a lot more helpful.

To clarify this:
This is not about normal booting(booting enemies by jumping against them), which is indeed a useful feature,
but about booting by merely walking into an enemy(you achieve that by holding your jump button and walking against enemies).

Admittedly the first demo didn't show that really well, but in this new video, you can clearly see the blue player jumping(+ holding the jump button) before he gets near the enemy and then booting him, by just walking against him.

In knifing community(yes, there are people playing knife only) "booting without jumping" is generally recognised as a glitch and quite hated by some people(me included), so it would be cool to see it fixed(that would maybe even get more people into playing knife only).

If it really is no glitch, and the way it works is intended(which would be really weird, cause nothing is written about that anywhere on the official UrT-site or ingame, and it was only known by a few people for a really long time) it would be cool, to hear an official statement about that.

If its not a glitch or bug, then why is it not in the manual ? its not something you find out easily on your own...

[strayA#Pez]

definitely a glitch, if we want to boot someone, jumping should definitely be required to do so. If walking into someone with jump held down boots a player and is labelled not a glitch then we should be able to boot them without holding it as well, but that would be unreasonable.
Add it to the list of bugs 4.2 has, it should only add a few months onto the update date.

I don't know how to code, but i'm guessing its programed to boot someone anytime the jump button is activated rather than when we are in the air/when we press it

The boot glitch is totaly a bug that has not been fixed over urt upgrades.
Moreover, as Loch said, on urban terror there exists a community of players who enjoy playing on knife only servers.
And the majority of the knifers clearly consider the boot glitch as a bug that should be taken away!

You can read some of the players opinions on urtknifers forums, as in this thread for example:

Oh and I really started to dislike "the glitch" more and more and I'd really like that to be fixed in future updates.

As for the glitch, yes. The people who consider it a nice urt bug are probably mostly the people who couldn't knife for sh*t if it got fixed. But it really just has to be fixed. It has screwed any knife cup ever to be held and knifing in general. By simply glitching while holding W and smashing left mouse button fast, you can be considered a good knifer nowadays. Now, is it just me or does that sound like it takes absolutely no skill at all? That's sad.

The reason they disabled throwing your last knife was obviously to prevent fastknifing, cuz it's a bug that gives the 'performer' a pretty unfair advantage on other players. So, why couldn't it be the same with this glitch?

Quote

As for the glitching thing. Just today i've discovered something that will mean they MUST fix it. Hard to explain but there was one dude running around pretty much infiniglitching everybody as in... Like, everytime he ran into somebody, that person got booted. And he did this without having to 're-glitch' after each boot. I'll try to get a demo next time i see it and maybe report it to FS as well.

FS should take a deeper look at knife-only IMO...

The reason I stated this is because I thought Biddle may have had the chance to tell Holblin about this during the 2k12 UrT Lan in Paris. but meh, no news since

Yes they are aware of it, of course. I'm talking about a general community impression, so I can't really precise "people".

Hmm yeah I forgot to mention that I've been able to boot twice in a row this way (without having to re-press the jump key, as one usually do to use the glitch again). That's not in this video cuz I noticed it after... I don't know if there's really a way to 'infiniglitch', but if so, I think it might be a script...

Hi, I was trying something that relates whit this booting glitch.

You will jump and holding your jump key like in this booting glitch but you run into enemy with Primary weapon (he must be on slant place) w8 for a while and than you will switch to knife or sidearm and you will kick him 2, 3 or more times at the same time and he will "fly away".

I made a video, thing that I'm talking about is starting at 0:15



PS: I'm not sure if that's not really working in 4.2 I was testing that slapdash ......

Hey nice video smallkiller :D Like the turbo boost!
