10 Awesome Glitches That Improved Video Games

10. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - The Knife Of God

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is for the most part an extremely polished game that has clearly gone through a lot of bug testing, but that didn't stop this one sneaking through. When on the game's Isla Inocentes map, the player is - or rather, was, given that this was patched over two years ago - by hitting the sweet spot, able to reduce a large building to rubble with the mere slash of a blade, made all the more hilarious given that the building is designed to withstand mortar strikes among other things. Though it's only a small component of the game, and in many eyes won't do much to improve it, it provided a great few laughs before the spoilsports patched it, and certainly helped keep the game in our console for a while longer. Also, for a game that's pretty damn serious, it's a much-needed comic flourish and nice break in the action.
