10 Glitches That Actually IMPROVED Video Games

4. Team Fortress Spy

It’s fitting that Team Fortress, a game with slightly glitchy origins itself in that it evolved from a class-based Quake mod, sprouted one of the most devious characters of that offspring: The Spy.

The original Team Fortress contained a bug where players sometimes had the wrong team colour above their head, paving the way for all manner of sleuth-like underhandedness.

Sound familiar? This would of course move to become one of the Spy’s most appealing traits in Team Fortress 2 as the original development team that went on to become part of Valve saw it as a headline feature of his.

A prime example of how the modding community can be utilised for great things.
