8. Return Of The Swing Launch
Because what Grand Theft Auto game would now be complete without the swing launch glitch? GTA IV did raise the bar for glitches, providing us hours of fun as we slowly backed up cars into that mysterious swing set to be thrown halfway across the map. Easily one of the most famous glitches in gaming history and what I believe some creative types call "a happy accident," swing launch is back in GTA V, but this time in the form of a residential gate. The rules are still the same; the only thing that has changed is now it's a gate instead of a swing set that does the launching. You drive a vehicle so it touches the gate then continue to gently have the car drive into it. A moment later you and the car will be flying high through the air, landing some five miles away. This is a glitch that I believe Rockstar put in GTA V on purpose. It is too great and too similar to the one in GTA IV to be done twice and I doubt they will ever release an update that fixes it. To perform this glitch head to the ritzy part of town where people have their own private gates in front of their homes and check out the video for a basic example on how to gate launch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg6CkixyZOY
