an edit: that image thumbnail you see be4 starting the video is a saare bouncing off a tree....then bouncing off the ground a few times
 
This video is a redo of multiple videos i and others made for the old devs/fourms in a thread where i and many other users discussed and posted data/video of the maps shortly after the explore map feature was released. many thanks to every1 who helped.
 
description: A 1 hourish tour of map oddities in Hawken maps, invisible walls in strange places, lack of wall textures in places O.o, fireballs bouncing off trees, last eco be4/after changes were made, teleporting up a straight wall, gravity acceleration bug, grenades that stick to the floor. all this data is for you, reloaded. 
 

 
 
i hope to to make more videos with more information for you reloaded including perhaps one that actually feels like "the grand tour of hawken maps" (with less focus on issues)

beautiful!

There are also ways out of nearly all the maps, a couple on frontline, at least one on bazaar, a ton on wreckage, one on bunker, one on Uptown. If DerMax ever comes back, he's the map climbing expert, he would know most of them. HubbaBubba also knows a lot of them I believe. Honestly I really like the glitches for explore map mode, but they should be taken out of competitive play for sure.

 

EDIT: Oh, and the weird spots in Origin and Prosk that are basically like a little glitch room you can see (and shoot) out of and not into.

Hey ArchMech, I dug up a screenshot from that ledge you were trying to reach on Facility! You need a barricade to do it.

Spoiler

 

And here's Bazaar:

Spoiler

 

Ahah, I believe this is from inside the Prosk "glitch room", however I've also remembered that you can't shoot out of it, so not as gamebreaking as it could be.

Spoiler

 

Not sure what's up with that shield, but I know that people have fallen through the floor on Bunker before, which could be an issue. 

Spoiler

 

A nice shot of Google maps from atop Uptown (right before I fell to my death). I know DerMax had a good video of how to do this one, although there are at least two ways to get out of Uptown.

Spoiler

 

Ooh, I'd forgotten about this one, but there IS still a way out of Last Eco! I'll have to tell Hubba about this thread next time I see him, he knows more about this one and Bunker than I do. 

Spoiler

 

And speaking of bunker... (This one is really quite difficult to do)

Spoiler

 

And here's a shot from inside the Origin "glitch room". This one also requires barricades. 

Spoiler

 

Anyway, as far as I know, the only maps with no way out are Test Arena, Facility, Prosk, and Origin, and even then Prosk and Origin have a little room that isn't technically part of the map.

O YEA THATS RIGHT THATS WHAT I DID, ty crocky!

[ArchMech]

i think you can get out of origin, i remember seeing a video sumwhere..... theres also jump pad + corsair

[OmegaNull]

Awesome. Will review later. 

[crockrocket]

Btw, very educational video, I didn't know about a lot of that stuff. I'm looking forward to more!

[LaurenEmily]

Great job on finding & collecting all these together. Had no idea the maps are so broken.
I noted you skimmed through wreckage very fast even though it seems to be the most broken of the maps glitch-wise. It's filled with invisible walls and there's at least 3 different ways to escape the boundaries (possibly even more) heck, it's even possible to climb all the way to the top..
(I made a video on how to do this a while ago after some player showed me how he did it, if anyone is interested)
Hopefully all this stuff can be fixed by the new devs.

[DreamedArtist]

Great video

[Guns_N_Rozer]

noice con great video  

[Dr_Freeze001]

Well, there are some very creative and cool ways to get out of the maps. I'll see if I can get the recorded some time in the future.

[crockrocket]

I would like it if the devs just plugged the holes that are at risk for exploitation, like frontline. Exploring maps is fun. I guess if they just left the explore maps versions as is, that would work.

[moosa17]

The first time I got out of Wreckage was like a religious experience. It made me long for a well-developed campaign mode all the more. 

I feel as though the new devs should just strip all of the collision away from the stages and rebuild it from scratch with smooth walls and floors and tight seams. Not sure if that's doable but I'd feel a lot more comfortable about a "fix" taken to that extent than just trying to patch up odd collision here and there case by case.

Here is the other way to get on top of frontline

Aren't the exploration maps a bit different from the normal maps? I can't get to a few areas compared to the exploration maps, mostly in Last Eco. But these glitches sure are nice to get an overview of the battlefield for recording

[(P:B)Augmentia]

I love it. Delicious.

I believe that is the case for Last Eco only. Winter Last Eco is different since it didn't get "fixed". However, there is still a way out of Last Eco in the real version as well.
