Here is a list of glitches/bugs so far in JO. Please add if you see anything missing. It is important to understand these as it will help explain a few things and help you avoid them.

Sound
The sound in JO has a delay to it of about 0.5 - 1.0 seconds. This makes it very hard to use directional sound to find out accurately where fire is comming from. In a game with no tracers (or stupid cheese), sound becomes extremely important.

You can test this out for yourself. Have a sound go off on your right side. Now quickly spin around so the source is now on your left side. You'll notice that the sound travels in your right ear for a bit before moving to your left.

Hit Detection
Not sure if this is a bug or just lag. Playing on International the other day with a ping of 25 (instead of 200 on East Coast) I notice my accuracy improved greatly but there were still times when I shot and nothing registered. Basically what I have found, and others in the Nova Forums, is that Hit Detection seems dependant on what you are doing at the time.

Moving Targets
Kneeling, aiming and then firing at a target moving across your LOS can often result in the contact turning, jumping, looking for you, aqcuiring you and then shooting you dead with a mere handful of shots. However, according to the blurb, firing whilst moving should be the least accurate. In this scenario you are probably better off firing well ahead of your target and then moving that fire slowly into your target. I would suggest 3 man widths at 100M (widths, not lengths). If no luck after a few shots start to bring the sights closer in to the target. This sucks and really detracts from the immersion factor imo. At 100M I should be leading marginally ahead of the target. If Nova would slow everyone down, perhaps lag wouldn't be so much of an issue? Sniper rifles are more accurate

CQB
This can be really frustrating and sometimes it seems the closer you get to your target, the more you will miss. Time and again you will see examples of to guys circling each other, both having to reload because every single bullet out of 30 couldn't find the target (so 60 bullets).

Knifing
Never, ever knife someone who is prone whilst you are standing. You can stand over them all day "swooshing" above them and it's only when they turn to investigate this weird "swooshing" noise repeatedly going over their head, do they see this guy above them stabbing the air and then prmptly shoot him. Whilst you can sometimes get the kill, it's not worth it so go PRONE, and take them on at their level

Helo's
This happened the other day where I was on a minigun, a team mate was on the other and we had our pilot. Somehow (and don't ask me how) my team mate on the other gun managed to kill both me and the pilot and then died when the helo crashed into the water. Haven't seen this one before so one to be aware of.

Buildings
Move under a building and then stand up straight through the floor. Walk through fences. Shoot or knife through buildings. There seems to be a variable list on what you can do with buildings. Water is another glitchable area. You can effectively lie in the water with your feet just poking out (so lying from the shore, into the water) and still be able to scope in and fire normally.

Vehicles
Seems they can jump out the back of a helo and land perfectly ok. Fly over the enemy and drop APC's out the back on top of them. However small trees will kill your APC if you hit too many of them.

APC's seem to have problems in their armour. It's been reported that you can stand on top of the turret and shoot down through it, killing the gunner. Sniper rifles seem to have particular times of the day when they will actually shoot through the front glass plate.

I think this occurs if your apc was on a boat of h/craft and that vehicle gets destroyed leaving a healthy APC that you managed to get inside. However the bug here is that whilst the armour is green, it's not actually there and bullets pass right through it.

Helo's will fly through a forest at low speeds. At high speeds you'll die but low see's you bumping through them.

Players can exit a helo flying at high speed and very low.

Miscellaneous
Warping. Sometimes you get warped to a part of the map that is (literally) miles from anywhere.



OK that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Anyone has anything to add please do so. Remember that these are bugs, not cheats. There are an awful lot so make sure you know what's what and how to avoid or overcome it.
