Gears 3 Title Update 3 Glitch
One of the fixes for TU 3 was removing a Hammerburst and sniper exploit on the map "Mercy" where in a player could effectively shoot and not be shot back:
"Removed Hammerburst and Longshot exploits with using the iron-sights/scope on Mercy where a player could shoot from a concealed position near the Sanctuary bells. Damage will not register when players are using the scope or iron-sights from that concealed position."
However, this "Damage will not register" has bugged out a bit and now is preventing people aiming from atop a ledge or wall from shooting someone below them when using iron sights or zoomed in with the sniper.
This is not a major bug; In this scenario it would be better to not use Iron sights / scope but it's just worth pointing out incase it does happen that one time that someone deserves a headshot they should have just got.
Credits to Xenokai for finding this bug out in the first place.
However, in Xenokai's video, he is shooting over a ledge on gridlock where someone would never usually use iron sights. In my video, I tried to create a some what plausable scenareo where a locust player may be trying to pick grenade's up and the cog player takes a quick shot at him.
