Snipers Take To The Air With Strange Battlefield 3 Glitch

With the caveat that I haven't actually played any Battlefield 3 for myself -- or much of previous Battlefield games, for that matter -- I've always enjoyed watching the videos of weird glitches and bugs that pop up in DICE's popular line of military shooters. Here's the craziest one I've seen for Battlefield 3 so far.

Apparently the glitch works like this: In Battlefield 3, Recon players can summon an MAV (or Micro Air Vehicle). Normally this device is used to scout out enemy locations, but crafty players realized that if a teammate stands on your summoned MAV, you can lift him or her to areas of the map that are normally inaccessible.

You can check out the wacky action for yourself in the video below via YouTube user FRANKIEonPCin1080p. Since it's been all over the Internet, I wouldn't be shocked if DICE is already hard at work patching this unintentional strategy out of the game, so enjoy it while you can!
