I'll explain.
I feel that the stereotype that glitchers are cheaters is despicable. It disgusts me to think that is true. In reality, we enhance our own experience with a game we find dull. Due normally to the monotonous repetition of daily game play. This is where the dispute takes place. It is controversial as to whether we do this to gain a competitive edge or to help the developers fix their flaws. Honestly, do people believe us to be that complicated? We do it for fun! Do you believe that a developer from Epic could have ever imagined the player shooting up in to the sky by means of only using a pickup truck? Or how about a Bungie developer even dreaming that people could bypass their 'impenetrable' death barriers? NO WAY! This is what WE have done as a community! Look at our database, and tell me that we are wasting our time. This is days, even weeks, of work put together to form hours and hours of replay value! - Ag3nt047

What is Glitching?
Glitching is the controversial practice of finding and exploiting flaws in modern video games to achieve something that was not intended by the game designers. Gamers who engage in this practice are known as glitchers (or cheaters, depending on whether or not you agree with glitching.) While the term is mainly a neologism it derives from the German glitschig, meaning 'slippery.' Glitchers can be found on console video games as well as computer games. With the advent of high speed multiplayer gaming in the form of services such as Xbox Live and Playstation Online, glitching has grown in popularity. Despite this gain in popularity, glitching is still considered a subculture of gaming and has retained a negative image in the eyes of many gamers.
Why people Glitch?
Glitchers do not see themselves as cheaters and many times do not even use their glitches to gain an advantage in games. Glitchers see their exploits as fair and believe that if it is in the game, and anybody can do it, it is legal. While the fairness of glitches is still debated, rarely do programmers make such a grievous mistake that it creates a glitch that is undefeatable. Glitches often involve jumping to places that are above the normal plane of vision of other players. Many glitches are areas obscured from sight by walls that have no barrier physics to them, that is, they appear to be solid but aren't and thus allow players to walk into them and remain hidden. Glitches vary in their usefulness in multiplayer games, from areas a glitcher can get trapped in to places where snipers can shoot from but cannot be shot themselves. Often, entering a glitch requires the performance of actions that leave a player exposed for a period of time that makes it hard to enter without being seen or killed. Glitchers might also glitch just for plain fun, glitching allows you to explore new areas that might give you a huge advantage or none at all such as being on a huge building, or out of the map where you can't do anything to other players. Sometimes players will create maps with impossibly high jumps, or solid walls blocking entrances, just for the fun of glitching through it. There are even websites where people share glitches As a side note, there are a growing number of glitchers who hypothesize that glitches are indeed intentionally put into video games by the designers, possibly to give bored gamers a new challenge.
