It seems that shortly after any new game comes out there are always those who will test the limits of what the game can withstand, explore every level..and glitch.
I can appreciate that games produced to deadline won't always be perfect, seldom ever are. (See Halo 3 campaign, I must've fallen into every undiscovered hole in the terrain when fighting brutes) or even Gears, with it's sometimes cheddar-cheese filled walls.
But there is a clear difference between back flipping Cole Train into a wall by accident, and sitting inside a rock, smoking people as they run past on Call Of Duty. It's not even that there are bugs in the game that annoys me, its the simple fact that these people, usually little boys with nothing better to do, deliberately cheat to get the upper hand then congratulate each other on being masters of the universe.
All the while you are thinking, man I wish I could beat these people at their own game, but I wouldn't want to lower myself. There are many reasons why people cheat at anything, lacking skill, peer pressure, or just being pricks.
So every time some ass jumps out of the level, or sails past me through the air I remember this: In life Jim the store clerk is a nobody, he gets yelled at by his manager, and games are his escape. So sure, its much easier for Jim to vent his rage at passive faceless people on xbox than face his own life. Suddenly I'm not so annoyed.

I know how you feel. It really bothers me when people spend more time trying to find those glitches than they do actually trying to learn how to play the game the right way. I think those people aren't going to be playing video games very long because they'll get bored with how easy things are for them.
When Xbox went about banning people for the illegal gamerscore boosting/glitches that was going around one person who was caught (and banned with that tag) said something interesting a forum. He said that now that he was banned he wouldn't play anymore. His glitching took all the fun out of the games and he had no desire to go back and replay any of them.
