Yeah, Gamexplain made a video about this glitch and I very much knew that it was going to be something that got patched. that being said, there may be levels out on the server now that are unbeatable now as a result because of levels being built around it.
I actually have something I'd like to have patched where for some reason, muchers aren't loaded in when they are off screen. I have a level that I'm otherwise REALLY proud of, but it breaks if you launch shell across the long stretch of munchers but don't follow it.
