Sheikah Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I think MGO is really good, it's really well put together and there's such potential for it.
Daft Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Daft = legend. Haha! I just turn up get paid and take the swag! :p
mariosmentor Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 MGO has potential. It's a bit clunky at the moment, however you can speed up characters with a skill. Haven't actually tried it but I know it's there. But yeah, keep getting kicked off of servers and some really bad lag, the only game I have connection problems. Other than that I quite enjoy it except for the fact that it's Konami id's and I have the sneaking suspicion we'll have to pay monthly for the full version.

Try turning your router and modem on and off again, that worked for me! Also perhaps turn the upload limit down under options which will (I think...) stop you from getting the 'connection unstable' thingy as much. I don't think they'll make us pay monthly because it's only one game. No one would pay it. I very much hope you're wrong! After stabilizing my connection I've found it's quite fun. It's no Call of Duty though...
Daft Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I haven't had a problem playing online except for losing the connection once. There is no way I can see Konami charging for it. The more I'm playing it the more fun I'm having. I can see some awesome team games happening. I'm not really noticing any difference between say the M4 and the AK so I'm not that impressed with the guns. I've had the fast movement skill from the start and I haven't really noticed the game being slow. Aren't there meant to be 2 maps on the beta? I've only had the one. Does this come with MGS4 or is it a separate game altogether. The more I'm playing, the more I enjoy it.

It's no Call of Duty though... Well there were rumours that developers were going to make you pay a "developer license" for PS3 to play their games. So buying a Konami license would allow you to play Konami games online. The rumours started with Rockstar contemplating a Rockstar license for their games. I thought it was all bull until I saw "buy Monthly Game tickets" in the MGO license agreement. At this stage it could be anything however. I don't have links, it was awhile ago I heard about it when GTA4 was announced and paid it only a passing interest as I didn't have a PS3 at the time. I hope it isn't, but I have a sneaking suspicion. I seen the rumour awhile ago but I think it only applied to the PS3 because it's network was free and I can see companies trying to capitalise on the internet market. And yeah I always routinely turn the router on and off but I may try changing the upload speed to see what happens, ta much.

Daft Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Just played the Grovsny map with the man catapults and it is awesome. Got 12 kills/2 deaths.
flameboy Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Separate game altogether. well you the get the starter pack with MGS4...which is just above this Beta in terms of functionality the rest is paid for as DLC.
Daft Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 The melee attack in MGO is so turd!! Its a load of fun. I'm surprisingly good at it. I think its because most people are just running and gunning, I tend to play really slowly. What skills has everyone gone for? I got the assault rifle one, faster movement, added scope (but its a bit lame imo) and the one that relays info to your team when you salute (but since no one else does the salute thing it doesn't help that much). I really don't like the small map but I love the Grosvny (sp?) map.
mariosmentor Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I've got Pistol and Sniper expertise. Faster movement but not tried it out yet and the one that relays info to your team when you attack enemies. Last ones good for when you're snipering and they dive for cover. watch em crawl for safety. I usually play quite slowly aswell, favouring sniper rifles. Alot of covering and careful observation. Camping really.

Camping really. Isn't the faster movement automatic? I was thinking about trying the sniper out. The M4 is pretty powerful though. I actually managed to out snipe a sniper with it! :p I had the pistol but I now use the tranq gun which is so much fun to use. Last match I tranqued someone and while another player was trying to revive him I blew them both away! The tranq gun is really weird though, I've shot people in the body twice and it doesn't seem to do anything. It might only be headshots. Mild camping is the way to go me thinks.
mariosmentor Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 What I mean is I've switched but haven't played with it on yet. Before I had the one to see traps until I realized nobody but me really bothers with them. I usually get to the high altitude points and sneaky spy holes. ot many games really accommodate sniping with smaller maps, bad cover etc. but I love to do it. COD4, Battlefield, QW and this are my favourite sniping games so far. Is there a place for Konami ID's? My character is The Mighty Duuz but I think the GAME ID is the_mighty_duuz if anybody wants a game sometime. Only just got a PS3 so don't really know the friends function that well.
Daft Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Thought so but for a second I thought I had fast movement but didn't activate it! :p I only got a PS3 a couple months back so I'm still pretty clueless. If we set up an N-Europe clan that would be the easiest thing to get everyone together. I'm not sure how that works exactly but I saw an option on the menu somewhere.
flameboy Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I'm really starting to get into MGO at first I hated it as just used to this beast of shooter. But really got into it and especially today was in a team where people were communicating via text and it really worked and we managed to coordinate a lot of attacks etc...can only imagine what it will be like with voice chat. I'm defo looking forward to getting the starter pack and then deciding from there whether or not to commit to some DLC. One slight query I have about it is, when press L1 how come sometimes there is no aiming reticle and other times there is...am I missing something is it certain weapons or certain add ons? Is it perhaps performance related? Also can you jump/roll from being crouched or do you have to stand up and roll?

Is it perhaps performance related? Not too sure if it's what your experiencing but I've noticed that with rifles you need to be a certain distance away from a wall/cover etc before the character can aim with it. Probably because the rifle would be going through the wall or whatever. I've noticed this when crouched behind a short wall and it appears there's enough space to pull out the rifle but won't let me until I take a few steps back. Sometimes however it's seems to aim fine anyway. Probably not the same thing but just incase.

I never use auto aim. I think you have to stand but if you hold roll you roll into a prone position. If you then press triangle you play dead.

On the smaller map when I am on the walkways and want to shoot over the railings at someone just below it is REALLY annoying...

Daft Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 New map and new mode on MGO. So by now you probably know your way around Blood Bath and Gronznyj Grad like the back of your hand and you're starting to want more from your Metal Gear Online experience. The European beta has now been updated with a third map and a new gameplay mode. The new map, Midtown Maelstrom, is a medium size level set on the street of a war-stricken town. Hence the name. As for the new gameplay mode, we expect the Sneaking Mission to be incredibly popular for the sole reason that Snake is a playable character. One player takes on his role, complete with OctoCamo, Solid Eye and other handy items (how does he carry so much stuff while sneaking around?). The aim is to move silently around the map trying to collect dog tags by defeating other players. If more than ten people are playing then another player takes the role of Metal Gear Mk II in order to help out Snake. Meanwhile two teams battle it out as usual. I've just played Sneaking Mission on Midtown Maelstrom and the map is awesome. Snakes camo is absurdly good....well he is invisible. I'll try and set up a clan for everyone on the forum to join but you have o have played 5 hours and be level 2. I've clocked 2 and a half hours so I'm half way there. I'm still not too clear on the tranq gun. Do you have to hit people in the head for it to work?

Daft Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Sneak is awesome. I actually won it on Snakes team as Metal Gear MkII. I really hate the Blood Bath map. When you start off underground it takes a frustrating amount of time to get out. There is also a problem with respawning when enemies are near your base. The other two maps are so much better. There is no option on Blood Bath, unsurprisingly it lives up to it's name, there is way more strategy on the other maps. Aren't there only 5 maps in the main MGO game? Its so much fun when you are on a team that knows how to play as a team. Generally I switch between supporting, and sticking with, the team or going off solo and shit stirring! :p
Caris Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I don't understand this forum. MGO is out (and is fantastic by the way) and like, no one is talking about it. I don't know why half the people on here have PS3's.
