I know the majority of you do not enjoy Metal Gear Online, I however got really into it back in the day, I was getting kind of bored of all the online stuff I have now and was thinkng of getting back into it. Does anybody else here still play this, do you think ANYBODY else in the world still plays this?
Metal Gear Online
Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Jul 17, 2008
A tactical, online, third-person shooter, based on the gameplay mechanics of Metal Gear Solid 4. The game's servers were shut down in June 2012.
Does anybody still play this?
....Was it the one on PS2? That's the only MGO I ever heard of or played. If it's that one, then I played the shit out of that game.
I really enjoyed playing it back at release, but haven't touched it in years.
I really enjoyed playing it back at release, but haven't touched it in years.haha same hereI remember there being some infuriating login mechanism. Fairly sure I forgot my details and stopped playing because of that.
It was pretty fun, but the 46 login screens didn't help much. Plus you had to download the DLC from a separate store and not the PSN which for some reason really bothered me back then although it probably wouldn't now...
Also from what I remember, connecting to a game was a bitch. maybe it was because I lived on campus at the time and the internet connection didn't like to make friends with consoles though. meh
Does MGO play like a TPS only or can you sneak and actually have fun doing so? Also, does it only focus on lethal kills or can you tranq and CQC and win? (My favourite part of MGS is sneaking if you couldn't tell :P)
You can go all rambo or all stealth, you can CQC and Tranq guns and magazines and pretty much all MGS4 weapons including cardboard boxs! You have select points which you can put into cataogorys like assault riffle skill to sneaking skill to CQC skill etc. There were modes were it was a team Deathmatch, red vs blue, but also a yellow team consisting of a Solid Snake and an MKII which was really fun to play as.
lol, I attempted to let the updates download when I first bought the game back in '09. Shit took too long and I realized I shouldn't waste my bandwidth .
It takes me 10 hours to DL the patches and the Konami id bull crap made me stop playing, but i did enjoy some of the unique mechanics that they had for online. If they make another one for Rising but fix that i would definitely play.
That sounds ridiculously fun. When you score a tranq shot does it count as a point in Deathmatch? Or do you need to finish them off?
I tried to play it once, but the Konami ID bullshit pretty much guaranteed that I would never, ever try to play it again.
No, they just fall asleep, if you fall asleep you have to rotate the analog stick to wake back up, takes a while though, Your team members can wake you up though, it gets intense at times if you get tranqed but the person who tranqed you gets killed by an ally, but the ally dosn't see you. So your left there rotating rappidly hoping an enemy dosn'tstumble across you and kill you before you wake up.
Cool. Sounds fun. I've just started downloading the updates for MGO. I am at the vanilla 1.00 so I feel that this may take forever.
Is $17.99 worth it for the 3 expansions? (GENE, MEME, and SCENE) I'm probably going to wait until the PSN store re-opens anyway but I was just wondering what you guys think?
I've always wanted to play this and I actually sat through the updates when I bought a PS3 and MGS4 in 2009.
Man I was impressed by the levels and what seemed like levels of depth, but the community was too niche for its own good and Konami had no interest in making it smooth.
Plus the clunky controls took some getting used to for single player.
@Hizang:
You should definitely start a thread asking for people who have never played this but have MGS4 to give it a shot now that PSN is back up.
We should do a MGO noob day.
Sure, i'm still playing. But i'm still having a hard time with the shitty community though, seriously, a whole clan on your team starts killing you just because they want you to go down a level, hosts that kick if you arent doing EXACTLY what they want you do to, idiots who don't press start at the countdown because they don't like the current map or repeatedly votes to restart a TSNE round just because he died.
