Jealous… so very, very jealous…
I know, and all in the hands of total scrub, must make you sick :wgrin:
Played as snake now.
Seems you can play as snake and just cruise around while you wait for players to join.
Snake has solid eye, That tracker thing you attack to people, Tranq Hand gun and tranq sniper rifle, Stun Knife, M9 rifle.
Snake is helluva fun. Didn’t get his Octocamo to work though, maybe it was on by default only everyone else couldn’t see me. The default camo is helluva cool just press Triangle against a wall and Checkered snake, goodtimes
Once players joined seems like snake was allocated randomly.
The Little camera thing is FAST owned me good. Looks like it has to work with snake since all it did was shock me and knock me out.
It’s good to Europe getting some charity for a change, we get shafted in the land of PAL quite often. Take notes Capcom.
I’ll approve you after maintenance. I haven’t played all day, so I’ll get on it quick.
EDIT: Nevermind. I got you all right before the maintenance. :tup:
Damn, some guy named Bluesnake or something is running away with the DM #1 spot. Turns out he has barely any kills but he runs a server teaching noobs how to use CQC and advertises the description as “Noobs come learn CQC from a top 3 ranked DM player” to get away with a bunch of easy points from stuns all day.:rolleyes:
Anyways, more thoughts. playing dead (belly up) and getting instant headshots as peope walk by is way too much fun. SOP on DM is bullshit. Why should I get to be a big target just for being in first place. It’s an online STEALTH action game. Shouldnt I get to play smart and tactical like everyone else without some broken “balancing” mechanism ruining the match and making it difficult for whoever is winning (usually with skill) and making the match one big, random clusterfuck for first place. It’s like fucking lightning bolts and blue shells on Mario Kart, but ten times worse. This better not be on the real game or it should at least be off by default. It pissed me off so much I sent a rant to the game masters in hopes that they actually read it and I’m not the only person thinking this way.
Oh and enemy exposure is great even without teams. At lvl 2 you can actually see their movements for like 5 whole seconds just by putting one bullet in them. It can even help with headshots in FPS view if the recoil makes it harder to find the head when you’re bringing the gun back to head level.
Yeah, I don’t really like the new emphasis on stunning. My ranking isn’t so great because I don’t stun people at all. I don’t really care about ranking, though, so that’s another thing.
Also, if any of you have seen my character, you can tell I made him with a real emphasis on stealth. There are some places where I can pretty much be completely invisible, except for my breathing.
Yeah, SOP destab is really dumb.
I want to murder whoever thought it was a good idea to have R3 make you STOP shooting if you push it in a firefight. I’ve had at least 30 deaths where I couldn’t shoot back because I pushed in the aim stick. GARBAGE.
Does anyone own the Spitfish FragFX? I wanna try that thing cos I’m not an analog gamer.
The beta is fun but it’s definitely it’s “own” game and not very Metal Gear-y, I think. It’s a good base for a fun game though. If anyone is Midwest or EC get at me (as Ghaleon.) cos I have a pretty decent connection to host.
I wish there was more incentive to play stun/MK22 style, but I just use M4/Assault Rifle 3/Fast M 1 all day because it’s better results in game and for score. They should balance the scoring system better, because headshot + kill is way too much score (even though I guess I won’t argue while it’s helping me a shitton). And make the team skills better & give more points for team assisting.
Has everyone figured out on here by now that running with your main weapon put away is top-tier fast 
I see almost no one online who does that yet. Speed up!
k, i’m on there now. Add me caliagent3
Yeah thats the old bait trick for rank that they used to pull off in MGO 1. Fuckers.
Any room that says NOOBS ONLY is a bait room for rank.
I will not be joining you guys until MGO’s release, because I lent out my ps3 to a good friend. I did play the game however at a friends house (fucking loved it).
I will tell you my playstyle right now-
I specialize in stunning the enemy, map control, as well as controlling the play field by placing our opposition in a controlled area. were we can put them to sleep again or kill them one at a time and bum rush the victim that we killed to gain complete control again.
The new Snake mode is fun. It’s hard as hell being Snake !!
And that new level is awesome, theres a great area where there can be a trench war… and lots of places to hide, you can even go up in some buildings. Sneakfest!
We should start some clan wars, like have someone register on 1up or neo gaf and tell them we want to own them.
That’d be a blast. 1up won’t be a problem to to set something up with, but I’ve been waiting for posting privileges on my NeoGaf account for a couple months now. I think a few people in this thread have posting accounts over there though.
Going to go try Sneaking mode now! Woot.
Yeah, we have a pretty balanced type of clan. Me with grenades, kvit with his assault rifle skills, you with your knifing/sneaking skills, and i’m sure the other guys have specialities but I haven’t played with them yet. We could totally rule Metal Gear online!!!
I was just in a game and we were in G.G. and some guy CQC’ed one of our team members and was holding him like a hostage. There were 3 other guys on our team standing and ready to shoot but wouldn’t cause they didn’t want to team kill. I had an SVD cause I wanted to get this bastard in a tower so I stood behind all the guys on my team, aimed, and got him right in the head. I swear, i took me back to the good ol’ days of SILENT SCOPE !!!
Man, headshots are pissing me off !!! I shoot people for an hour and they get off one handgun shot to my head and I’m dead. Or I spend 10,000 on the grenade add-on to the M4 and I get headshot and don’t even get to use it!!
Oh and I just realized that first person mode is way more effective than over the shoulder. Now I’ve gotta do something about that damn recoil !! lol
Try to fire in bursts. It works for me.
Anyway, I would play right now, but it’s like a million degrees today, and there’s a wildfire just a few miles away. Maybe I’ll see you all online tonight, though.
Is anyone level 5 yet? I’m wondering if you get more skill slots at the bold-number levels.
I’m level 5 – it doesn’t do anything different for you that I can tell. I don’t even know what the levels hinge on, since I’ve seen people w/ less kills than deaths at L5. What do they mean even? I can’t figure out if it’s just time related, either.
Yeah, I can’t figure out how the levels work either, but I’ll snoop and ask around and see if I can’t find something out.
So, can anyone confirm if Level IV Knife Mastery gives you the HF Blade?
L3 is the max for skills in the beta, right?
I’ll be on tonight if anyone could use a teammate with a decent record – (Ghaleon.) I’ve just been playing random games w/ random people.
Secret top tier strat from MGO: cell phones are better than headsets. Chaff grenades can’t stop it.
Secret BALLS DEEP IN YOUR OPPONENT’S ASS TIER STRAT. Hold psuedo-LAN parties and play with the people there! Camera E.
Go to the caln affiliation page, check the roster and click on the person’s name and choose move to game. That’s the best way to play with us on SRK.
Litvenko, Kivt, Krytos, KomboKaze, and Ban C. Hammer are all great team members from my experiences. Especially Krytos ( lol ).
