Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta

Oh, and I go by Ban C. Hammer.

I guess SRK is too generic?

How about Team UNR, where all of us create new black characters… it could work…

w00t!!! I’m ranked #5 in DM rankings. Real close to #1, but the servers are down for now.

I’m just waiting for people to start understanding the team concept a little bit more. I hate going into TDM or other team games, putting in work and still getting the shaft because everyone else is sloppy as fuck. People barely even link up. Anyways the skills I use are assault rifle, CQC, Movement and the one the shows where the enemy is to your team if you shoot at them.

Drebin points are awesome, but it’s hard finding servers the have them enabled for some odd reason.

PSN: Snake_FC
game ID: snakedizzle_fc

Right, so I use:

Assault R Mastery 1 (I have it at 2, but that takes two slots, so fuck that)
Handgun Mastery 1
Quick Movement 1
Enhanced Lock-On 1

I also have my R2 set to switch between two guns back and forth. It makes my grenade and trap game weaker, but it helps for gun fights.

Yeah this game is pretty damn awesome IMO. The Auto Aim isn’t nearly as great as everybody thought, so it balances out in the end when you realise you can’t get head shots with it and has very limited range. And god do I love the cardboard box. The random boxes placed everywhere makes them actually decently effective to use.

Only problem I have with this game is that it’s slow. The cover system is ungodly slow unlike the last MGS games. It takes awhile for your character to move while under cover and somewhat seems useless not to mention trying to shoot in cover being slow too. The characters also run pretty slow even with fast movement equipped.

But that’s what the beta is for, so I’m sure that stuff will be addressed since it’s the main complaint about this game now. Everything else is fine tho. Gonna play some more after I get off work.

Precision and chicanery are the names of the game here. The old MGO was actually a lot faster and had a strong auto-aim (as well as a far more retarded kill cam that lasted WAY too long), so I actually consider the slow speed fixes from before.

Anyway, I find that I have a very easy time killing morons who think they’re CQC ninjas or some shit with auto-aim and strafing, but that’s kind of how I play the game anyway.

Damn, anyone have an extra beta code? Mine was only 9 digits and Konami still has not responded.

I am playing now. tag: “SNAAAKE”

Okay, I have a clan up. The clan name is “SRK: The Clan.”

EDIT: Okay, I have an actual emblem for us now, but I can’t replace the stupid-ass placeholder for another three hours. Whoops.

oh my godddd, this game rules so hard.

played til like 3 am when they said servers were going down.

tag: kvlt

p.s. thanks 1. i would rep you if i could.

Awesome, I’ll try and join the clan on my lunchbreak.

Some guy over on the NeoGaf servers was decimating people with throat slicing action. Then he posted the requirements for it and I was a little sad:

Level 3 Knife Mastery + Level 1 CQC

Goddamn, that means no increased movement speed to actually catch people. Might be worth it in DM, but in TDM I don’t know how much you contribute to your team trying to pick off stragglers. And if there’s more than one enemy, forget about it, unless you are channeling the powers of Vamp.

That was fun.

Took forever to download the update patch but it was well worth it.
I played from 12am till 6am. I stopped playing because they about
to conduct server maintenance.
Took me while to adjust to the groove of the game.:rock:
My game ID was boktai django and my characters name was capcom killah.
So if anyone happened to play me last night please let me know.:wgrin:

bah I can’t download the updates :sad:

no peers and I keep getting network error

i’m in as NEONBLACK.

I had the same problem. All you have to do is download it via HTTP for the 1.01patch.
It will download…if it gets an error exit the game and try again. It keeps the progress.
Took me four hours to download it. There are hardly any seeds so just do it that way.

When its finally complete download the 2nd patch 1.02 via peer to peer cause its smaller.
Only took me 5 minutes to download.

I know its a pain but trust me its well worth it…
Anyway I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
You have to be really stealthy to even get someone in a CQC stance, and the knife thing seems a little cheap anyways, plus it will take all your slots lol. I wouldn’t use it.

I just got Lvl 2 Assault Rifle and holy crap, it actually reloads in a decent amount of time and the gun isn’t flying everywhere!!! I’m killing a lot more with this one so it’s a keeper.
Got Lvl 2 fast movement but it didn’t seem like it helped too much…

Is it me or is it too easy to get headshots? I seem to be headshot 70% of the time.

I was having so much fun last night. Knife + magazines are such a deadly combo. I’ve taken out groups using them, in TDM. :rofl: I’m probably halfway to lvl 3 knife mastery.

I will join the clan next time I’m on.

Someone asked about the SOP destab? It’s what causes the whole team to go crazy. It’s a support item you can buy when the Drebin points system is on. It’s very expensive but worth it. Also, you have to be in their main base to use it. I’ve only seen it being used during capture games.

haha damn, mr number 2 on DM

gasp

add me doods

i LOVE tdm on graznyj :slight_smile:

Oh man S.O.P Destabilizers are so much fun. 5,000 Drebin Points, but I have a blast using them. Sneaking past enemies and infiltrating their base is like a separate minigame. One time I was playing dead on my back next to their main square/HQ as two enemies spawn in. They ignore me and run by, I flip back over, L1+X roll toward, plant it, BOOM, proceed to go on a knifing spree for 30 seconds.

Good times.

Do we have a general idea on Server Name/Lobby yet?

Edit: Sometimes I don’t even want to join a game because the lobby selection music is so epic!
