Metal Gear SOLID Thread: Snake? SNAAAAKE!

Press and hold the left touchpad button…

It could possibly be a patch issue. Error 10012 isn’t something exclusive to just MGO, it happens when the game can’t connect to the servers period. I know this because when I was first playing the game, I kept getting the same error and had to play offline. It seemed to fix itself when I deleted all the patch data, restarted my PS4 (don’t just put it into Rest mode, actually RESTART the system through the power options) and re-downloaded the patches.

It might not help, but you could try that. Other people have been experiencing the error as well.

Have you also considered it could be a problem with your NAT type? Are you able to connect to others on different games?

MGO3 is hella fun

I only played about 3 hours of MGO3 yesterday and it’s a completely different beast from MGO2 and I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. First off, you go through 2 rounds of one of the three modes and each round feels really short to me. I remember MGO1 & 2 rounds lasted at least 15 minutes or longer. MGO3 rounds feel like they last 10 minutes or shorter if the objective is reached in each mode so your actual play time feels short per round. I find this particularly annoying in Cloak & Dagger mode because you need to play really methodical in that mode and having a time limit forces some rash plays from the attacking team. It also means the other team can just time you out. I recall doing one cloak & dagger play as the attacking team and it takes a while to get to the enemy base undetected and then we’re trying to take out just enough of the enemy team to grab the disc but we ran out of time even though we were in the lead in terms of surviving members. Another 5 minutes and we would have won for sure. I just feel like the existing time limit is too short to really enjoy a round.

Maps feel a lot larger in MGO3 and I remember having cases in Bounty Hunter where we had a few minutes of nothing happening because both teams couldn’t find each other. This is partly due to map unfamiliarity but I think it also contributes to the size and variety of map terrain (ie. buildings vs open field). This isn’t necessarily a bad thing because it opens up more strategies for either team.

I think they took out the First Person View peak where you could use L2 and R2 while in FPV to tilt from side-to-side. I remember this technique was used a lot in MGO1 and 2 for head shots. I didn’t do a lot of testing so it could just be a different button sequence for this. It felt like weapons did a shit ton of damage and a small burst from an assault rifle would be enough to kill someone. It feels like half a clip is enough to kill someone even if your spraying at their body but this is probably related to the class system.

Every MGO has the possibility to focus on strategies but this rarely happens unless it’s a specific mode like MGO2 tourney/survival mode. MGO3 seems like good team composition could cause some huge snowball effects but random matchmaking will mitigate this. I think I recall seeing a party system but not sure how much that effects your matchmaking after wards. I think Scout marking and Infiltrator interrogations are really important to maintain enemy visibility for long duration’s. Getting an interrogation on the attacking team in Cloak & Dagger instantly shifts match momentum. I also find it hilarious if you play Infiltrator as the defending team and use the Stealth Camo to throw off the opposing team. I had some people just walk pass me thinking I’m on their team then I sneak up and interrogate them and shift the entire match to my teams favor.

I think I’m at level 8 infiltrator and level 6 scout but it’s super easy to get levels even with a bad k/d ratio. lol I think there’s a lot of fun potential if we can get a solid group with mics to coordinate strategies. Mics would definitely help during Cloak & Dagger matches.

I’m on PS4 and my PSN is Killeykun if anyone wants to get some matches going. I won’t be playing tonight but will do some matches Thursday and up.

You get a crap ton of EXP if you Fulton dudes, I use that Non-lethal class with Enforcer and I just charge at people and CQC them or I throw a lot of sleep grenades.

I know with infiltrator you get 250exp for an interrogation and another 150exp if you slit their throat. I remember in one round I got 5 interrogations and 5 kills and I gained a whole level from that.

made european psn account and downloaded mgo data

still same gay shit…yeah razor sup with buying my ps4?

dont have any other game to test. I am on psn thats about it. nat type 2 on wired connection.

dont know if its the connection because I just hooked up my ps4 with my phone’s hotspot(its pretty fast and unlimited) and still got the exact same error. so I doubt its the net or router or any of that. how exactly do I delete patches? looking into that now…

Patch Data is located in Settings, under System Data Management or something. It might do you better to just try and delete the game and all its patch data entirely, shouldn’t take more than 5 or ten minutes to re-install it all if you bought the game on disc.

lol…what a piece of shit this is

I “reinitialize” EVERYTHING. basically complete reset/format/wipeASS and looks like now I am able to log in. hope this damn save file still works. made a copy on the usb drive. thanks for the idea tho. downloading the mgo data now. its probably gonna work now.

thanks for the idea.

Yeah, I figured it had to be corrupt patch data or something. The servers don’t seem to be having issues themselves right now; I was able to sign on this morning. If only for like 5 minutes before I had to work.

Will be sliding down hills in cardboard boxes and breaking people’s legs later when I get home today.

also how do I disable FOB? not tryna get robbed or rob anyone. I am not black like that!

You can’t if you didn’t play Offline Mode during Mission 22.

Which is GARBAGE when they said FOBs were Optional and yet they force you to build one after Mission 22 unless you play Offline Mode.

I played offline mode this entire time…will check it out

Don’t play SP again.

you have been disconnected from session

about 12x now. totally paying for this after ps+ trial ends.

So is this shit fun or what? I’m still too paranoid to go online and I don’t wanna spend hours grinding resources in one day.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

what a scrub-fest looooooooool

easily the worst shooting mechanics ever. this will not last. for me and many others. well at least I won’t be wasting fuck ton of time with online games now. this is casual garbage. maybe once a week type thing.

Man, dig the sand out of your vagina already dude.

Where are the best spots to farm materials? I need to expand Motherbase and I’m lacking in fuel and common metal. Deployment missions take too long and I’m running low on low tier guys to fire.
