Metal Gear Beta testing over =(

Metal Gear Beta testing is now over.. everyone was just booted off.. I posted this earlier in an topic about my opinions of the Beta.. and I would like to start a Clan who will play with mics and have some serious tactics and teamwork.. i think it would be awesome..

My PSN ID is : supafreak187

Add me and put Metal Gear Online as the subject or message.. and i'll see you on 6/12/08.. after I beat the Single Player of course...

Yea I was also just playing actually having one of my best matches and then bamn it was over. Oh well, it was sweet while it lasted. I think the game has a lot of potential and cant wait for June to roll around.... ajthelegend

I know how you feel.. I had just joined a room where the action was getting good.. and then boom.. 3:00 AM Est....

I only played it for like two hours since it was released. LuckyLy

any particular reason why?

Yep, I already got it preordered.

I played a good amount at the beginning but then some other games just kind of took over I definitely enjoyed MGO - I will be online playing it come the summer. There are some things they could and I'm sure will work on so this game will be polished when it hits the shelves. It was a nice change from the CoD4 hours (well, days really) I logged. I use a mic and hopefully that will be working when it comes out, it kind of sucked with the pre-recorded general things you could say. I wish it was longer too.Mujambo

well i was playing with some people who used mics.. so i dont know how sure it worked.. i didn't want to put my mic on because i was more focused on playing it myself instead of getting distracted talking to people..

Can't do 2 things at once?

I played consistently for about a day or two. Once GTA IV came out, MGO didn't stand a chance. Maybe it's because it's a very early incarnation of the game, and maybe they can fix a lot before it releases, but MGO did not really impress me. I really like the SOP system, but that's about it. Everything else, at this point in time, is subpar: graphics, weapons, sound, animations, gameplay.

I'm not trying to flame at all. I'm a huge MGS fan. But the online component does not look to really compete on the same level as modern shooters. I actually just went back to COD4 this weekend for the first time in about a month, and I was surprised at how great it is after all the time I've spent on it already. I've put in around 2 full days with COD4's online, and I'm still not sick of it, and I'd put in around 4 hours with MGO before I got sick of it. MGO has a lot of catching up to do.

I didn't get to play as much as I would have liked.

I'm not really that upset though because I couldn't do anything right anyway. I couldn't kill anyone no matter how many times I shot them and I'd die instantly in almost every confrontation. I wasn't a big fan of respawning ten miles from the action either. Maybe I was doing it wrong?

are they goin to delete our records?Keasy4

Since it was a beta, I'd say yes.

I tried it both ways. With auto aim on I was much worse. I think I just needed more practice since I haven't really seen anybody else complain about this.

not that i can't.. often i do three things at once.. play, use a mic, and IM people on my laptop.. but really i just wanted to focus on the gameplay and my own game instead of socializing or strategizing.. and now that i have a feel for it.. im ready to get down with the strategies..

Agreed. The MGO beta was a great experience. It helped a great deal when you were playing with dependable players on your team. COD4 is it's own game, as is R6V2, and soon to be MGO. All people want to do is run in and shoot any and everything that moves, and talk trash about how many kills they get or how they "own" someone else. But, let a game come around where you actually have to put some "thought" to your strategy to take out the opposing team, and all of a sudden the game isn't good or it's a rip off to another game. You all that qre quick to bash games like this can keep playing your fast paced, mindless shooting FPS or action games and feed your egos on how good you think you are. I'll appreciate tactical and stealth games that focuses on strategy and teamwork.

When will people understand that MGO is not trying to be COD? MGO is its own game, it does not need to catch up to something that it was never trying to be. I thought the beta was fun and think the final product will be even better. I loved that Metal Gear focused on the team work aspects on alot of the maps. Metal Gear is and always has been about stealth so why people think Kojima would change that just because the game has an online component is beyond me. If you like COD great however, please do not try to compare it to what MGO is trying to accomplish.ajthelegend

honestly at first i didn't like it either.. i thought it felt clunky and slow.. and things needed to be worked out.. then i also got out of the call of duty mentality.. its not a run and gun first person shooter.. its a 3rd person tactical espionage game.. and it rewards teamwork a great deal..

after realized all the possiblies and strategies.. i spent more time fooling around to see what i can do.. and i fell in love with it.. and honestly i think the graphics are up to par with most multiplayer games out there.. sure its not call of duty 4 on graphics.. but then again.. its a not a FPS.. and it has customizable character looks. (which i hope they allow you to change and edit in the final version).. which means they have to focus more handeling different types of character models.. and the maps are a lot bigger than COD.. and besides.. its a beta.. so its not the final product..

and honestly to me it looks better than Rainbow Six vegas 2 online.. which looks like it uses cardboard cutouts of grenades and stuff... and it also looks better thatn GRAW 2 online..

i think its a great change of pace from COD4 which i have been tired and sick of for about 2 months now.. doesn't mean i dont like it any more... i just need a break.. and MGO was perfect.. although i was distracted from it by GTA from time to time.. however i did get some valuble time in..

I'm upset...now I can't get my fix :(tryfe_lyn

I am too.. looks like i'll have that junkie itch till 6/12/08

First of all, the reason I'm comparing it to COD4 is that they are both supposed to be fun online shooters. I am very aware that tactical, stealth based shooters should not be judged on the same basis as a run-n-gun FPS, but one thing they should both offer to be successful is ENJOYMENT.

This is what I have based my MGO impressions on. After many, many, many hours of playing COD4 online, it is still enjoyable for me. After playing four hours of MGO, I was tired of it and actually forgot the beta was still going on until this thread told me it was over.

Like I said, strategically, MGO has promise. The SOP system is really cool and useful. Could MGO end up being great? Absolutely. The beta was unimpressive, on its own merit. The graphics were bland. The character movements were stiff (yeah, I know, that's how MGS has always been, blah blah blah). The aiming reticule is huge and imprecise. I'm sure anyone who has spent even a few minutes playing the beta ran into a situation where controls and aiming imprecision led to ridiculous close-quarters battles as two guys just dove around and weakly attempted CQC only to grasp or jab a rifle but into thin air.

And a stealth based, tactical, third-person shooter should have better cover mechanics. I'm sure it will work brilliantly in MGS4's single player campaign, but it's utterly useless online.

MGS4 FTW! MGO beta FTL.

I thought it was a great on-line shooter for a 3rd person game. Only real game I can compare it to is SOCOM. Yet I find SOCOM more run and gun. While MGO definitly takes planning. But I geuss it depends on your style of play. You can run and gun in MGO but you'll be missing out on half of what the game really is.

Nothing like stalking a person or setting up a trap. I was playing this game pretty much nonstop since beta started. Sad thing is that I purchased the COD4 map pack and ended up playing a different game. I did stop for a little bit to play GTA and beat it. But as soon as I got done with it. I went back to MGO and couldn't put is back down.

To me the funnest thing about playing on-line is competitiveness. People went after you like they had a vendetta or somthing. Things always went crazy playing that one mode with the frog. (Best mode in my opinion.) In this game there was nothing like knocking out another person with CQC then taking out his partner. What about cutting people's throats? Having 3 knocked out poeple in front of you as you take the last base. Or winning as Snake in the last 20 secs of a sneak mode.

I'm not saying I was great in the game. I barely had a 1:1 ratio. I just had allot of fun. When I played I felt the same aggressiveness I felt in COD4, SOCOM and CS. It's these type of games I look foward to playing time and time again. Though they need some improvements. If the game came out and they didn't change a thing other than more maps, modes, and weapons. I'd still be happy with it. People loved it and some people hated it. I'm pretty sure they'll be more than enough people that will be playing it next month so it doesn't really matter to me. :)

Never mastered the steep learning curve. GTA killed it for me. If this is included in MGS4 then it is a sweet bonus. If Konami attempts to make this a stand alone title IMO they have some work to do. It still reminded of a bastard child of COD4 and Warhawk.

Ended Eagle rank, AR master, level 6, roughly 10 hours, over 650 kills.

I didn't play it at all, I updated an wouldn't log in due to server errors for ages so I couldn't be bothered

It's over???? OMG!!! I lost track of time!!1 I stil wanted to play sum more!!1 :(

:P Nah, it's cool. The beta was a blast.

Im really excited for MGS4 to come out (never played one before,,, hopefully theres a lot of gameplay and not just cutscenes),,, but unless they drastically change MGO I wont pay much attention to it,,, the beta was pretty crappysignore

dude go play the first three now!!!!!

Sir although I may disagree with what you have to say but i will fight to the death to protect your right to say it.

I was highly impressed with the beta, I though the graphics were sick but my favorite thing was switching between over the shoulder and first person views, it added a really cool element.

Actually my favorite thing was the box, I used that box successfully more times then I can count on two hands, people never suspect it!
