Metal Gear Beta testing over =(

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!

I know... I used it alot too.. but as a result I always suspected it so it never worked on me.. bwuahaha

I thought it was ok, but there is A LOT to get used to.Denji

I agree, the learning curve is pretty steep mainly because your using controls made for slow, sneaky movment to do high speed run'n'gun, as soon as you play as Snake you noitce that the controls work perfectly for the octo camo... Its a shame the devs didnt think of this and changed stuff like mainly the cover system when playing as your character.

Oh and also....STILL HATE THE CRANE CAMERA

Good for single player...BUT NOT FOR MULTIPLAYER!

I was hoping for a straight over the shoulder or FPV cam you can change and keep it that way. Kinda like an option in the camera part of the options. And what's with that instant headshot trick anyways? Looks like it's still there. I've seen guys take on a bunch of people all headshots, moving fast and 1 bullet (like in the last MGO)

Oh well.

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. :)

Socom is the same way my friend. It all depends on the way you play the game.
