Beware of VENT: So I've always thought my psn was pretty decent, but to be honest I've never known anybody who had a ps3 before other then myself So I never knew if it was easy or hard to play with them. Everyone I knew had a 360. Finally one of my best friends had a ps3 so I was like yo lets play some MGO I haven't played it in months. So we start it up and wait an hour and a half to download a patch(1.33). Finally his finishes, but at the very end his MGO froze and he had to restart it. I finished my download and when it loads I goto the reward store just to have to freeze on me. It claimed it was still loading, but I tried to close the browser and it showed the loading screen, but nothing loaded after 5 minutes of seeing the background stuff constantly moving etc. This game by far has the worst log in I have ever seen in my life. Completely makes PSN's service useless. The community is completely non existent.

Also there are NO servers meant for newbies so it was VERY hard for me and my friend to find a compatible server in which we can both join. He is level 5 and I am level 3 and the servers that were available had average levels of 9+. So finally I find a newbie server that says "Newbies ONLY!!!!!!!!!!" So when I get there I play one round and have no idea what match type it is or what I'm suppose to do. I just see a bunch of zombies running at me. Next thing you know a guy says "kick xxxx(me)" I reply "What am I doing wrong?" Boom I'm banned!. 3 hours of waiting to play a game for ****. Honestly I thought MGS4 was a solid 10 for me until I tried playing with a friend. Worst community online experience this gen by far. I don;t blame PSN because in the past I have set up decent games with my parties using COD4. All I'm saying is whoever is the network managers at Konami need to be replaced for being so ****ing stupid. Vent Over. Also before people automatically say "He sucks!!!" I have 170 kills and 70 deaths which I don't think is bad at all for a beginner.

Last time I checked, MGO wasn't exactly praised either, so I don't think it's really overrated.

I don't hear many people hyping it tremendously. It's certainly not spectacular, or even all that great, but since no-one tries to harp about it, it's not exactly overrated.

it was for several months but not any more, and that game as a whole is over rated. it is a damn good game and if i ever choose to get a ps3 i will get it, but it is far from the end all be all cows claim it is. ps. just because i dont own a ps3 does not mean i cant play its games

I'm confused here, you say its overrated but then you say you haven't played it, and then you say that you have? .......

Exactly, i loved the gameplay, but it just got so tedious by the bad menus, bad login crap, bad reward system. Whoever was the online producer should be fired.

MGO is actually quite fun... but getting into it is not worth the effort because of that crappy konami ID.

Nah, Im with ya. Same with the guy that has the foxhound emblem I think. We are few in numbers but its cool because alot mgo'ers know each other lol. Its a preferred taste I think and mainly for the big time fans of mgs with a tolerance of lag and inconvenient menus :P

Whatever, I wouldnt trade anything for mgo since its one of a kind

The characters move so slow that it makes it very easy for headshots. The faster the characters are in online TPSs/FPSs, the less useful sniper rifles are.

I really hate that, when a perfectly good online game is ruined by somethins so trivial. Its a similar case with GeoW2. Even worse since they already had a good set-up from GeoW1.

You must be ignorant to the definition of "over-rated," because frankly, Metal Gear Online gets a significant amount of flack for it's lackluster user interface.

You do know MGO does not use PSN? It use it own severs, why do you think it makes you go through a long and difficult process just to sign up? Why do you think the updates take 2 hours to download? (I still havent updated mine) Atleast its lagg free.

I also enjoy MGO but when I first got it, it was a pain just to get it started. I'm surprise that there is alot of people still playing it and that is still lagg free.

The find compatible games thing can be said for any online game. For example , on my xbox 360 I went a week before I got to play a full game of online multiplayer for Grand Theft Auto 4. Whenever I would join a player match to learn the modes before going into ranked, I was constantly getting kicked in the lobby. Then I try ranked matches but then I'm kicked for not holding my own since I'm going trial and error. It wasn't till I was venting on the mic a guy said he'd make a room for me, low and behold I got to play all the online modes with the guy and his crew and on top of that it was with a rockstar developer as I got the achievement. So trust me any game can be a nightmare online.

MGO is not overrated.

At this point, everyone outside of a tiny hardcore community realizes how terrible it is.

I have 170 kills and 70 deaths which I don't think is bad at all for a beginner.

You say it took an hour and a half to download the update?, that's not just an update mate that's pretty much the entire MGO game and all the expansion packs and all the new free maps, an hour and a half aint that bad considering the amount it's downloading (however i have less than a 2meg connectionm myself and downloaded it all recently in less than an hour), the freezing browser? that's nothing to do with MGO that's just the PS3's browser, anyone with a PS3 and who uses it will tell you it sometimes freezes and has nothing to do with games (try deleting the cache in the browser that sometimes helps), yeah i'll give you the login issue BUT heres the trick you only have to do it ONCE and it takes less than 2 minutes to do then after that it's automatic and never seen again. The community non exisistant? yeah this game is a niche game BUT it's actully got quite a following, you say there are no servers for newbiies?, there is a whole section dedicated to being a newbie and being trained to play the game with actual proper players who will teach you how to play (and which when your trained up you can graduate to being a trainer yourself), then on top of this there is an entire section for low level player (2 sections i think, i forget there names) and then there are the sections for all the higher level players (as well as the tourney sections), so saying there is no place for newbies is just not true. Now as for the "i get there and play a round and have no idea what match type i'm in or what i'm suppose to do" comment, did it cross your mind to read the start of the round info when you joined the server?, they're big pop up messages that actully tell you what to do in the round and they're not exactly small either BUT if somehow you missed/skipped them there is the map rules tab at the ready up section aswell, you may have 170 kills and only 70 deaths BUT that mean nothing if you don't actully look at what your supposed to be doing, maybe you got banned for TKing, you say you had no idea what you were doing and all you could see were zombies running around, maybe you did something wrong and shot a team mate more than once (i'm just guessing on this one). My advice, try the game again BUT this time pay a bit more attention, read the map rules at the start of a map to make sure of gametype and what your supposed to do in that gametype, join the newbie section servers (look mainly for games with a smiley green face) so you can play with the lower levels and if you have trouble with no understanding th egame types then join a training server and find out. As for MGO being overhyped, it's actully very very underhyped.

Umm I think I've played maybe 3 games of MGO in my lifetime. I'm pretty sure me and about 98% of others who bought MGS4 bought it for the single player.
