I (as someone who has only played Enforcer so far) had been feeling that the Infiltrator nerf was a bit much, however last night I'm beginning to think it was fine. Though I still mow down more Infilitrators than those who get me, I forgot that Infilitrator was meant to be a more difficult class for more advanced players. Last night I kept running into a trio of Infiltrators who were absolute monsters on the field, basically each individual being able to carry their whole team alone. Many times I had racked up a +8 or something and was looking to win when one managed to sneak up behind me, knock me out, then fulton me and win the game for his team. As more figure out how to succeed I think they'll be just as potent as before.

I love playing as infiltrator. I'm noticing more of them being cautious but since the beginning I played infiltrator like in mgo2. Using the cqc skills and not relying on the cloak. I am noticing more enforcers though damn shield lol

Yeah, double handing a shield is like god mode for face-to-face firefights. I've been using it to distract people on Walker gears hoping my team gets the hint to sneak around behind to take them out.

So this game is practically dead on PS4. Last night, I searched for custom matches using "Any" in all fields, and I only found 5 matches total.
It was a problem on Konami's end. They fixed it.

Oh okay. I was really worried for a minute.

Does anyone know how you report glitches and exploits. I found a glitch exploit in black site

The one where someone is getting kills from under the map while no one can do anything about it?

Yeah I found the spot where you can go in under map shoot or tag anyone.

Between the nonsense host disconnects and level rubberbanding I feel like Konami owes everyone a month's worth of XP boost. Just tonight my level bounced back twice after a match's completion.

Played some MGO yesterday. Only did bounty hunter, but it felt basic to me. What's with the 5 minute rounds? Where's the humor? The smut mags and other trolling options? MGO2 was epic.
Hope I just scratched the surface.

You can still choke them out instead of throwing them down. I just started playing infiltrator on Sunday and my go-to has been grab>interrogate>choke>Fulton. If there's other enemy around them I just slam them into the ground and follow it up with a few SMG rounds in their head before running away like a coward.

Choking is shit due to the fact 80% of the time the enemy buddy will spawn on you since it takes so long to grab, choke and fulton.

I'm only level 12 but currently I manage to choke people out 3-4 times a match, and Fulton at least 2 of them. I mostly hunt for snipers to choke out since they seem to be least observant of their local surroundings.

That's probably the best part of the patch. Throw was way too OP. What's the point of choking if you can just quickly throw?
If you wanna stun with a throw then follow up with the stun shotgun.
But the stun shotgun is also two shots for stun even at point blank, the whole non lethal approach is shit when coupled with lag (granted lag has been consistently bad).
The risk/reward for playing (non-lethal-ish loadouts) infiltrator is just no bueno, until you reach fulton cannons, fulton 3.

Throws make noise and reveal your position on the mini map, while choking doesn't.

Throw is so quick that noise doesn't even seem to matter. I can run in, throw a guy to the ground, shoot several rounds into them, then skedaddle before their allies really notice. It would just be unfair if I could quickly fulton them, because then their team has to decide between targeting me or the balloon. At least this way I'm for sure their target, since they're not distracted by me fultoning a +7 guy.

So I played a few matches today after a long break (SW:Battlefront and BO3 came out) and it's pretty much dead right ?
And then there's a bunch of cheaters who glitch under the map and murder everyone.

It's not dead. I find full matches all the time and in seconds in automatch.
That's the black site glitch. It's fairly common.

Hm, if it's dead and full of cheaters, it might be time to delete mgsv from my hard drive. I haven't really played mgo much, and it sounds like there won't be much reason to start.

Yeah that glitch is annoying and way to easy to pull off. I hope they patch it soon.
I'm considering renting MGSV for a couple of weeks to get some MGO3 time in since I played the main game at a friend's house and didn't like it enough to purchase it myself. I did like the core gameplay a lot and I'm a vet of the first two MGOs. So... yeah.
How's the population on PS4? I'm seeing complaints that it's dead but then others are saying that was just a glitch. Is the truth somewhere in-between, or is it genuinely healthy?

PS4 has the healthiest population from what I've been reading on different MGO forums/sites.
It did certainly dip when Fallout 4 came out (myself included), but I haven't had any trouble finding matches as of late and there are many 'custom' matches going at peak times. If you are just renting it I say go for it and try it out.
However, shatter any expectations of MGO 2. It is not MGO 2 and if you want MGO 2, you will not find it. While it is understandable to compare, you will set yourself up for disappointment if you do not come to terms that this is a different game and you have to learn it "again".
I enjoy it for what it is but of course, your opinion may vary!
If you're a vet of MGO1&2, which were the best online shooters ever imo, then MGO3 is a no go!
It's just like a TPS version of CoD or BF, pretty similar.
Animal Rank coming on 1.02, no t-shirts this time tho, only a GP bonus comes with the rank.

Decided to boot this up and play a few rounds of MGO again...keep in mind, that I hadn't really kept up with the community...but holy shit, what are these changes? This SUCKS. Moving slower while cloaked...throwing an enemy no longer knocks them unconscious. Might've seemed unbalanced, but it was kinda part of the appeal to me. Total nerf to the stealth class I enjoyed playing as, and pretty much feels like you have to use a gun now.
Fuck this...now my urge to ever play this again is gone.

Why even bother playing if you aren't incredibly OP?
Set your perks if you want your throws to knock people out.
You can fucking sprint+CQC for an instant takedown fulton.
