I love the breadth of music selection, while I miss being able to choose individual tracks as the previous poster said it picks up when necessary and fits certain modes perfectly. MGS1 set doesn't auite go with base capture or TDM though.

Game is a diamond in the rough. Mechanics are stellar, maps are interesting and overall it works. It needs balancing badly though, stuff like D-Walker shouldn't touch comm matches with a ten foot pole.
I don't mind it as much, the problem is defending players in C&D using stealth, now THAT'S fucking stupid.

Yup, Bounty Hunter become cqc battlefield.
Right there with you brother, whole heartedly agree.

I interrogated someone yesterday at just the right moment. It revealed the entire other team and my guys were able to reign absolute death on the other team once I marked them. Being a sneaky guy may be harder and not net you guaranteed kills/stuns but when you pull it off it is THE BEST.
Finally managed to get into some games yesterday and I have to say I had a surprisingly good time. Cloak and Dagger felt actually tactical and I had some great close encounters. Bounty Hunter was in comparison quite a mess, but there were some cool moments where my buddy saved me from getting fultoned.
Not sure how to really feel about the stealth camo. I guess otherwise stealth would be too hard, but I feels like it's just the easy way out to make the player mostly invisible.

I was not able to play this game even after 20 minutes waiting for the matchmaking yesterday.
One friend of mine was able to get a single match after 45 minutes waiting.
Entering a private match works, but matching it's a joke. Wasn't even able to get a match when picking a room.
What the hell is going on?

What do you mean by that mgs3 video?
Just abandon match making, I never bothered with it in MGO2 either. Search for the game you want and have fun.

That's the point: I wasn't able to play even when searching, finding and picking a room... It's says that I "lost connection to the host" or something like that.
I'll try again later today.
I don't think so. I'm playing with a Japanese copy in New Zealand and I can party up with my local buddies fine.
Oddly enough we're just finding Japanese players in our lobbies though lol.
EDIT: And yeah stealth camo in Bounty Hunter can be a pain in the ass on the larger maps.
Cycle to page 3 or 4 and you will get a match.
The stealth camo/lethal weapon combo is complete bullshit. In saying that, here's some Infiltrator non-lethal CQC gameplay from our GAF session earlier.

Next time I'll disable Snake & Ocelot, and get rid of the timer on Bounty Hunter matches.

Most people dont have Camo rank 2. Once they get it, it's a little bit harder to spot them when stealth.
In comparison, I can easily see them cloak while walking and crouching with rank 1. But with rank 2 its hard to see them while crouch.
You can create a game without the timer for Bounty Hunter? Sweet! One of my biggest gripes was how short games seemed to be.
Absolutely loving the online with the exception of those games where D-Walker is utilized. I really hope they release the ability to toggle these off.
Wait until they start facing Enforcer with Rank 2 sensor. I get a warning any time an Infiltrator is nearing me. Since i've had it, its hard for them to get the jump on me.

They really need to change the music when a target is captured in TSNE like in MGO2, I always forget that it's been taken...
In cloak and dagger, am I able to take down a defender with non-headshot tranqs? I hit a guy 3 times before he ran away and I was expecting him to be asleep behind a corner but he wasn't. My reticle turned whitish blue just after I fired, which I thought meant that I hit him.
Started watching to see some top-level stealth infiltrator action, see you be the first death in the game and then immediately after commit suicide.
Pretty much. People should wait at least a week before making judgement of what's overpowered and what isn't. On a side note no ZoE music and "Calling to the Night" is a real bummer.

But it does change. Which music set are you using?
Yeah you can, but it's different to tranquing in single player. The "sleepiness" is on a timer, and if they can get to safety before you adequately tranq them, it'll wear off. It's actually identical to damage from lethal weapons in that it has to add up.

bruv it does change. I use the MGS4 MGO set 1 and i nearly shit myself whenever the music changes after someone picks up the target.

Is everyone saying that the stealth camo is over powered?

Really upset my CE stuff isn't unlocked. I want my helmet!
I don't think it is. They're very easy to spot and have low health.

So is free roam single person only? Like I'm in a group with other party members but we're all in our own free roam lobby?
Stone Ocean

It's not, it's very manageable in BH, it just makes C&D really boring when the defenders just start using it to camp targets.

You right. I dunno, guess I really wasn't paying attention lol. Map should blink or something
Facism

single only. it's a bit of a missed opportunity. If you had the whole party in the free-roam, you could fuck about and cqc each other whilst waiting for a game
Specifically, when most of the defenders in the Comm Uplink mode are using stealth camo with lethal weapons, it's really annoying.

Is it any more stable today? Had a horrible time getting into a game last night.

Despite not having played a single game last night, I feel somewhat accomplished as I did at least update my PS4 to 3.0 and got MGO installed. Baby steps.
Did mess about in free roam for about 30 minutes shooting targets and getting familiar with the controls again, so I'll be ready to get into a few matches finally. I actually have a rare weekend to myself, so I'm sure I'll be putting in an ungodly number of hours...hehe.
Already seems like this game will be much better playing with people that know what they're doing, and know enough not to kill someone actively being fultoned.

yes indeed. Class loadouts should really be restricted in that mode. I took the bulldog shotgun as an attacker and that shit wrecks. I'd like to see how it plays out when everything is unlocked, though. I could see this working competitively with locator grenades etc.
Hopefully they keep on top of the game with updates and patches, considering what shaky ground game development is sitting on at Konami.

It happened to me yesterday then I played for an hour and after that I was unable to join a match. i hope today it will be more stable.
Thats why you throw sensor grenade to scan them out...

Anyone discover if can edit a 2nd or 3rd charcter after creation? My character kinda looks wrong in-game compared to character creation.
It didn't bother me at first but I'm level 11 now and it's annoying me. I might delete and re-roll.
Speaking of re-rolling, I spent (free) MB coins on a camo, will I keep that camo?

Yeah, I think it would be a good idea for stealth to become inactive for defenders when they are in close proximity to the disc.
