Don't think this has been linked yet here: some japanese players are pretty disappointed with MGO3 and have been an online petition to port MGO2 to PS4.
Also a twitter account.

I'm okay with this.
Didn't they release MGO2 as a standalone in Japan? How hard can it be.

That's me as a scout. Just hiding and marking. I've gotten most xp on my team several times without any kill the whole match.

You know, unless the Serval AMR7 changes things big time I really don't see the point of sniping right now.

Why does Kojima Productions have such trouble with camo patterns, it was the same way in MGSV and MGO2.
Woodland might as well be a night camo with how dark and jumbled the patern is.
Finally Multicam is so soft and missing shades that its basically a desert brown.
MGO2 & 3 Desert Chocolate Chip might as well be snow camoMG:

There really needs to be a limit on the amount of thrown objects you can use within a certain amount of time. The amount of Stun Grenade/Grenade/E-Locator spam in most games is ridiculous.
Something as simple as adding a 10 second cooldown per throw-able would make all the difference.

Yeah I'd love this, the more I play MGO3 the more I want to play MGO2. It just isn't a good replacement.

Man lag is horrendous today.
Need to remove Rush mode, dumbest shit ever.

Switching code-base from PPC to x86. Switching on the servers they turned off ages ago. Paying for said servers despite MGO2 not going to be pretty popular.
That level of hard.
It's not bad. But it isn't great either.
CQC range and netcode is the truly awful things.
Along with Infiltrators, THOUSANDS OF THEM
I'm inclined to say it's a decent drop, because 99% of the players I encounter now are Japanese. I get the occasional North/South American, but mostly glorious Nippon.
So... typical MGO then? The bigger question is: Will they fix the issues MGO has unlike the MGS4 version which was completely ignored.
It's not typical at all. MGO2 had regular weekly tournaments and survival modes, which were official modes hosted by Konami. Hell, they even hosted world championship tournaments in Japan. It had a proper clan system and ranking system. They didn't plan on having MGO2 last that long, so I'm guessing they did pretty well.

Plus wasn't MGO2's servers region locked? I remember the EU server doing decently, the main server Otacon was always near full and completely full when survival was on.
Yes it was region locked, EU/NA/JP servers were separated and despite that the main servers would often be full. The game even had a proper lobby system.

It's a couple patches away from being something really cool but as it stands this is gonna die faster than you can say "Evolve"
Balance is whack. Scouts are trash, infiltrators are stupid early and when enforcers catch up with the broken shit the game turns into a fucking mess.
Yeah. But those did not come until later. MGO2 at launch is kinda similar to 3. A few maps and game modes, no tourneys or clans. But who knows what Konami has lined up for DLC or anything for this. I expect more maps maybe and that's probably it.
You're right, but the base game this time is so limited that I don't think they really plan on anything other than more MB coin gear and new maps. It only has three modes... The previous one started with seven modes, nine if you count training and interval, and had four new ones patched into the game. And on top of that had Survival/Tournament modes via DLC.

Not releasing along with the games launch, and with such an unbalanced state, this is going to die off fairly quick. They already lost so many players by releasing almost a month after initial game release.

I don't recall tournaments and survival modes at launch. I could be wrong.
It didn't, Survival was released with the GENE DLC, Tournament came afterwards.
Online has changed since 2008. It's no longer about the novelty of playing with others. It has become a feature with expectations.
MGO3 is closer to the tacked on multiplayer you see with games like Spec Ops: The Line or Tomb Raider than it is to something that will last. It won't survive the winter. I doubt it'll make it two weeks before it's in worrying shape.

This is exactly how I feel about MGO3 is as well.
It is generic, and I think most people saw this coming as it wasn't made by the same devs that worked on the previous two.

I dont really feel like it generic at all. I just think their have been some very poor decisions made about the design and its lacking content. This game could be good but i dont think it with survive the wait it will take to get it there. Still having more fun with it than the SW Beta, that feels generic as fuck
I meant it's generic in relation to the other MGO games. But like I said everyone who has been following MGO3 knows this was going to happen. Kojima even said he wanted to make sure MGO3 was more popular for the western audience because the other two were more popular in Japan.

Yeah same. I loved MGO 2 but this is a pretty great follow up. I've been having some of the most fun I've had playing multiplayer since MGO 2.
Just started leveling Enforcer last night. Love that LMG.

Opening up a new studio for the online mode sure was worth it.

Well then you can hardly use those two as examples of the game being barebones in comparison. It's pretty obvious to me that they have DLC plans, for good or ill.
Lmao.
Maybe it comes back to that phantom pain thing. Kojima is a genius.
3 modes vs 7/9, no clan system, no actual lobby systems. It's still pretty barebones to me.
Survival/Tournament weren't really "modes" actually, they were systems that allowed for competitive match making with pre-made parties/teams which would go on to face other teams in team related modes like Rescue/Race etc. Wining teams during survival would gain reward points to buy gear, and wining teams in tournament would get unique gear items like a pink beret.

I've seen guys literally put stealth on after I saw them then just start casually walking like nothing happened. Funniest thing I've seen so far.
Info on the unlocks for each type, and the prize for Ascending.

Don't see squid or croc headwears on there. And level 37+ it's the same suits(battle dress, sneaking) but you can change the colors? One player was wearing a battle bikini at TGS

There's like 8 ascensions IIRC. Who knows if they'll unlock anything worthwhile aside from more colors

Other gear looks to be coming in a future update.

I don't know if its AWFUL
but its certainly not "good", in any objective or subjective usage of that descriptor. Its like the tacked-on multiplayer you get in games like Tomb Raider or whatever.
I have no idea what happened in here. Yes, the lag is bad at times, but it's rarely ruined things for me. Hosts may be jerks and quit mid-game, but I only see it in Bounty Hunter, really. I find this thread turned unfairly sour in an instant, but I guess that's just opinions.
EDIT: I've had no experience with MGOs in the past, but if this is what exists now, it's damn fun. People make it out to sound non-functional or broken when I don't see either of those things.
