where is meme?

if i remember correctly gene appeared pretty suddenly after it was announced, as if from nowhere.

somehow just having new maps really refreshes this game more than it should.. i mean the COD4 map pack didnt really renew my interest because i'd already got bored of it, but in this new maps mean almost completely different gameplay in some ways..

i mean thinking about GG plays completely differently from VV,,, and AA again is completely different.. CC too..

oh MGO how i admire the multiplayer antics of thee

i played the maps for 2 seconds but the maps are definitely the kind i like, the ones catered to intense shootouts.

I wish the servers were region free. We need less uptight assholes and more Japanese players...

here's a pic of the clothes we got at the WC event, it's embroidered with otacon's insignia thing

 

[rikichi]

^ that's awesome dude! got the bandanna thing going on and all too.

you're one luck ass dude for getting a paid trip to tokyo.

 

[web01]

damn whats with konami keeping us in the dark about the meme expansion release date they really need to look at improving their community relations.

 

[atomico]

(...) to celebrate this milestone Konami is launching "Metal Gear Online: Commemorative Campaign" on November 25. It will wrap up on December 9. Participating players will be awarded with 10,000 points on the closing day, and there will be a lottery to win an extra 100,000 points as well.

edit. k, so the source is actually this

 

[Facism]

well, 88% increase in profits due to MGS?

Hopefully that translates into a cheaper expansion pack


...



lol, wishful thinking.

 

[Steroyd]

Looks like I'll be logging in sometime this weeks to get my free points, buried in a load of games at the moment and LBP, Resistance 2 and Valkyrie Chronicles on the wish list it's going to be some long ass time before I boot up MGO again.

 

[MNC]

So, when I pick up MGS4, I'm sure to play MGO atleast once. How's that part of the game? Does it feel tacked on? Is it very nicely full-fledged? How is the lag? Lotsa players online? Did it get alot of attention (from the devs) like any other MP, say Halo? (Ducks for flames)

I thought they've done a decent job with the online mode. The reward shop adds some spice and life to game. Its also unique because its the only shooter to feature cqc, fun traps, and stunning. Sneaking and teamsneaking are the best modes in the game.

The major downside though is the rotten community and terrible lag that ruins the game. The game has so many assholes who teamstack, kick for lame reasons, and grief. I don't play halo 3 much but I think there is more cheating in mgo most online console games. Konami is a joke when it comes to dealing with cheaters too.

I wish mgo has the theatre mode from H3 so i can record matches.

 

[Nozdeuce]

So I'm alive again. Long story short MGS4 killed my disc drive...back in August. Was MGOing less by then anyway so I sat around lazy and slummed it off betas until I finally sent it in. Just got it back.

So hows things? I know I'm late, but congratz Coolio.

I know aside from the tourny updates this thread has been kinda quiet, are people playing in secret?

The EU BeeUnit is dead.

 

[Steroyd]

The EU BeeUnit is dead.

Beeunit was DOA, with only a few of us holding the fort for a while.

 

[DunpealD]

The EU BeeUnit is dead.

Indeed and Waspunit is in hiatus as in "we have no time for MGO". Because we have used most time of our long holidays spending time with MGO, so we're completely fed up right now.

It's sad, but I have to agree with GeneralIroh. Everytime I play MGO for at least an hour or a little bit survival I always meet fullblown retards writing "camper", "noobs", "LOOOOOOL YOU GOT OWNED"x 100, "You nerds" and some other people being cowards who enjoy insulting people in their language which of course isn't english.

Also the grenade warps, box diving, lag switching or cheating in general, as well as unbalanced maps doesn't help this game.

For now I just want to get away from it and enjoy other games. Even though I miss somewhat the "old" WaspUnit days.

 

[Dibbz]

It's a shame really that I havn't played MGO in quite a while. I always say to myself that I will play it soon but with so many other games out this quater it's really hard to make time for it.

Doesn't help I'm trying to study so I need to make time for that.

Socom is out here in the UK soon and I might pick that up. Any EU WaspUnit members getting it?

This is my case as well, that and I still don't feel like I can go back to MGO and just have fun with it again, Giving it some more time I guess. (no expansion for me.)

 

[Zyzyxxz]

I doubt I'll ever come back to MGO, so guys, it was fun while it lasted.

I'm graduating soon and with little free time I will have I can't devote to old games.

Too bad I bought the expansion...only played it for one day

 

[so_awes]

haven't played this in months so i tried it last weekend and i can't play this game....everybody is too good. i get hit with a headshot everytime...

 

[xintin]

edit - lulz forgot joyst*q was banned. info there if you want to read more on it.
MEME on the 25th ($9.99USD), but you can pre-order it starting tomorrow. nice way to avoid the trouble that happened with GENE I guess. bringing new modes as well as maps and chars (stealth DM sounds fun)

started a new character recently so i'll probably be picking it up.
the 10000 free RP promotion starts the 25th too, so maybe that can draw some players back:lol

 

[Dunk#7]

Anybody think that, or know if, the MEME expansion will end glitching. It is the only thing bringing this game down. I'm so sick of glitching and I don't know why Konami won't do anything about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




BTW does anybody know me on MGO?

Character: Dunk
Level: 9
Rank: Foxhound
Clan: H.R.L.

 

[Shalashaska_BR]

Can anyone from Portugal help a fellow Brazilian buy the MEME Expansion? Please!

Ilparazzo helped me buy the GENE Expansion, but he didn't answer my PM, I guess he is busy or something...

If anyone can help me please PM me. I'll even pay you more than the actual expansion price if you help me!

Oh, and add me!

PSN: ShalashaskaBR
MGO: ShalashaskaBR+

EDIT: Ilparazzo helped me buy the MEME Expansion! Thanks man, you're the best!

 

[GeneralIroh]

I'm liking the new stealth death match. I wonder if they fixed the glitches yet. Zone of the Enders music ftw!
I wish they included more game modes and weapons.

I also like how the game lets you set and save certain clothes and gear to certain maps.

Stealth Deathmatch - A free-for-all deathmatch where all characters are equipped with stealth. The area you fight in get's smaller as time passes. Every player has only one life. Ghost mode is on.

???? - Not available yet (maybe it requires MEME).

[web01]

wow sweet shirt

W.W is an amazing map the amount of effort they put into it is ridiculous puts all the maps they ripped from 1 player to shame. Also has a great range of close quaters areas and huge open spaces for snipers.

 

[xintin]

18) When one of the team disappeared from the Free Battle, the game becomes invalid match.

THIS.
f*ck off Fakehounds

edit - looks like you get 100RP for every day logged in now

 

[Dave1988]

Bought MEME. So, any Eurogaffers willing to play MGO or are we truly a dead clan?

 

[BigBoss]

Remember at the end of Act 4 when it looked like Ocelot died of FOXDIE and then started running backwards and laughing at Snake? You can do that and its awesome. :lol

 

[web01]

^^^ haha I love doing that.
Making ocelot say BANG! still brings a smile to my face every time.

Also ghillie suits came out today they are so awesome love hiding in the grass in F.F and poping out to cqc someone they never see it coming.

 

[-Winnie-]

Is it worth it for an Aussie to buy MEME? I kinda regret getting GENE, since I can't even play survival because of the times.

 

[web01]

Yeah its worth there is lots of Aussie meme games going from the late afternoon to around midnight. Plus alot of us still play survival despite the 4am survival time just got to be early or pull an all nighter.

What are the times for Tournament like for us? I am tempted to get MEME, since it's only like $10.

 

[web01]

No one knows when the tournaments are starting or what times yet just says coming soon.Hopefully its starting this week it took survival mode 1 week to start when they released gene.

 

[GeneralIroh]

Annnnnnd it looks like the glitchers are back.

 

[Dunk#7]

It must be a new method because I have a friend who knew how. I called him and he tried the old ways. He said it was impossible to glitch now.

They must have found a new way.

Man, I was so excited to play glitch free MGO. MGO is my favorite online game of all time and glitching is the only thing that brings it down.


I'm sure there won't be as many glitchers as there used to be because some of the top glitchers got banned (ninovago).



Character Name: Dunk
Level: 11
Rank: Foxhound
Clan: Toy-Soldiers

 

[web01]

Are most the glitchers on the US servers or something? I play survival all 3 days of each weekend and have only came across two teams of glitchers both of which we easily beat.

 

[Facism]

I can't find any information on what the UK pricing is for MEME. Anything more than £4 and you can count me out.

 

[Steroyd]

I can't find any information on what the UK pricing is for MEME. Anything more than £4 and you can count me out.

It's double that.

 

[Facism]

It's double that.

Not touching it, then.

I bet they haven't even made GENE free for the rest of the community either.

 

[Steroyd]

Well you can get both expansions in a £12 bundle.

 

[Facism]

Well you can get both expansions in a £12 bundle.

that's cute of them.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I find myself playing significantly worse in HD. is it because of input lag? are there any remedies for this?

 

[xBerserker]

I played in a MGO Tournament last night. My team lost the first round and that was it :lol Got 200 points for it at least.

Do you need to have MEME to play tournaments ?
