are there enough gaffers to form a tournament/survival team? i really want to get the frog outfit (20k rwd) :lol

Probably. The problem is that they're never around. Although, I usually participate in both if and when I'm around.

I reinstalled MGS4 and Konami ID is giving me bullshit...

I try to recover and both methods give errors.

A deleted KONAMI ID can not be checked even if you were to enter the correct e-mail address.

Did Konami delete the IDs of dissidents who called their service a fucking piece of shit?

yeah I will probably give it a try a few times in the next little while. Is the patch that was going to change a few things out already or coming soon?

Version 1.30 was released when SCENE was released.

I'll have to go look at Coolio's thread in the gaming forum, that patch, or one coming later, was going to reduce the invincibility frames while being spray and prayed but I was finding that enemies still were hesitant to die without headshots.

the frames are reduced but enemies are still a little hesitant. if you get a chance though, fire straight for the torso and see how quickly you can take em down.

Does anyone have any tips on how to be good in knife-based matches without auto aim?
I've quit trying with knife based matches because there are still to many cheaters using the lag switch to warp and escape when they never should be able to.

Thanks Coolio, I did get a few kills with it. Sadly I led my team in points one round with only 5 points.

Going to ask a few beginner questions,
Is the autoaim in the menu good? I always turned it off sp and mp but I remember L1(?) lock-on in MGS3 to be pretty useful.

What should I do with skills? Right now I have lvl1 runner, hawkeye, assault rifle, pistol

Only level up what you think you'll need. I recommend leveling assault rifle, smg, cqc, monomania, and sixth sense to name a few.

I managed to get assault rifle to level 2, it looks like the bar has stopped so level 3 will be a very long time. I've started to see the light of monomania and will be keeping it active. For sixth sense i do not get trapped often but I have been in ED lobby so that could change.

Do character levels(mine or theirs) effect leveling skills in any way?
If I only set level 1 of ar/smg/cqc would they still earn points between level 2 and 3?

I've also figured out the auto aim on my own since it seems to work like MGO1 and can be quickly toggled on and off. I don't know why the option menus even let people disable it permanently.
 
So I've just started trying to play this and really don't understand how to get into it. How am I supposed to get levels? It's rare to find a game I can even join at level 0 it seems.

I played the original MGO (MGS3 subsistence version) and it was awesome. How does this stack up against that? So far it is proving to be almost less fun. I played that urban level from the original and people were just spamming RPGs everywhere for whatever reason.

So I guess how does leveling up/weapon skill level work? And when do I start having fun?

id start in the beginner lobby. it should have an special icon next to it, i think its 2 lobbies above otacon.

it's really different from mgo1, but it's astill a lot of fun when you get into it. has the same spirit.

and skills level by equipping them and using whatever is relevant to them
 
Metal Gear Online Update 1.31 brings the option to purchase additional content using PlayStation®Network wallet. Just select the in game menu “MGO Shop(PlayStation®Network)”. The MGO shop now keeps you within the game itself. You can press square on the item you want to purchase to learn more and it opens a web browser with more info. If you press x you are taken to the PlayStation Store to purchase.

But I have a feeling that if you search for MGO content on the PlayStation Store itself, it won’t be there, but let me know if it is. The 1.31 update itself is pretty small so it doesn’t take long. Be sure to select the HTTP download.

Right now I’ve been splitting my gaming time between Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Online. Both are fun games, but there is always stuff to unlock with Metal Gear Online, that why I keep going back to it. My MGO name is xBerserker if your curious. There is also some bonus points being handed out:

BONUS REWARD POINTS giveaway campaign has been extended due to the delay of PlayStation®Network wallet payment option
Due to the delay of PlayStation®Network wallet payment option, we will extend the BONUS REWARD POINTS giveaway campaign for players who use the PlayStation®Network wallet payment option ONLY. Please note that the date the bonus rewards points given can vary.

◆Bonus rewards points will be given after the scheduled maintenance on 4/7/2009 for players who purchased the subjected item at the WEB site or MGO ONLINE SHOP before the beginning of scheduled maintenance on 3/31/2009.

◆Bonus rewards points will be given after the schedule maintenance on 4/28/2009 for players who purchased the subjected item ingame at the MGO Shop(PlayStation®Network) from 4/1/2009 to the beginning of scheduled maintenance on 4/21/2009.

Konami is taking its sweet time with the new gear. I'm still waiting and saving my reward points for that Robbie mask, but who knows when we'll actually get that.

is it just ne or are the servers really slow since the scene pack dropped? I can be in the lobby for 3 minutes looking at a blank screen before it finally joins a game(no exaggeration).

It's possible. MGO has some bad lag. Either that, or your connection is faulty.

A little old, but I just discovered this on the official MGO site:

Notice regarding issues currently under investigation
Please note that we are currently in the process of investigating and addressing the following glitches.
We apologize for any problems that these issues may have caused.

・While Vamp is a ghost, his "howl" is not played.
・If someone "speaks" during the Skill screen of the Briefing, the chat window opens, but text is not displayed.
・In Solo Capture mode, the player in 1st place won't sing the "Victory Song" during the map result.
・When a Type E female character equips the "Woodland" face paint, the "Water" face paint is displayed instead.
・The settings for Solo Capture cannot be set using Skill Preset.
・There are occasions when names that start with "#" are not displayed properly.
・There are occasions when only the HEAD portion of the Ghillie Suit is displayed.
・The count for Withdrawals increases even during Training.

In addition, we are verifying several other bugs, and are looking into parameter adjustments and visual updates for certain weapons and attacks including the Mk.23 and CQC-EX. Details on these issues will be given at a later date. Thank you very much for your continued patience and understanding.
 
Just so you know guys, I am still active and play almost every night. Under this alias and another in the GAF clan. I play mostly TSNE though. Fun fun fun!
 
I like my black motorcycle helmet. It goes well with the black armor with shoulder pads. I kinda look like an ODST from halo.

The new mode sounds ok but the random Patriot thing is retarded. People are just going to quit the room or kick the player with it if the patriot is a cheap weapon.

If they're going to include an uber weapons like the patriot they should make it spawn in the map in a random hard to reach locations during a certain time like in mgo1 with the rpg, flamethrower and machine gun.
Thats what they should've done with the rpg in the first place.

I haven't been playing mgo as much as before because i've been focusing on Operation 7. This game is gun porn! There are so many guns and combinations you can mess with. The guns jam if you don't maintain them but gold is given out constantly for playing each round even if you lose.

I think mgo would be better if it had a gun economy system like O7 where you have to buy your guns and attachments with reward points. The reward points would then have to be given to people even if they were playing in the non ranked freebattle room. More points would be given to those who play in survival and tournament but it should really depend on who plays the longest.

I believe a system like this would allow mgo to have all the guns from the single players ,attract more players or keep them playing.
Special ammo like the grenade launcher round would be 1 time use and you would have to buy it again after using it in a match.

so I just started playing this (dind't touch it since the beta), during my first hours I found some servers for newbies with minimal lag and it was fun, now I joined another server and it was full of boxes with legs that would suddenly turn into human beings headshotting you in the blink of an eye, is this the way MGO is meant to be played? framerate / lag are atrocius in these servers too... wtf Konami?

So true every time I want to get back to it those boxes instantly makes me do a 180° turn. Could have been so good, but the boxes are definitely overpowered.

what the hell? I just can't find "normal" games anymore !! everybody is doing the magical headshot trick popping from a box, reloading in a box, rolling cancel into box, omg it's hilarious :lol

I guess this is a game mechanic since it hasn't been patched in a year, crazy Kojipro!
