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?

Welcome to bad game design and exploits.
MGO would've been in my top list of shooters if it weren't for all these things that just break the game. The only reason i keep coming back is because of the weekly gear update. I seriously doubt this was an intentional game design otherwise you would've seen it in their ads and trailers.

I bet getting rid of the 3d camera and having the main camera be over the shoulder but further back would solve part of the problem.
You never see any retarded stuff like this in games like gears of war, socom, or graw.

No other game has as much lag and bad netcode as mgo. Why do 80% of the people i hit with a grenade always teleport out of the way? Why are they always able to knife me even though i've thrown them to the ground yet I can't do that? My knife always gets bypassed by their cqc even if I use knife lvl 3.
What the hell is up with all these glitches where people become invisible or shoot behind a wall?

I've grown weary of this game.

Welcome to the club! Would you like some cookies with your tea/coffe? :lol

Spoiler

maybe I should give MGO another spin?

Don't be surprised if you feel like leaving as soon as you enter.

I wouldn't be surprised. I felt like I played the hell outta the game after getting the BB rank in SP and Foxhound in MP, but I do miss it at times. Was always waiting for a trophy patch (for single player) before I headed back in.

If only I could play that well.

Either they're trying to downplay their cheating or the game is extremely broken.

 

[Inanna]

I still think MGO is a great multiplayer game, if only Konami would get rid of a few problems. What I love about MGO is that your character can do so much, walk/run, lay down on the floor, plat dead, crawl, roll, kick and punch, crouch, and then there is CQC. Not many games do that! I love it! That's the reason why I'm not a huge fan of FPS games, your movement is so limited. You can only walk/run, jump and maybe crouch.

That is why I keep coming back despite how angry I keep getting with this game.

Same here! Forgot to mention porno mag and the box! :lol. MGO had such great potential but the lag, death delay lag, konami id thing and lag switch, expensive map packs etc has killed it. Well, at least Uncharted multiplayer looks somewhat similar to MGO.

Meh I really dont like the box anymore especially with how the "top" players are exploiting it.

So... The netcode actually DESYNCS PLAYERS? (Only to sync them up seconds later)

That's horrible.

 

[traynuvthawt]

I just popped in my mgs4 disc and figured there would be a patch for mgo, i haven't touched it since about 2 months after mgs4 releases.

i know that there has been an expansion pack or two but aside from that have there been any big changes? kinda feel like giving it another shot.

when you download the patches just make sure you use http

 

[Facism]

reckon we'll get a new MGO with the next MGS game?

I hope so.

oh wow

theres always a lot of people bitching about lagging and stuff

some of the bugs are ridiculous. when it shows them falling off a ledge when they are actually just near the edge of it...

this explains a lot :lol

reckon we'll get a new MGO with the next MGS game?

I hope so.

maybe if it wont get released for at least another year

 

[-COOLIO-]

hmmm. delicious

 

[KTallguy]

I would love to get back into this game, but all the box stuff scares the shit out of me

 

[-COOLIO-]

HOOOORAAAAHHHH

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I think I've seen you online, Coolio. I just didn't say anything because I wasn't sure if it really was you since you weren't in the gaf clan.

I wonder if we'll get the Shadow Moses map for the anniversary? It was in the SCENE trailer after all.

o man i hope so

and it was probably me, im not in the gaf clan but i just rolled with them once or twice in survival

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I guess we're getting Shadow Moses as a new map.

God, I know. CQC only matches used to be fun. Can't really exploit boxes in CQC only.

 

[NameGenerated]

Is this even worth trying again? Those videos make it seem like the game is completely broken. Did they fix that stuff?

The game is very balanced they are always tweaking skill and weapon parameters.
As for lag stick to locally hosted games.

But I mean the cardboard box shit, that broke MGS3 online, is it in this now?

Yes. Its worst than before.

Lame, gonna try it again and if I see it then I quit.

 

[Callo Merlose]

They fixed a lot of things with the 1.33 update.

http://www.konami.jp/mgo/us/hd/support/version.html

Hopefully this means we'll see less "No CQC-Ex" rooms.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Good luck playing tournaments and survival on the shadow moses map.


You can't see shit.

Narc 3 and monomania 3 will finally have a greater purpose. Tsneak is going to be hell though

 

[-COOLIO-]

narc3 i could kind of see as being practical on I.I.

mono 3 i already use 24/7

 

[Facism]

ah bollocks a free map and i can't play it because i don't have SCENE.

Live_Feed's return to MGO put off further

there's new modes you can try out though if you havnt played in a while

 

[ashism]

So I left this game a few weeks after release. The crazy lag really got to me. Has it mostly been fixed?

What is everyone's big gripe with the game nowadays?
Popping out of boxes and headshotting? Isn't that as easy as equipping a box, lining up a headshot, then popping out and shooting?

Who in gaf is still playing? I am going to try to join the clan.

 

[GeneralIroh]

I'm annoyed that they fixed all these weak bugs but they still haven't done anything about the people who teleport after being hit by a grenade. This shit pisses me off because while shooting the person on the ground they just reappear somewhere else and headshot me. That guy should've been dead!

I think that's actually lag, but yes, I too really hate that.

How are they able to line up a headshot while in a box anyway? Its not fair for those who aim like real soldiers. They really should have some kinda of penalty for people who use boxes like increased recoil.

I wish you could disable the box when creating a game.

it sucks a lot but to help figure out where they're going to be, just pretend that they ran a little bit further ahead than they did with the granade hit them. if they were standing still then they shouldnt teleport.

MGO anniversary tournament:

[Bulla564]

I'm starting to think they should restrict movement while the box is equipped, or have a 5 second period when you equip the box, that you can't get out of it.

The box is meant to be used for camouflage anyways, and these things won't take away from that.

Either that or increase the recoil of all weapons after getting out of a box so its impossible to get a bs headshot. I also fucking hate how people just spin around like ballerinas and get super accurate head shots. There really needs to be more realistic penalties when it comes to recoil and movement.
Seems like the only people that can enjoy the game are hyperactive kids with super reflexes.
Thank god theres america's army 3.

 

[PROOP]

I play on the Japanese servers and box play is kind of rare. People only use it when they are in a really bad pinch, and it's not the norm in firefights. If they just restrict the movement speed to that of your crouching speed it should balance it out a little more.


Anyone have any good way to lvl up narc?

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Create a game dedicated to leveling Narc/Mono using tranq guns and AA. Most people are pretty good about following such rules just as long as you kick rabblerousers.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Anyone have any good way to lvl up narc?

it's hell no matter what : [

narc is great for tsne though

 

[PROOP]

thx for the tip, but it's still hell. I've been lvling it for a goood while now and it's only halfway to lvl 2 .

anyone here on the japanese server?

Those skills always take a long time to level up. Good luck with that, though.
