Everyone send applications into NeoGAF:FoxUnit. There's also a locked game going on over in Rosemary, called JbrShootsHeroin

I like our current Darwinistic approach, only those who truly can make Fox Unit.

I just applied for Fox Unit. Going to pick up a headset tomorrow to start playing and seriously get into it. I am Bloodwall btw (just like my XBL gamertag).
 
Are there any gaf games going on right now besides the locked one? If someone can give me the pass or point me to another one that would be great.

that's what I was thinking too. Last time, we had a shit load of people who only played for 30 minutes to 2 hours for the entire duration of the beta. We need a main clan that has people who are going to be playing regularly, and a casual clan with people who just want to be in one.

It should be called NeoGAF: Slowpoke Unit or something :lol

:D

That was fun. I still cant believe i went on a 5 person killing spree with a pistol. My headset however did not work. It kept saying voice chat was on but i didnt hear anybody and they didnt hear me i think.

I'm confused on how leveling up skills work.

Do you just have to have the skill equipped in one of the slots?

Do you just have to, for example, shoot your assault rifle alot to level it up even without said skill being in your skill slot?

Or is it that you have to both have the skill equipped in one of the slots and perform the action while playing?

Hi guys.

I've been out of gaming gaf for the last few days as I vowed that I won't visit anything gaming before I finish it. SP MGS4 that is.


Today I'll be wraping up and jumping into MGO. Shit, I loved the Beta and can't wait to see what was changed from that time. :D

One question.

Do old Beta ID's work/are valid or do I have to register again?

Pretty sure they aren't valid but I thought I ask just in case.

Nice my new headset works great.

Plantronics Explorer 222 ftw.
You said you had the MGS4 one?

Was it bad?

I can't hear crap from voices with my speakers. I guess people have to use the headset to hear them.

The MGS4 one I had was defective or something. Static popping and static when voices would come through. This one works great though. 39.99 from Circuit City. Anyway I recommened anyone with or without a headset, to turn all voice communications (both automatic messages and voice chat) to max volume. Same for your XMB accessory volume.

Sometimes people come through clearly yet their voice is too quiet on the recieving end. That may cause you not to be able to hear people through your speakers too.

Yeah I could barely hear anyone. And I didn't know you had to hold select to talk. Lol. Watch we all turn them up, then they patch the voice chat and we blow eachothers eardrums out. :lol

And the friends list in-game is totally different from the PSN friends, right? And there's no way to add anyone through MGO to the PSN friends list? They don't even show up on the xmb "players met" list. Blows.

Good times today guys. Think I'll make this a regular thing.

So is the Euro Clan up yet?
Nope, not yet.

Did anyone buy the "MGO Extra Character Slot" or "MGO Codec Pack"? I'm curious about the prices and what the codec pack is, but unfortunately I can't login on the online store.

Little is the new Big
same here, send a PM when the clan is created (i'm only on 12hours atm so can't create one ;()

So I just tried this today. It's pretty awesome. CQC seems to be well-implemented and is actually a pretty useful attacking option.

One question though. There's an option to select Auto-Aim lockon in the options menu. Mine's off but what if I turn it on? Does that mean I get auto-aim? Wouldn't players with auto-aim on have a huge advantage over those who don't? That can't be the case, can it?
 
I have a question about skills...
Lets say I have Assault Rifles 1. Do I have to do something special to get it to level up or just use Ass. Rifles? What about Hawkeye and such? How do I level up them?

Auto-aim locks onto the torso. If you want to be successful you need to learn to aim for the head. I know some GAFers like using the auto-aim when they're using the shotgun, so it might be useful under certain conditions.

All you got to do is use the skills. If the skill name is highlighted in the bottom left corner, then you are using it and should be able to level it up.

WTF? You're not kidding? There really is auto-aim in this game? How does that work? Can you still use manual aim if you turn on auto-aim?

In the beta you could switch between them with the square button, but I haven't tried it yet in this build. Be aware though, AA is almost always a bad idea. Aim for the head instead with the manual aim.

Just keep using it, same with hawkeye, keep using it over and over then get pissed with Assult Rifle LV2 just as I did. Turned CQC now. I wonder what do I have to do to unlock new skills, the online manual said I can.

Please excuse me for my ignorance, but do I have to press some button or something to use a skill or is it automatic?

My skills are "bright" or "gray". Gray if I choose another weapon and not Assault Rifle. How about running skill? You just run?

Also can I check how far am I in skill lvlup?

Once again please excuse me for my ignorance.

All skills are used automatically. Some are passive like monomania, other skills require that you have the proper weapon equipped. You can monitor your progress under personal data / skills or in between maps. I just reached lvl 2 running and all I did was having the skill equipped for like 6 hours.
