Usually when I login I only see 2 or 3 others on in foxunit max =\

I guess I always miss the action. Oh and my K:D ratio is pretty horrid. I'm just working on getting sniper rifles to lvl 3 atm.
Same here for the plain jane clan. I usually do a clan search for GAF and check the other clan rosters to see if there's anybody else on when I can't find anybody online from the plain jane clane.

Jason here. Had some good games with you all tonight. I was relieved to win when I got to play as Snake in the first round (it was really close), and the damn server made me Snake again in the second. :lol I kept rushing in the beginning but calmed down, hunted my fellow gaffers and secured the win. ;)

The Fox Unit vs GAF battles were awesome. And for the record
FOX
won.

This is the only skill which comes with its own ranking chart on the community support page. I wonder how intimidation and attitude affect other players. Is the skill only available to clan leaders? If it acts like a buff/debuff to all other players, then it's probably restricted in some way.

It's for "combat instructors". Haven't seen any so far in the US server, but the Japan one just got them recently.

It's viral. One guy can train up to 16 people. Then, if he allows them all to graduate, those 16 then become instructors and can train 16 more, etc etc.


Lecture
you have the attention of all your students and can demonstrate techniques for them in person.Everyone has infinite health and psyche in lecture mode.

Practice mode
Practice mode is just what it sounds like, the students try to use what you have been telling them to defeat the other team. during this mode the instructor is a invisible ghost with the ability to spectate and of the players and type/voicechat/codec all players at once.

Graduation
after a minimum of 30 minutes after your class starts people will be ably to qualify to be graduated.it takes 30 minutes from the time a player enters the room to qualify. You as the instructor have the final say on if they pass or not. during this stage the instructor will automatically address the students and they will salute. people who passed will be standing,those who didn't make the cut....

Ugh, seems like both MGO and this thread are really dropping off except for a select few. At this point would a Monday/Wednesday/Saturday set of NeoGAF Nights even help?
I miss the beta thread and being in Gaming

MGO Defense Force Assemble!!!!

We could always do what the Halo 3 players do and just post in the official thread, regardless.

Also; de-regionalising this shit would help, like, a hundred fold.

This is the official thread, we got moved =/
Unregion locking might be helpful in a normal human world, but I fear it would go really badly with Konami steering the boat. :lol

Any reason why Konami regionlocked MGO in the first place? Its not like todays internetconnections couldnt handle an oversea connection.

Well, arranging times to play together would be great but the other problem is..not all of us are on the same schedules. I'm in PST time but I work from 10 pm - 7 am every day..and sleep till about 3 in the afternoon..so it would have to be like..6 pm EST for me to make it.

Well most days that would be okay for me, probably wouldn't be great overall for a big thing though.

I'm not usually a sniper either; one of those rare cases where I was in the zone :D You, Wesker and Flo (if I recall correctly) were doing your damnedest to stop me. :lol


Nice pics btw. Maybe I should start taking some photos as well.

Anyone interested in a "Strategic Meeting"?
Strategic Meeting = We are showing off some basics, tactics and getting more familiar with maps, i.o. to have a better MGO experience at least with fellow GAF members.

Oh and I'm still waiting for my bluetooth headset. I'm never going with a shipper that uses USPS again. The delivery estimate for my headset has a range of 19 days

What the fucking crap. Seriously.

Any USB keyboard. And any USB or Bluetooth headset -should- work with the console too.

Got into the Online after finishing the game this week.

The registration is shameful. I'm sure that's been said many times but it bears repeating. I cannot believe a game with such high production values just plunks you on the internet to sign up.

At first I was a bit underwhelmed. Since your character moves slower than most on-line games there are many blind spots. Lots of games constituted nothing more than players getting shot from behind who would in turn get shot from behind only a second later.

Then however I got in with a good group, we constantly travelled in twos, threes, and fours. We took our time a lot more and made liberal use of the box. Traps were set and the enemy was successfully ambushed. That's when the strength of the game began to shine through.

The catapults are also a lot of fun! Only a Japanese game would add that kind of whimsy to a shooter title.

Hopefully this game has some legs.
 
I think it's far too early to panic, and if you really want to put the point across that activity is encouraged, start kicking inactives out of the clan. But you have to be organized, expecting people to play every day is not fair.

Besides, there's a single player game that I'm sure many have not beaten.
 
Working as a team is pivotal to the game I think. Yesterday me and Dunpeal were working together for several games and I died a lot less than when I play with other guys that just want to go at it alone.

About the keyboard I think every usb one works at least by my experience, I have tried a wireless and a wired keyboard and they both worked.

Is there a secret to knocking someone out via CQC? They always break away before I can fully drain their stamina. Is it just because of my level?

Will let you guys know how it works when it actually gets here. USPS..never again.

Sweet. i'm done with USPS too, my cellphone bill took 3 weeks to make it. Happened once before with my CC bill to. Pathetic. Our carrier just tosses shit everywhere. Tucks bills inside junk mail, etc. I'd take Newman over our group of carriers.

Yea, I come from the future. I have a message to you from the future as well.

Ok it's good to see that people have interest in it.
I'm going to call that special session MSTP(for "Monkey Steals The Peach") from now on.

I'd appreciate it if Castro, Ilparazzo both of you could assist me in that session since you're also Beta vets and we already have some sessions behind us.

I want to clarify that it'll be a hardcore lesson with no place for fooling, stay focused and digest the information. I'll only be communicating using the keyboard and I'd appreciate it if you could get yourself a keyboard in order to communicate better with all of us.

Anyway first things first we have to match our schedules before putting it into action, so what time are you going to prefer?

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I am possibly the worst person at MGO.

I dont hide much and when I do no one passes me, so I get impatient, walk around for a bit and usually get slaughtered apart from the odd time when I somehow manage to kill someone.

Anyone got any advice on which special abilities are best to equip?

Little is the new Big
Currently up'ing my sniper rifle skills and it's more fun than I thought, still a bit annoying in close combat when you have to "spray and pray" the dsr-1 is a fucking MONSTER :p

I'm on right now if anybody wants to play some, let's create a GAF room on rosemary again :)
 
MGO Clan(s):
North America
NeoGAF:Closed/full. If we lose members you'll know.
NeoGaf:FoxUnit NOW ACCEPTING
NeoGAF:FrogUnit the slightly casual/competitive one is NOW ACCEPTING


am I still about to join one of these?

Are you holding R1 firmly?

yes very firmly. I see their stamina go down but my grip goes down faster. Maybe it's because I try to lie them down and knock them out? I figure that it conceals us better then just stand up chokes.
