What's the password for the GAF games?
My thoughts so far, with over 25 hours of play:
I really, really like it. The CQC is well done, all the great MGS4 mechanics have been translated well to online play. I do have some cons though, the mechanics lends itself more to luck rather then skill then most FPS games. Primarily the big targeting reticule, I wish it was a lot smaller.
The lag really hurts MGO. I had plenty of games where I spray an entire clip at a guys head (with 3 rifle skill) he turns around and shoots once (headshot) while I have full health and kills me, this happens a lot. Conversely not nearly as much as the former, I had games where I fire a couple of shots from across a small map such a BB and headshot people without using First person perspective. Forget about up close they don't even stand a chance. Does being the host improve on the lag? I never hosted a game too impatient to wait for people.
Sniper mechanics seem to be broken. I like to strafe around and snipe Halo style during a sniper standoff, when I have stationary snipers lined up perfectly (right between the eyes) for the headshot I shoot first (I'm a quick shot) nothing I'm like WTH, I shoot again continuing to strafe between the eyes nothing, and he/she shoots me and I die. I done this probably over a dozen times, Lag maybe?
M14EBR the automatic sniper rifle has to be removed from DP games, or at the very least change the DP from a paltry 750 to 10,000. It's the weapon of the gods, you might as well hurl thunderbolts at your opponents, it's that good. And up close it can hold it's own agains rifles, and SMGs.
I wish I could change my outfit,( I chose all black for utilitarian purpose ie. harder to see in dark areas,) I would even pay to do it. I don't want to start a new character, since I leveled up a lot of my skills.
Thats about it so far, I haven't developed my CQC yet maybe I'll do it next.
