who you using?
Any lightning and I drop my business class DSL connection. It's generally fast and stable but doesn't hold up well in bad weather.

This happens to me too. Colluding Canadian telco's for the lose

I'm also still getting PSN error 8002A548 now and then. So far tech support for my router has suggested a different ethernet cable. Hopefully 2.40 this week saves/fixes me.
 
I live in the Philippines (please don't stop playing MGO with me US GAF :D ) and I'm subscribed to the biggest internet service provider in the country. Seriously, what these guys get away with is freakin' ridiculous. I'm getting dropped out every 15 minutes and I'm downloading shit at 7, yes SEVEN kbps on my 5mbit connection.

I'm packing my shit and moving back to England in 2 months. Fuck this country and FUCK its shitty internet. Trash.

ahh, nice. i have choices of the local baby Bell or the ridiculously overpriced cable. At least work is paying for it. :D
 
im starting to think that third person firing is wayyy to accurate, after mastering hawkeye and killing my K/d ratio by only using first person for aiming the past couple days. all i could think of would be making third person way more in accurate. or make the gun closer to the fucking screen so you can actually see what your shooting at.
either way it was fun last night Noz and jason and 1st weren't selling lube and just going to town.

I use 3rd person exclusively. I find it lets me get more insanely random/awesome headshots at point blank. Thing is all guns are accurate no matter what mode you're using, so the mode that obscures the screen less (especially since I do so much up close and personal pistoling work) is best.
 
Yeah, I only use first person with that 4000DP Assault rifle, but even then, I rarely use it. 3rd person aiming is just much, much more reliable.

i play sniper 90% of the time. I gave up on that shortly though. No where to sit back and snipe and even if i got a good view, everyone was bouncing and juking around like crazy.

FWIW Konami are evil bastards with their leveling system. You could seriously see some people in MGO that will never level up! They weren't shittin when they said MGS4 was a love letter from Kojima to the hardcore.

I could totally level if I could screw around less, it's kinda painful that way. I hit level 3 on an almost daily basis :lol

i know, if i automatch i rack up the points and level. When i play against certain fellow gaffers or try something new, i feel the pain.

have to admit, i learned a ton playing last night.

No password unless I see a lot of Gaffers on. Removed Rescue missions because those seem to confuse the hell out of people. Not sure why.

rescue and base are the best missions (assuming you're playing with competent people).

Agreed, though TDM with a really low ticket count is fun too. It forces everyone on the team to be really careful. Realized this when I was playing on a random server earlier with a low ticket count of 8(5v5), and everyone was really, really careful.

Yo Kazenone, maybe you should stop downloading the naughty stuff while you're hosting a game, makes it hard to play you know, I kept getting the connection not stable message and finally decided to leave once i killed arch with a behind-the-wall headshot without even shooting, so yeah better check that out.
 
I just realized a few minutes ago that the outcry for region-free servers aren't there at all. Why aren't we demanding this feature? I'm gonna start sending Konami some emails later. :(

There's been a few pretty long threads on the MGO community boards about it. But they seem to come and go.

Gentle? If you call tranqs over the GSR gentle, then YES.

As for accuracy, It just KILLS me (literally) when I move the right way, pick the right spot and get a great drop on someone and still die. MADDENING. X-(

Okay, so I just saw a guy on the server I'm hosting hum to the music at the end of the round. Is this one of the things you can buy?

I haven't been this addicted to an online game since BF2, especially after my newfound love for for the locator grenades.

Playing bases in MM (my new favourite map for bases), I was alone getting to the base in the narrow hallway, when I threw a locator grenade and 4 joyful enemies showed up, running towards the base. Switched my SVD to 3rd person, and like cattle to the slaughter, one after the other got a HS. It reminded of the shooting the little ducks in the fair, except I didn't win a stuffed animal. I wish I knew what was going through the 4th guy's mind when he knew he was running towards his certain death.

I'm mostly Assault (pretty good sniper in MM) with Monomania and Narc maxed. Give me an MK17 and I can get by really well. Will be working on sub-machine because I love the scope for the P90.

Any room left in a US clan? This game is best when a good team gets together, and GAF would be the place for that.

I've done it with my controller. BTW, there seems to be two sets of those "< >" symbols. A friend of mine was using the wrong ones whenever he typed it. Just remember to use the ones moreso to the North =/


Btw, I tried to reply last night but I guess GAF was down and the message didn't go through. The PS3's been autobooting into MGS4 since release and I rarely visit the XMB because of it. I accepted your friend request and for the others feel free to add me: Ephemeris

Might do sneaking missions only the next time I put it up. Gave Snake 5 lives the last time. He needs all the help he can get. :p

Wasn't that you with the GSR AND the Mk 22... in the same match!?!?!
Holy shit that's awesome :lol

My problem there is I prefer the Operator to the GSR. Why have 8 bullets when you can limit yourself to 7?

Edit: I like how the server completely emptied as fast as it filled. Not a word and almost everyone was gone

Heh heh, i love photoshop.
I've been neglecting the handguns... prolly a better alternative in close than the sniper rifle I'm usually carrying.
