It seems likely that Konami will block people with non-Japanese IP addresses from playing the Metal Gear Online beta, scheduled to start on April 17.
According to this guide, Konami has already blocked outsiders from accessing the Konami ID registration site (try it yourself), so it doesn't take a huge leap of logic to surmise that the firm will block those of you outside Japan who've already obtained IDs from actually participating.
Eight days to go until all is revealed.
Konami has shared an announcement on the official Metal Gear portal site stating that the online services for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be terminated on May 31st of 2022. This only affects the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Both MGSV itself and its multiplayer component Metal Gear Online will be shut down on that date. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will also lose its network service on the same date, but this time it also affects the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.
MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...
I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.
During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.
Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.
Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.
We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.
I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.
It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.
Metal Gear Survive will be the 1st Place prize at a Metal Gear Online 3 tournament and fans are furious.
It's a pre order code aswell
I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something
Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

I'd be seriously upset if this was true.
I pre ordered MGS4 yesterday and got a DVD which is also the beta key.
This is a promotion given by Konami themselves. why give those dics to Gamestops in the US to go with Pre orders if they're gonna block them?
it's like console owners having multiple accounts. Everyone does it but not everyone knows your not supposed to do it.
im am crossing my fingers guys, maybe they could cut some slack, after all we are their customers
I think this is a good idea and Konami has every right to do so. Like sonarus says, In JP, the beta is free, but here in the US you'd have to pre-order the game in order to get the promotional DVD with the Beta key in it. Its not fair to Konami if someone who's too cheap to drop 5 dollars on a game that they must've already had an inkling of buying can still partake in a beta for the few who actually did pay.
