GameTap writes: "If you were one of the few thousand people who managed to secure a code to play the beta for Metal Gear Online--via a Metal Gear Solid 4 preorder, PlayStation GAP registration, or other means--then you probably already know by now that the setup process is less than elegant, requiring you to register two different names (one for a Konami ID and one for the in-game ID) and two different passwords, one of which can only contain numbers. Then there was the whole issue of having to download the game from the PlayStation Store and then download two patches from a not-so-speedy source.
But just to be clear, this is a beta and by no means is it necessarily reflective of how the final version of Metal Gear Online will turn out (at least, we're hoping). That being said, when you do get through the setup marathon and finally get the game going, it's surprisingly quite fun; it not only gives a pretty good idea of what you can expect from the final product, but also what you can look forward to when Metal Gear Solid 4 ships in June. Let's have a look."
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...
It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

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.
Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.
Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.
The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

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.
Replies(2)What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?
The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!
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've actually have been enjoying the beta alot and have been jumping back and fourth from this and GTA4. It just seems that the more time goes by other players are starting to get better than me so I have to keep playing to work on my skills. I also feel like my speed skill is taking it's time leveling up, I've seen a couple of people run faster than me.
