1UP previews Metal Gear Online BETA

Andrew Pfister writes:

''I was there before the fighting officially started, before that damn fool Kojima launched his war. Dare I say it, his boondoggle. Feet on the ground behind enemy lines, shoulder to shoulder with grunts fresh out of training. Most of us were pretty green, but others had seen action back in Groznyj Grad. In any case, nothing could prepare anyone for what awaited us when we arrived.

It was a nightmare. The disfigured, rotting remains of websites coded back in 1998, the slow torture of feigned registration, everyone running around blindly, telling each other multiple, different call signs. Over there, unintelligible passwords. Around the corner, an incomplete access key blown to bits. David Ellis, broken and crying in the middle of the street.''

From what i know in full game you will be able to randomly control all bosses from game, which should be awesome. I think it is wise move that they are going into another direction compared to Socom and etc.

I mean to me the thing that held me back was just the controllers and seeing what does what. Not only that but all the things u wear to level up to give u an advantage with those items u equipped. I found out that running out there what we call (RUSHERS) like I usually do to get tons of kills in call of duty 4 and rainbow six vegas 2. U cannot run in the open like that on MGO, or u will get shot down very quick. Like I said before once u get down the controllers, this game is one of the funnest expiriences u will have online. All I know is the beta here in the US is over and I miss MGO like crazy. The only challenge new comers will have is the controlls. U have to get that down, if not trust me u are going to be getting owned. Once u get it down where u can switch from your gun, to a porn mag, to your stun knife and have the feel of it. U are ready to do some sneaking around and some major damage. I cant wait for this game, it is going to be so damn awesome. :)

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy1004d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head1004d ago

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.

SDuck1004d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief36241003d ago

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.

GhostofHorizon1004d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

GhostofHorizon1004d ago

Well... that's unfortunate.

Dark_Overlord1003d ago

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.

MetroidFREAK211004d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex1003d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK211003d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

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 MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1056d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1056d ago (Edited 1056d ago )

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.

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!

-Foxtrot2440d ago (Edited 2440d ago )

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

GamesMaster19822439d ago

BlaqMagiq12439d ago
