I seriously can't wait for the return of this epic tactical stealth multiplayer mode

Get_A_Job_Foxtrot3165d ago

The game mechanics of tpp are so vastly different from mgs 4,that I cannot see it being the same or similar enough. I'm seeing this new mgo as Phantom Pain Online (PPO) not as a direct sequel to mgo2.

Ava, I agree and I thank my lucky stars it's nothing like MGO2, I found that a chore to play and it was nothing like playing MGS. So happy to see this uses the same formula and mechanics that the actual game does.

jmc88883164d ago

MGO2 was more like CoD in terms of how fast you get killed, but it was nothing like CoD.

You would sneak around, sometimes hide in a box (because there were also dummy boxes randomly around as well, you would need to check these boxes, lest a guy would jump out and kill you as you passed), and try to kill other people.

You didn't just have to kill them right away, sometimes you could use the sleeping darts, or put down the porno mags behind you while you were manning a position. You turn around and see these guys with hearts around them bending over to look at the magazines and you'd nail them.

You got all sorts of upgrades, like quarterback arm which allowed you to throw grenades like 100 yards.

It's just different.

Plus they had this DLC you could buy where you could diarrhea fart noise on someone (like teabagging).

There were of course different modes. One mode was called team sneak, and basically one side was mostly invisible, and the goal was to put to sleep everyone on the other team.

They had quite a few different modes, and so while you did get killed sort of like CoD, it wasn't quite the same, probably a little more forgiving most of the time. Definitely alot more stealth to it, but at times in certain modes it could get more run and gun (but still with stealth elements so you had to stay nimble).

You had buildings you could climb and windows to jump through, so it was different.

There were some downsides, like constant ranks going up and down, the konami ID and player ID crap.

But I don't know what THIS version will be like though. I would love this to be an extension and upgrade of MGO2 without the flaws. If it's somewhat different, I can roll with that too.

someOnecalled3164d ago

MGO2 was the truth. jmc8888 i agree except the micro-transaction was ridiculous. MGO2 wasnt a chore it was fun goofy and enforced team work. i see some of yall didnt play it as much do to the bad online sign at the beginning but their was nothing like it. it was only comparable to a goofy socom. people talking never experienced their team being slaughtered with only two of you left take on a full team watching each others back hiding, setting up traps, hanging from ledges, sneaking together, using sleeping teammates from other teams as bait, cqc, etc..

PhucSeeker3163d ago (Edited 3163d ago )

Well, MGO has always been tied to its campaign counterpart. So in a sense, mgo3 is a direct sequel (prequel?) to mgo2. Still sad that i only got the Ps3 after mgo2's server'd gone down.

MGS4 was vastly different to MGS3, yet its online component is still called MGO2, so your theory is flawed.

This new upcoming online mode is already known and marketed as MGO3

Get_A_Job_Foxtrot3163d ago

Are you talking to me? I never said that it isn't titled as mgo3, but that I don't see it as a true sequel since the gameplay will have to be radically different PLUS it is developed by an entirely new and unexperienced Western developers. You can calm down now, fanboy.

PhoenixUp3163d ago

@ Ava

That sounds like an absurd statement. MGO2's gameplay was vastly different to MGO1's gameplay, and everyone recognizes it as a true sequel and evolution. Same principal applies to MGO3.

mgszelda13164d ago

All kinds of gestures. Such as ocelot fingers, liquid ocelot finger guns or knife licking

ShellB3164d ago

It's going to be way faster than MGO2 that's for sure.

Anyways, who spam the box in MGO2? lol brings back memories

cooldog9993163d ago

yeah man, i spammed the box so much! if only they brought it back in this one.

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

Welshy988d ago

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

Giblet_Head988d 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.

SDuck988d ago

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

MasterChief3624988d 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.

GhostofHorizon988d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord988d 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.

MetroidFREAK21988d ago

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

franwex988d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21988d 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

franwex1040d ago

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

aaronaton1040d ago (Edited 1040d 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!

-Foxtrot2424d ago (Edited 2424d 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

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
