hey console guys, is MGO as good as it looks in the trailers? or does it just boil down to a boring gunfight every time?
it literally forgot about it until today, should be coming out later this month on PC
It's literally out on PC.
And it's shit.
Metal Gear Online is a piece of trash.
It was trash back on PS3 because of Konami ID.
And it was trash on PS2 because they shut the servers down so quickly. Just...trash.
It's great
Its shit
There are barely any game modes and maps
You dont get to use all the weapons
There is limited character customization
>>323976057
PS3 MGO was amazing. I committed suicide when they shut off the servers.
I think Cloak and Dagger is fun as fuck.
But the other two modes are shit.
>>323976216
Cloak and Dagger is literally the only stealth-based mode, it's pretty sad.
>>323975893
Actually a lot better than /v/ makes it out to be. Gunplay is fun and it's actually possible to sneak around efficiently in Bounty Hunter
>>323976862
im just asking because i LITERALLY can not find real gameplay of it at all for some reason, google MGO and all i get are the faked "gameplay" videos from "official" people, and MGO videos from 2009, why the fuck
It's not very good in my opinion. There are only three game modes, and only one of them could be considered something other than a frag fest. Only a handful of maps, and most people rush, so it tends to be small and fast. People are just trying to grind as fast as possible because everything is locked behind an experience gate. And I do mean everything. It's already pretty empty on PS4 even though it's only a few months old, if that tells you anything.
All that said, give it a try since it's free. Maybe you'll like it.
>>323975893
It came out on PC yesterday and it has only three modes one of which is good.
>>323975893
>>323975893
>>323975893
its VERY good. once you get good at it the feeling you get from winning is fantastic. no matter how you play. dotn listen to shitters.
>>323977807
>people feel good when they win something that's competitive
Whoa...
>>323977448
uh, i thought it came into beta, then imminently closed down because people found out an exploit
>>323978245
It came back up last night.
>>323978289
neat
It's pretty fun, although everyone that plays is practically retarded, I'm #1 on the scoreboard on every game I'm in.
I played it for like 3 hours, it was pretty boring
>>323978573
Yeah, I stood on some stairs and went 22-1 because people just kept running up the stairs. It was pretty silly. Like goddamn niggers look around the corner first or something at least.
>>323979032
It blows my mind how many times sitting in a corner inside a box with a shotgun waiting for a guy to rush in and steal the data worked.
>>323976648
It's also the worst mode.
im done work for the week is this shit down?
>>323980095
Automatch was fucked earlier, just give custom search a go.
How the fuck do you activate stealth camo as infiltrator?
>>323975893
only good mode is cloak and dagger
>>323976147
It was good after a few patches and expansions. It was pretty trash till survival came out.
I was in the beta, i do still love MGO and the threads with /v/ before the shutdown were tons of fun.
It's ok. It's got some real questionable balancing issues which just makes the game a pure frustration to play. Why the Servals have not been nerfed yet is beyond me. There is literally no way to protect yourself from those, other than cover. If it staggers you, you're dead because the firing rate will allow for successive shots before you can even retaliate.
Also, while the gunplay is fine, the CQC stuff is handled so fucking awkwardly. There is literally no way to preemptively know if you're actually going to CQC that guy or that guy is going to CQC you. Whenever CQC is thrown to the mix, the game just feels like an awkward and frustrating clusterfuck. You'll CQC a guy, then suddenly drop dead/fultoned by the guy you CQC'd.
There really seems to be some weird lag or delay going on in the game, because you'll get killed in cover by bullets that suspiciously bend around corners, or will be killed to easily by weapons that technically should not of killed you that easily where it hit you.
There isn't much motivation for long term investment due to how barebones it is. A lack of customization and game modes. The maps are generally too large or awkwardly designed which disadvantages one team or the other, whilst some Rush modes are too much of a faced paced clusterfuck to really get a grip on what's going on. The only real well designed one in both size and balance is Amber Station.
Also, don't expect a team based game. Yeah, there are teams, but everyone does their own thing rather than work as a team. Don't expect someone to shoot down that fulton balloon.
I'll give it credit for actually making the cardboard box work in a surprisingly Metal Gear-ish way. The cardboard box is great for flanking naive players.
6/10. At least its better than GTA Online, and the community isn't dogshit awful.
>>323980562
>community isn't dogshit awful.
On console, it's just reddit representing the west and laggy ass nipponese representing the east. I'm just glad that I'll be able to play on PC with less bullshit involved.
>>323980972
You unlock the stealth camo perk at lv 4 or something.
>>323980407
You gotta select a loadout that has it and then hold 4 to select it instead of the cardboard box.
>>323981112
>I'm just glad that I'll be able to play on PC with less bullshit involved.
Have fun with all that hacking.
>>323981219
They're going to implement vac in a few months or less. Also you can set up your own private lobbies and invite people if you don't want to risk randoms using CE.
feels like tf2 all over again with the cosmetics and unlocking new weapons is just ass.
The porting job is just terrible.
Issues that have nothing to do with the game design:
-No push-to-talk, mic is always on
-No easy way to mute people
-Cannot easily access menus to leave matches
-Have to fucking go through MGSV first before you can fucking exit MGO
-Some fucking bug has made it so my waifu character's skin is always black. I don't mean black skin, I mean literally pitch black
-P2P with NO HOST MIGRATION
-The fact that the lag is unbearable, and CQC even in good conditions is terrible
Game issues:
-unbalanced as fuck
-Bounty Hunt is trash
-Comm Link is okay at best
-GRIND FOR EVERYTHING
-Shit sucks
Is anyone else getting error 10012 when trying to connect? It's driving me insane.
>>323982591
wow, i might not even waste my time trying it, that sounds fucking horrible
>>323981217
>>323982591
There are things wrong with it but you don't need to lie, there is host migration
>>323982591
>-Have to fucking go through MGSV first before you can fucking exit MGO
alt+f4
>-Bounty Hunt is trash
heck off, bounty hunt is fun, or at least it would be if 0 tickets meant no more respawns instead of "aaand now the game's over, kay"
control points IS shit though, dunno how you fuck up such a basic mode.
What's with the naming conventions, really? Instead of Heavy or Assault it's "Enforcer". Instead of TDM it's Bounty Hunter. Hey-- what's the name of the map with the big dam? Is it called "Dam"? Or "Plant"? No, it's Gray Rampart hurrr.
>>323975893
I don't the game seems okay-ish.
But I just don't see this becoming my main multiplayer shooter when I already have Splatoon and Siege.
>>323979032
>>323979843
this is how a typical match goes for me
>>323975893
the difference between this and your average online shooter is the movement, the fact that 3rd person view exists and utility stuff like the cloaking and fultoning mechanic.
it has great potential imo, the core mechanics are pretty good, the netcode is from what I can see ok for this kind of game. but it needs way more content, more game modes, more variety, more stuff to unlock etc.
>>323985275
It desperately needs new game modes. Cloak and Dagger is pretty much the only mode that puts most of the mechanics the game has to use. Every time I try to play the other modes everyone just plays it like third person CoD.
>>323985521
does it seriously not have anything like the ps3 MGщ цpyкy нщг ыeyyд yтyьн вщпeфпы,
FUCK
>>323985853
There's only three modes.
1:Bounty which is pretty much team death match
2:Cloak and Dagger which is a stealth based mode where one team sneaks in to steal intel while the other defends it.
3:Comm Control which is just your standard capture point mode.
>Want to play scout
>Every team desperately needs an infiltrator that actually fultons people
aaaaaaaaaaa
It's absolute trash, 100% pure trash.
Any of you fags talking up cloak and dagger should of been there when you could play Teamsneak in MGO2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bOgTnMffK0
So it's been a while since I played MGO2 obviously. What the hell was the difference between Team Sneak and Cloak and Dagger here?
just played it for 20 minutes
i'm not sure what I expected but its still a letdown.
the lag was awful and I ended up getting locked in place near a wall for half the match while my teammates kept kicking me for some reason.
>>323986518
Imagine anything you liked about Tsneak and throw it out the window.
Nobody knows how to fix error 10012 when trying to connect to the servers?
>>323987197
VPN
The beta is region locked
Is anyone else not even able to join a game
>have god awful internet
>end up getting host anyway
please no
there really should be a way to opt out of hosting
How the hell do you get to bring more support items
Plushy Snares can take you so far
>run around in the jungle for 20 minutes
>hear people dying all around me
>can't see enemies or any shit for that matter
>invisible man taps me on the shoulder and I backflip and crack my head against a rock
>neck snaps from G force as a balloon takes me to death's sweet, sweet embrace
I suck at this
I keep using the controller when I could use the kb&m.
Laggy assholes everywhere.
>>323988218
There's a skill specifically for carrying more support items.
It's called Tactical.
Look up charts to see what level your class of choice unlocks it at.
>>323983891
Might as well not exist. The match has to restart every time a host ditches.

WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT P2P WAS ACCEPTABLE IN A GAME RELEASED IN 2015? I AM SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW.
>>323977114
Just search "metal gear solid v multiplayer gameplay" on YouTube
>joing MGO
>13 FPS
what the fuck?
had 40~FPS when i played singleplayer
>>323988936
don't worry guys the door is okay he fixed it
>>323989325
are you playing on a laptop? mgo is a seperate .exe so you gotta enable ur gpu for it
>>323988936
the worst shit is the CQC
I get CQC'd in so many fucked up situations where it shouldn't happen because of how far away I am
>tfw camping in building after I get 8+ kills because I can't count on my team to save me if I get knocked out and fultoned
>>323989610

bravo kojimjamthanks

that's just insane

Every time I try to join it says i was disconnected from session
how do I git gud?
I love MGS and I want to finally try an MGO but I fucking suck at TPS games, and there's barely any stealth to this
>>323989765
tell me about it
Any server up?
>>323989914
good thing masterrace doesn't have to worry about PSN garbage :)
>>323988936
>having a bad day
>playing online multiplayer
I feel for your anguish but you really should know better.
>>323990241
Bad Company 2 was such a comfy game
I miss it so much ;_;
>>323989914
holy fuck
I think I'd quit if that happened to me, I just can't handle fuckups like that
Mechanically, I like this better than any of the others. Controls, engine, map design, etc. etc.
But all that fucking loading to get into the god damned server browser... no custom server descriptions... no fucking PING listings... no push to talk or custom voice settings (have to manually mute everyone if you don't want voice, have to switch your default microphone in god damned windows if you wanna stay in a skype/voice call while playing)... Nothing you expect out of a PC shooter or even a shitty p2p matchmaking game
It's like the Japs just fucking discovered online multiplayer. Again.
Love the game. Hate everything I have to go through to play it. Can't recommend unless you already own MGSV
>>323975893
Playing Infiltrator is the most fun i had in MP since playing The Last Of Us MP.
Infiltrator is like playing as a hunter of sorts, you need to be patient, look for patterns in the enemy players, like what path is the most used by the other team, then depending on your loadout, you use your tactics to even up the game.
Example, if i see that a corner is used up by a lot of players running around like idiots, high bounty and all that, i put traps there to fulton them.
If i see a lone sniper, i sneak my way into him, interrogate his ass and if i see no one near i fulton his ass.
Cloak & Dagger is a fuck ton more of fun, real stealth shit.
I actually had a pretty positive experience
Playing scout is pretty fun. It's a good feeling when you toss a tracking ball down a corridor and the entire hallway lights up with enemies
I felt like there was some cheese in regards to how many shots it takes to fucking kill a person while you drop in .562 seconds if he aims anywhere near your head. The damage gap seems a little weird
I also had an issue where I joined a match and the round started and all I could see was a black screen. no menus or anything.
I'd probably play it again. It's a nice time waster
>>323990335
I got him back after. He still killed me again though. Good thing only going for fultons is pretty safe to do.
>>323990383
Wow, tell me more.
Honestly, I just hate three things:
-no text chat
-most maps are fucking trash
-and it lacks charm of the older games, but phantom pain itself is lacking that in single player so it doesn't matter that much.
Also no stealth deathmatch is a negative.
It might be better if I played with /v/ like when MGO2 was shutting down, fucking loved that game then.
>>323989868
Are you selecting the quick join option? I have to do the server browser to connect to games
>>323990298
I played it yesterday, its still going strong on PC.
>>323990241
When I got home I was home I was either going to watch Venture Bros or play MGO.
Clearly I picked wrong.
>>323990864
fuck, i missed this game
>those somewhat secret commands you could type in to have your character say or do<CRY>
How the fuck do I run up and CQC grab people without slamming them into the ground and them getting back up? I tried holding down the mouse, still slams them, I can never grab right.
>Everyone is playing Waifu Stealth Simulator
>I'm the only one that is playing as Irish Mutton Man
This community is trash
>>323975893
>there wont be a stealth deathmatch where you only have stun weapons and cqc
Wasted opportunity tbqh fampai
>>323976147
PS3 one was fun because there were lots of codec options and there were a lot of unique and funny voices. Maps were pretty good too. I feel like the new one is missing a lot of the soul from the previous iteration.
>>323991483
>not playing as Based Alligator
>Gotta delete my Infiltrator girl because I want an Enforcer girl

>>323991276
I miss playing it with /v/ in 2012 with all the dlc.
>>323991697

You get another spot at level 5, literally in no time.

>>323991771
Aw shit, you reminded me how I was kinda mad that I paid for the DLC when it was bundled together back in 2009 or so, only for it to be free 3 years later.
Ah, but then again, that Haunted House map and playing as Raiden were pretty cool.
>>323991959
>Haunted House map
It was Hazard House.
And I still miss it.
>>323992554
Thanks. The one thing I do say that kinda ruined the game for me would've been shit like the auto counter on CQC EX and lagswitching.
Regardless, it was fun, and I'm mad as shit that MGO3 couldn't live up to what was liked about 2.
Played one game on the control points one, pretty fun. My only real issue so far is no push to talk or volume controls, like wtf.
