MGS4 online beta thread

Yeah it's run and gun.... if you like to lose a lot!

I always always stick with somebody close by, most cases they will return the favor and try to cover you too. It snowballs from there on with the whole team.

Some tips:

- don't aim (L1) until you've actually seen an enemy. It's slow and restrictive to move about looking for enemies while in aiming mode.

- set it in the inventory options so that R2 switches between current and last weapon, for quick grenade/rifle switcing.

- Use SOP! Always use SOP, and pay close attention to the digital graphics effects around you. Responding to firefights quickly and carefully will win you matches.

- Run around in standing mode to begin with for the extra mobility, then if you find yourself into a firefight, go into crouch mode for some safety and extra aiming steadiness.

- The P90 seems much better than the other rifles, especially with SMG Mastery skill. Simply aiming to the general head region and clicking R1 a few times will net you a quick kill.

- CQC mastery will make close quarter skirmishes far easier. You WILL run literally face on into enemies, hit that R1 button to slam them into the ground or choke them unconscious; so you can fill their limp bodies with lead. (slicing throats appear to be out - I couldn't do it at all)

I'm beginning to get into it now, i was treading it like Gears of War when it couldn't be further from it. What knives said above pretty much sums up how to get the most out of it.

Couple of annoyances tho, firstly how on earth do you tell what ping a server has, they're all laggy as hell. Secondly, how do i search for friends to add? I can only seem to add people i'm playing with at the time.
 
I found that at actually ran a bit 'slow' most of the time on the other map (Not Blood Bath?). Made it quite hard to play because it slowed down so much in heavy gun fights.
 
This game is really good if slightly difficult. I think I will need to get a headset for voice to play it properly. Hopefully get some OCUK matches going!

Tried everything i can think off and still uanble to connect, come to the conclusion ethier that the servers are back down or there is something wrong with my connection, but since im able to connect to other games thru my ps3 i doubt its that.

This game is sweet .... and the noob who says its 'run and gun' is so far off the mark its frightening.


Excellent game and will get better once someone gets to the level where we can make a clan.

That's a problem with your username or password I think.

I double chekced the konami Id site an my details is correct, but ive also tried entering wrong usernames to see if i would get the message, wrong username/password, still getting the same message though, it seems as if it wont even connect to the login in server for some reason.
 
I didnt literally mean run and gun! :p Caught up in the excitement!

I meant that when i was going around flanking the enemy i was running and gunning, not literally going full frontal into the enemy!

That's what puts me off this atm. Not the game but how people play it. This has loads of potential to be a good squad based game but all you'll end up getting is kids running around all over the place thinking its Counter Strike :(

I really miss the late night sessions of playing Raven Shield with 8 others in a squad on my pc. People played it properly, watching each others back, covering when room clearing, and so on, none of this unstructured run around using auto aim and emptying mag after mag on full auto :mad:

Hopefully I'll be proved wrong and play with some people that actually understand how to get the most out of it and play it the way it's designed to be played!!

Good points.

What i find hard with the PS3 is that not everyone has a headset and if they do it's either not good quality or they don't speak. So the game is not used to it's full potential. And tactics are very hard to do with people without headsets.

We need to get some OcUK games going over the weekend. Maybe rp can set some servers up.

yep soulja .... ingame name is shifty100.



By the way do you use the name you choose for your character or the game id you set up with konami.


Late night games I'm up for ...... 20meg connection, no problem hosting, ( have hosted games already ...no lag )
