MGS4 online beta thread

Hey guys, MGO has been updated, no update to download just server side but YOU CAN PLAY AS SNAAAKKKEE!!!

The Metal Gear Online beta has been updated. The new map is called Midtown Maelstrom and is Mercenaries versus Snake. If there are over 12 players on the server, one of them becomes Snake's MKII and can roll around picking up dog tags. The player who is Snake is equipped with an M4 Custom, magazines, scanning stick, drumcan, cardboard box, Octo Camouflage, Solid Eye and is of coursed voiced by David Hayter. The update is not available for America.

I wonder if you can play the other game modes on it ?, just popped on it in training and it would make for some pretty fast fights with less running around in circles than Blood Bath.
 
Yes, you can play other game types on it, the hosts connection dropped before it started *sigh* but it was starting a team deathmatch on that map.
 
any news on how the actual game will be ran
will it use this daft system or will it use psn?

at the moment i cant get on due to the aol error codes so i have given up

does anyone reckon it will be sorted when there is a worldwide release?

I expect the AOL issue will be resolved as it may revolve around them blocking certain IP for the beta. As for the ID business, i dont know, personally apart from the hassle some had (i had none) it works ok. You add friends in game, send them messages etc and unlike PSN there is a more than 50 limit. The clans themselves are up to 64 i think. You also have your own home page with stats tracking, about me bit etc etc, it also shows if your friends are online and track there stats. Although i would have preferred it to be linked with PSN the whole package is very good, in fact its someway better than what we have on PSN and all your details etc are available online and you can add friends etc on the PC.

The new game mode is interesting, it plays like a team deathmatch except one person is picked out as Snake and has to kill and collect peoples dog tags to win, similarly each team can kill Snake the same number of times to win or if its drawn the team with the most remaining deathmatch tickets wins.

The guard alert noise plays when someone spots Snake :D.
 
The new map is great! It allows long range and short range fights, but splits the two into three paths on the map.

Getting chased by the MkII is pretty funny.. but seeing Snake for the first time was like :eek:

I did run into a bug at one point though:

I was holding someone, got his SOP link and then my mate shot him in the head, but I remained in this position. Couldn't move at all!
