MGS4 online beta thread

I got my confirmation email last night been trying all day to get past the terms & conditions page, just keeps comming up period of inactivity, damm annoying.
 
Just to confim I'm not missing anything - when I sign in with my gameid, I get error message "unable to connect to server". Should it be connecting or is it down until the 21st?

That's perfectly normal. There are no servers active until the 21st.
 
Was going to be sneaky and not mention it, but the manual is now up and running in the game just having a read through at the mo, seems like theres some target practice and bots for training included.

Thanks for that, just had a look quick look through and its certainly interesting :) Hopefully this will be good...
 
I like the sound of the SOP system. It's kind of like COD4's UAV reward after 3 kills, which will create some tension when you aren't linked, or when the enemy is linked and knows where you are. Nowhere to hide!
 
Good news - you can use USB keyboards for ingame text chat. I plan to do just that. It also has ingame friends list (that appears to be separate from PSN, on the Konami network). All this information and much more interesting snippets is in the online manual. You can also make and host your own private matches and form clans. This is going to be a very ocuk-friendly game for sure.
 
Most interesting snippets from the online manual:

- There is a Training Mode where bots, dummy targets and dolls are used to
help players learn the basics.

- Free Battle Mode is where you can create and host public and private matches.

- Triggers for weapon/item selection, bumpers for aiming and firing.

- First Person view is available, simply by pressing triangle in aiming mode.

- The staple deathmatch (both freeforall and team) modes are in, as well as CTF and territories.

- Drebin points are used, ala Counterstrike.

- You can select 4 skills (like perks in COD4) and those skills level up with repeated use.

- Sons of the Patriot system in the beta, where you salute other teammates and can always see where they are and what their states are, even through walls, with fancy digitized effects.

- Communication: you can use ingame voice, or hook your USB keyboard up for text chat, as well as pressing SELECT button and a series of direction buttons to say pre-set commands and comments.

- You can create clans, which help to grow small communities and make joining and creating games together much easier.

- You can customize your character's appearance with a variety of uniforms, logos and facewear.
 
Is there going to be some mode where 1 person is snake and the rest have to find/kill him? after watching the trailer it seems there will be.

O and thank god it's got ingame voice!
 
Thanks KNiVES. Seems like they've covered quite a few areas :) I wonder if there will be custom music selection though.

Soulja - Yes there is a mode where one person control Snake and another controls MkII, and everyone else has to hunt them :cool:
