    Anyone had the chance to play this yet.

    I have, so far I've only played for an hour, and had a chance to play Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.

    I really enjoyed it. A nice amount of customation for the character's look. Just a shame you don't get much to change facual-wise, but maybe the final version will have more.

    Some good chances for tactics, but no-one really used them and just went head first, I actually got 3 kills in a row within a few seconds which made myself feel pretty proud. XD It also gives a good insight into how MGS4 will work. It generally feels much better than past games, aiming is much easier, and the different shooting options are nice. I knocked a guy over, only for him to turn around unto his back and kill me.

    I also like how in Capture the flag, the more points you gather the more attachments you can add to your weapons.

    But one annoying thing, when I was installing v1.01 update, it took 12 hours, it's clever to have a P2P option, but the least they could of done was let their http download work, in the end I just had a very slow download for a huge file. 12 hours with an average 12kb/s. >>

    So, is this Metal gear Online for Psp or Ps3? Is for both? Oh, and since it's a beta...you think they'll fix the download problem?

    This is the PS3 version. They probably will, but it was still annoying. >>

    Is Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag the only available modes right now? Or is there more? Cause I heard about one where two teams fight against each other whilst looking for Old Snake.

    If only I had known being able to try out the beta would require preordering MGS4, haha.

    But since it's a 2 week beta, I guess I'll just let it pass and wait for launch. MGO might just be the first game I start playing regularly on PSN.

    The update only took me 3 hours, the 1.02 update took me 10 minutes.
