Metal Gear Online disscusion Basicaly post what you think would be good in MGO or just chat about it. (if this is already out there just close it) Also I'd like to know if they will be releaseing bosses and NPCs like Raiden or Laughing Octopus as playable characters like Snake and the MK II are?
News reports say that downloadable content is completely doable (in fact, I think they hinted that Raiden might be a possibility as an NPC in some form or another), and that MGO would be supported potentially up to 10 years. I've only played MGO once or twice, and I wouldn't mind playing it more but there is a severe lack of players on the servers at the moment. I personally haven't had problems, but many are lagging out of games and thus the appeal to play the game hasn't been as high as it could be. Konami I believe is aware of this and is working on fixing it--one can hope.
- I wish they'd improve the Mic system.It's Horrible.Make it so that you can understand the person clearly. - Girl Characters so that i know when i'm shooting a girl(lol!!) - Make some form of online currency instead of paying with real money. - Allow for custom Phrases
I'd agree with your first two points, but the last two seem unlikely. There isn't any online currency because the point is they *want* you to pay for their additional services. They could make some sort of credit system like $20 bucks = 10 credits, but that'd be pointless since you're using your own money to buy stuff anyway. As for the last point, custom phrases would be practically impossible since it would require a voice actor to come in and record whatever phrase you specifically wanted. Profanity aside, that's just a lot of resources wasted on a single player on the network.
At the back of the guide book it has the MGO thing it shows the shadows of some possibly playable characters in devlopment so far we know Snake and the Mk II is playable in a certain game mode but the silhouettes show Meryl, Liquid, Raiden, some other guy (John/Akiba probibly) and Mei ling? (doubtful) but it says there on there way on the bottom of the page (page 47). just thought it was interesting. EDIT: also is there any more than just two codec numbers on MGS4?
There will be other characters in the future apparently. And no there isn't, which was a shame because codec was a good fun with all the easter eggs in them (especailly in MGS3, turd tank FTW, or Big Boss's speech about the cardboard box) MGO is fun, when it's working. Currently everyone is playing this after playing CoD4, and they couldn't be more different. Everyone plays it like a run and gun and don't use stealth, they only do with Snake and even then people generally suck using him. All the lag and disconnects are annoying me and stopping me from playing it more. It has great potenial.
Yeah, I know what you mean, Darkandroid. When I play, I find it very rare to see actual teamwork when it comes to Team Deathmatch and Sneaking, etc. Which is sad, really, because it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.
It's hard to play steathily when MGO overall, marketed to be a shooter game. There are just too many more ways to play using a gun than to prone, CQC and knife people. Also the fact that online shooters cater to a crowd who prefer instant gratification rather than marveling in their progress.
Yeah every time I use CQC I end up getting killed by someone else because all I can do that the moment is slowly choke someone to death which leaves me defeneless. and since it's third person, it's hard to sneak up on someone, since an aware player can just move the camera around.
When i was on MGO, i attempted to get up on a high area and snipe with the tranq sniper, and i got gunned down the second i spawned, so i gavew up on my tranq only method, and still i got gunned down in seconds, so i gave up.
I have to ways to do it get in a sniper spot and shoot any one who comes in sight before they find me or go round the back routes or take paths hardly anyone takes shoot if there far away or CQC them if there close.
Hell, ive been gunned down before i even chose my weapons, (the stupid game spawns you before it asks for your weapons choice)
I got gunned down by my own team mate after choosing my weapons, the muppet had a grenade and lobbed it at the wall in side that box like thing where you respawn in Bloodbath killing us both. On the good side of things though, yesterday i was on it and it was a 4 v 4, the team i was on was 4 snipers and we started in the best spot for snipeing XD
