Why does it seem like some companies try to do things to piss up off or destroy a franchise? Does anyone else get this feeling about metal gear solid online?
To perfectly honest I felt msg would make a poor online game to start with. The controls for all msg games have been great but not good at sustained combat and was made to be that way there is no way you can run and gun through a msg game and that was the selling point to start with. a shooting game that was not about the body count but using your mind to overcome challenges without resorting to shoot first think later. After playing the msg online beta it just proves I am right the controls are not tight enough for sustained combat the winner in any fight is the one who becomes aware of your opponent first or who has the right weapon equipped for the current situation. And changing to the right weapon in real time is a real drag that?s why on msg games when you open the change window the game pauses this fact alone is enough to bring down the fun in the online play. Add in the shitty auto aim and it kind of ruins the whole thing. And while I am on the topic of mgs does anyone get the feeling this latest msg is going to be more like the msg 2 than the good games in the series (msg 1 and msg 3) as I see more footage of the games story this sounds more like a major confusing clusterfuck. War incorporated? That sounds incredibly stupid as a plot choice its one of the moments where I just have to hang my head in shame that this game will be in same franchise that brought us the gems that msg 1 and 3 were.

I hate Konami so much right now that I am going to freakin flame their inbox to OBLIVION!
They don't know how long I've been waiting for this beta only for them to go and F*** it up by just letting it slide to the European store for free.

And now the people on my friends list who downloaded it from the EU Store are playing and enjoying the beta while I (who payed for the extra disc) am sitting here pissed as hell.

I just typed a whole reply to this, but my computer screwed up but here's the gist of it.

This is more of a complaint to Konami about how you could improve MGS Online. Seriously, the whole reason BETAs are released is so players who play them can report glitches, give the developer feed back, and various other reasons

And just look at this link http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/714/714044/vid_2375107.html the guy at IGN played the whole thing, he says it's great, lets move on whith our lives.

I don't want to see another "MGS will possiblely be horriblee!" or any other crap with either MGS4 or MGS:Online until AFTER the freakin' game is released! Then you can go on and complain what's wrong with it like all the SSBB players who did.

Actually, I kinda like the MGO beta. It's a fun online game. They messed up badly at first, but that extra week they took when their servers crashed really helped.
The ONLY thing they need to alter is to make headshots not insta-kill at medium-to-close range. Or at least lower body Hit Points.

actually they don't know and they don't care and gl with the spamming

the beta itself is ok but nothing great or special really

tho with the new addition of gameplay, i might try it more, kinda bored of the whole run and gun deathmatch, even the team based version

the sad part is new forms of teamplay would get pushed to the way side cause dong the same crap in dm while wearing a new clown suit is teh awesome

if they are adding more to it then great, and by that i mean different types of game play not just the standard capture the whatever, if not then the game will be a big pile of meh

no but some companies will just polish the bugs from the beta and not add more playability besides new maps or a couple different weapons or their beta is to test server and network code stability

i'd just like to see more gameplay modes, well the addition of the h&k g36 would be pretty cool too

I've watched some videos of it and some of it seems cool while other parts pissed me off.
1. Why is the Mosin Naggant shooting tranqs?
2. Controls look unwieldy and poor in close combat.
3. People take way to much damage before dying, I saw someone get lit up by a SCAR-L and the guy walked away like it was nothing.
4. The combat roll looks jerky and launches you 4 feet in another direction quickly.

@Scolar Visari
1. no clue, never used the gun, i'm a p90 man
2. actually controls are pretty simple, tho i'd like to find the jump button
3. depends on the gun and where you hit them
4. not that i've noticed, the person could have had a connection (lag) issue that got corrected as they were doing a roll

How do you get to play the MGS:O Beta? Is it invitation only, or does it come with a game? What is it?

I did watch videos and it does seem like an ok game, but they can do somethings to improve it. I don't want to go into specifics because I haven't played yet.
