Squad leaders, you guys should just send messages telling everyone where to meet if you find a good game. Not only does everyone get that cool codec sound...

but it also prevents people from getting triple teamed :lol

Got a question about the scanner, when you inject it, does it stay in them the whole round or only till they die?

Yah cause I saw 2.40 was out so I'm going to update first. I'll put it back up once I'm done updating.

2.40 makes MGO's mail obsolete as we'll be able to message each other on the PSN from within a game instead of having to leave the game to send mail.

On that note, my PSN is striketh

Add me! I expect at least 10 invites when I come back from work (or not)

Cool, gotcha. Server is back up! And, the xmb is great but it definitely isn't as smooth as it is out of game like they claim (but hey, it's awesome that we can finally get in-game xmb now at least)

Good stuff guys, I hardly played Rescue so those maps + rescue was all new to me. Damn you guys and your Sonic the Hedgehog teamate, who was it Bruce, Brian, forget his name. That guy was a rocket.

It varies by game. SSHD = Smooth Warhawk & MGO = Stuttering Stanley

Anybody else only getting the old PS menu while in game? In the menu screens and the lobby I get the In-Game XMB. In an actual game I got the old menu ;_;

Huh. Haven't tried MGO but I get the XMB when I play singleplayer.

Humm..I don't have many PSN games. I got PAIN and velocity bowling but they aren't really enough to hold my interest. It's all about MGO right now for me..and I'm really looking forward to the new maps.

It drives me nuts when we play a game mode on something like urban assault and then the host has another game mode on the exact same map right after. I need variety!

And..so far xmb shows up everywhere for me when I hit the PS button.

Which locations from MGS4 would you guys like to see as downloadable maps in MGO? I'd kill for a Shadow Moses map and South American one.

Also, if they're gonna rip maps from MGS4, they should be free

I agree with both those. I've been dying for a map with some greenery on it. I wanna crawl through the woods and go ape shit crazy sniping where nobody can see me.

And yes, free updates..though they might charge for something else. If they ever add anything worth while to the konami store I'd have no problem buying them. All we've got right now are character slots and emote messages though..not really worth the money.

I'd like to see new costumes/skins

Those 2 (complete with the blizzard) and the South American market area with fully destructable tables and stuff.

Sorry. I hate to be the person who seems to be ruining the experience for other people

No, you're relatively easy to deal with most of the time..there's a couple guys in the gaff clan that are much more annoying to play against.

Also, the market place...meeeh. We have enough urban warfare environments..I'm not against adding it in, but at least add in the wilderness portion of south america first. The mansion area or the power station are both two great spots that could make for some fun times.

Team Sneaking sounds intriguing. JASON! YOU AND ME..WE GOT THIS!

I wanna play as Raiden not Johnny, damnit. It could still be interesting though. And yes..new maps!

About that... Do you ever use SMGs? Kinda don't get why someone would op for an SMG instead of a pistol/rifle combo.

It's a lot cheaper than I expected it to be. How much is the Codec expansion pack in Japan?

I *think* it's a setting where you can only kill with a headshot. I'll post more information when I have it.

Edit: Okay here's what's been posted on 2ch so far.

The 3 maps are Shadow Moses, Meiling's Ship and MGS1 Heliport. (OMG WUT)

Team Sneaking is the only new MODE. It has two teams, a sneaking team and a defending team. The sneaking team can use stealth camo.

The headshot kill is a mode SETTING. When it is turned on, you can only kill a player with a headshot.

I don't know how I feel about that..if that's the case anyway. I mean, it's already ridicuously easy to get headshots as it is in MGO anyway so it really wouldn't be that different from normal.

Team Sneaking sounds much more interesting. I bet that'll have a frustrating side to it too though. Just like with rescue you'll have guys that don't know what the hell they're doing and ruin the game for your team.

Watching longmeat and yungmike stand on the red team spawn today talking on mics like, "dude i'm standing on the red spot, what the hell? how do i win" was both funny and painful at the same time =\

Oh and on a side note, I joined a random game and got called a fag and this guy kept on trying to get me kicked because I whooped his ass. Horrible spelling and grammar too. It was pretty funny. He was like, "1stStrike get out of here faGg nobody wants you here" and everyone was like.."what's wrong with this guy?!"

Weirdos =\

Team Sneaking was spotlighted in the strategy guide, but the maps are news to me. Shadow Moses? FUCK. YES.

Yea, I can't wait. Unless the attacking team has some thermal goggles or something I can totally see me destroying just about everyone with the stealth camo. It's bad enough that I snipe already, but an invisible sniper will really piss some people off.

According to the guide:

Team Sneaking
The attacking team is equipped with stealth camo and must capture an objective, while the defending team protects the target.

Btw, the Stealth Camo is an item like the box or drum (like in single player). Other than the one NVG per map, I don't think the other team is gonna get anything special to combat the stealth stuff. Infact, it looks almost like Rescue; but with the invisibility factor.

I think I will be playing a lot of team sneaking matches. Huge kill count boost, confirmed :p

Indeed. I wonder if it would be akin to Snake's Sneaking Missions and actually be a negative if you go the 'kill everybody' route. Hmm...

*Takes the SVD out of strike's hand and gives him a Mosin instead.*

There. Problem Solved.:lol

Btw, Invisible or not, the GA-KO stays on top your head so I'd imagine you'd be tracked by radar.

Regarding emblem creation, can I make 32x32 jpg and save it on the PS3 HDD and select it in MGO?
You have to make it inside of MGO's emblem creator thing. Speaking of which, I STILL cannot edit Fox Unit's emblem. And I know it's definitely been a week by now :/

So, you would rather have a giant man-pile of tranq'd bodies while i run up and knife you all instead? :p

It just sounds like you have to actually reach the target not capture it and take it anywhere..it might be more akin to the sneaking missions from MGS3's online mode where snake just had to get to a certain point without dying. Though, the stealth camo had a battery that ran out fairly quickly so you had to use it sparingly.

I'm glad I decided to get back into MGO. I gave up on it a few days after MGS4 was released (The learning curve was brutal.. at least in my case). Now, I can pretty much carry my own weight.

Can't wait for the updates..

BTW, ID: MemoryCell ..I wished I had stuck with my gaf name.. but meh.

Yea, MGO is really brutal at first. You get in thinking it's going to be just like the single player and you're going to wtfpwn (I had just come from beating it on the boss extreme too) and then..BLAM you're getting owned.

Edit: I see you edited your post..but I beat you to the punch so..I've stolen your woooords.
