More beta gameplay today.
I find CQC to be very clunky, is this the general consensus or is there just a huge learning curve?
One odd thing happened today, I logged in to see what matches were available, and to my surprise I see myself listed as hosting an 8 player match while I'm browsing the server menus. I'm all "WTF?" so I message the account with the same name (never got a response or anything in my own inbox from myself) and notice a guy in the same game I know from another forum who tells me my account name was listed as the host but nowhere to be seen.
Is this some indication of a glitch (this is a beta after all) or is it possible for 2 people to have the same screen name?

I love the fact that scanning level 2 only costs 1 point to use. I'm starting to try and master the obscure ones but I'm not sure what I need to be doing on some of them cause they never seem to level even though they're highlighted for like half the match.
Also Movement 2 + Knife 2 = Awesome.

I've hardly used the FPV with the rifles, but from watching your vid I think I'll have to reconsider. Gets really annoying when you have your targeting circle straight in the chest/head of a enemy but they just won't go down.
Got to learn how to use the First Person View more so I can get a lot more accurate kills.
Guess it's my own fault, considering this is really the first real online game I play on my PS3(Or consol in general) Always been more of a mouse and keyboard kind of guy when it comes to online games.

Then make it your self!
You're always the annoying bugger who just hides behind a big steel door
It's annoying as hell since you can't just shoot you since it will have no effect, and than when your reloading you will just take out your pistol and kill me.
Guess I can try rolling over you next time, maybe that will knock you off your feet, having actually tried it yet.

what are you waiting for
I can see the basics of an amazing game here, but the game seriously needs some work. Good thing they did the beta so these issues could be addressed.
1. Lag/slowdown. I was just in the GAF room (fun matches btw), and the game was hovering at around 20-25fps the entire time for me. Also, near the end, some of the hit detection was a bit odd.
2. Unbalanced health system. You can throw 1/2 a clip into a guy's body but it only takes 1 headshot to kill. Huh? Raise the damage done with a body shot and all will be well.
3. Stealth isn't that useful. This is a Metal Gear Solid game. The fights shouldn't all devolve into random shootouts like every other shooter. This one will be the hardest to fix.
4. CQC stuff is unbalanced and a bit unwieldy. The game doesn't do a good job of explaining what all the CQC moves are. Also, grabbing in CQC is a bit hit-or-miss, especially if there is a bit of lag. One more thing: the knife is way too powerful. Damned Gaffers and their exploits!
Two 400 MB patches should fix all of that, I reckon.

Lately i've been trying to trick him, making him believe I run out of bullets and i'm about to reload the clip, but I what i'm actually doing is switching to my gun :lol

are you sure? i hear this a lot but im pretty sure people are just missing due to recoil. take the same gun and shoot at a still target in the torso with single shots. how many does it take?

Thanks alot
i was a good 30-60 minute learning curve with the controls but once you know all the different ways of playing its fun as s***
Sallokin the best way to learn to play is in third person view with your crosshair and occasionally switch to fpv when its aligned.

I wish I could. You can roll through me and I'll be knocked over, definitely annoying when used on me.
I don't know how or why but sometimes I get hurt even when I'm crouched and guarding. Haven't really mastered shield yet, but I remember saying it was useless, I definitely take that back.
Another thing I said that was useless was auto-aim. I TAKE THAT BACK!
I use Auto-Aim level 2 and Movement level 2 now. Without auto-aim, shield wouldn't be useful at all, so please Konami, don't mess with it

OMFG, I think it was you who I was tricked by earlier today. You shot me alot as I was guarding then I went in for the kill but you weren't reloading, you got your handgun out instead and down I went
That was smart

This afternoon we had our most EPIC battle with this mode.
I love the multi kill with grenades on this mode
I think the cardbox is very underused. I don't undertsand because it's very effective and you can have a lot of fun by fooling everyone.
how's the network performance of my server guys?
remember, the advantages of CQC are greatly diminished when there's more than one foe -- stick with your teamates and CQC can't be nearly as effective against you.
totally agree here. unless you hit the head, your bullets don't do enough damage.The Crimson Kid said:
this is a MGS game, but we're not playing as snake -- we are regular soldiers. stealth has it's own small place in MGO and i think it works well. the problem is that these current modes don't promote stealth all that much. there needs to be some sort of VIP mode where you escort a player to an extraction point -- it would be perfect for MGO's core gameplay.The Crimson Kid said:
i think the CQC is fine. knife is not overpowered at all -- it should DOMINATE at close ranges or there wouldn't be a point to using it.The Crimson Kid said:4.

I use it whenever I can.
Earlier today, I bought a SOP Destab and since NOBODY EVER FUCKING ESCORTS ME TO THE ENEMY BASE, I pulled a Solid Snake and hid in a box, 2 enemies ran past me and I made a run for it to the other side. It was so fucking funny!
Seriously, congratulations to Konami for pulling off stealth and action in one glorious package. This game is so beautifully done.

yeah I was just testing the editor. but I can't change it for 6 more days.Adamrogo said:
The only thing OP about the Knife, and the other stuns, is how long they knock you out for, I realise it's a team game and someone should come over and help you up. But when you can stun someone, get killed, respawn, run over to the same person and finish them off before they can get up, it's just silly.

. I always try to go Rambo on him with my knife.I played for 28 hours already.Me_Marcadet said:
I spent an hour of that 28 hours in a cardboard box.:lol
You have no idea how many people just pass me and I just pop out and blow a hole through them with my shotty. Or on blood bath at point 5, I killed one guy four times by hiding at different points in a cardboard box. He gets killed the first time, I hide somewhere else. He heads to where I hid last time, and I sneak on him with my shotty. Goes on for two more times until we win.

Yeah, and people should stop killing people that sleep or are stunned. That's just lame folks.Kyoufu said:

I have been playing for quite a bit now but I still haven't got my head around how CQC works. Can somone explain how it is done effectively and the different moves that can be done? I also don't understand how to use the knife that slashes out when I hit triangle while I have a weapon drawn. I can't seem to hurt anyone. I wish the training went more in-depth with the CQC.
Almost forgot, what is a SOP destab?
