Konami invites all PLAYSTATION®3 users to take part in the official Beta Phase of Metal Gear Online!

Metal Gear Online Premiere Beta will be available as a free download on the PLAYSTATION® Store from April 17th (12:00 CEST) until May 6th (10:00 CEST).

The beta phase features two maps, four gameplay modes, the SOP System that encourages up to 16 players to team up and share information, and deep skill-customization. Also equipped with auto-matching and training modes, the game offers players a sneak peak of this totally new approach to console-based competitive gaming.

The Premiere Beta of Metal Gear Online starts on April 21st (00:00 CEST) and ends on May 6th (24:00 CEST).

So, the title screen for the beta sort of inspired me to do this, and I was looking to make this for something I'm working on, but then decided to turn it into a wallpaper

So if anyone's interested, here's a little wallpaper I made:

720p

720p w/ fake scanlines (less blinding, and sticks with the scanlines visual theme the menu in MGO has D:... sort of)

Please feel free to use them :O (and if you guys really like them, append these links to the OP perhaps, as well as the official matchup thread :O)

It's going to be a clusterfuck to reorganize the other thread with the shitty news arriving that MGO won't be using PSN, so just post your Game IDs in here. Make an account here.

*Sigh* I feel your pain Costanza. God bless Konami and their clusterfucky way of doing this. Anyway:


Game ID - GAF Name:
devilchicken - devilchicken

Why are people posting their GAF IDs?

Who knows, maybe because it makes for an even greater mindfuck trying to keep track of everything and we all secretely hate Costanza, hence we like to make his life miserable with the ID-athon.

Spoiler

Of course, i kid

On a more serious note, do we know if the game has clan support of any sort? Something like Resistance would be nice.
