Metal Gear Solid 4 & Metal Gear Online - 8/6: Rumored Trophy Update Out Now? Rumor!

:cry:[quote name='russellgreco']I have to say I have been underwhelmed in general by the game so far. I really enjoyed the original and the gamecube remake. Not so much MGS2, but MGS3 a lot.

I am not sure what I am missing or if maybe something has changed since playing MGS3? Seems like I am in the minority, perhaps.[/QUOTE]

I have to agree about the underwhelmed part, im trying soo hard to love this game.:cry::cry:
 
Well, I beat MGS4. Again. No alerts, no kills. I couldn't get Altair's costume. The qualifications don't meet my style of play. I got something to shoot for on a 3rd play through.

I unlocked bandanna, stealth, and the
Boktai
gun.

8 hours, 23 minutes.
 
That's it... I just got the gane and finished Act One.

This game is fucking amazing...this just blows Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, and every damn Splinter Cell game out of the water. I've never had as much fun in a shooter in my life before (NO, I didn't play it like a run-n-gun, I'm just calling it a shooter).

My friends all came over, and right after one went to Target and bought a PS3. No lie.
 
[quote name='TheRock88']If you want, I'll make it. I dont want to be the leader though, so if we can transfer the leadership to frisky or whoever that'll be fine with me.[/quote]

Try making it and transferring it. If it doesn't work, then just disband it.

You notice any changes? I can't believe you logged in 20 hours already, did you skip the single player game?
 
I played a lot of MGO last night -- I think its WAY more fun than the actual game.

My Guy's user name is Battlechicken, (I'm pretty sure) if someone wants to look me up.
 
[quote name='thelonepig']Nuts, I didn't get that conversation (or entirely forgot it). I even called Otacon multiple times randomly throughout each area.

It was asked before, but has anyone found any "hidden" codec frequencies?[/quote]

I was thinking of going through every codec frequency possible. But I don't know which act to try it in.

Act 4?

Because I only had 2 codecs at the end of the game... and there are SOO many numbers so I couldn't imagine their only being a couple.

My bro's was playing the multiplayer part of the game while I focused on the single player. I beat it the other day so now we switched.

Not a lot of changes from what I've noticed, still a fun game.

I'll try the clan thing next time I play.
 
Me and a bunch of people from the OTT will be playin'.
If you guys want in, let me know. It'll be more fun than playin' with random assholes. :D
 
Still only about halfway to the time requirement, Rolento. I remember there being an option to designate a co-leader in the beta, though I'm not sure there's any way to transfer leadership. We could certainly do a temp CAG clan if TheRock doesn't want to be the leader.
 
I wanna play but if you're doing that XBL room thingy I'm outta luck.

Frisky, does it not count you just playing the tutorial mode, or just being logged in?

In which case, you could just leave it on.
 
Well, you could play, you just wouldn't hear any of us.

Well. we all have BT headsets I guess we could do that if it works how budge says it does.

The XBL thing is good too because sometimes we end up on the opposite team and allows us to continue shootin' the shit.

No, just actual games. Training time is counted separately.
 
Yeah, I need to hear the insults you guys are going to say about me. :)

If you guys get the hang of Budge's method though, I'm in one of these nights if not tonight.
 
What's his method? I'm too lazy to look for his post :p

And I'm in whenever you guys decide to play, but like Dallow I won't be able to do the Live thing.
 
It just involves all of the people I'm playing with gettin' on an XBLA game (Undertow, (was) free, and has 16 player lobbies.) We do this so it's easier to communicate about the room/server/what we want to play and during the game we can play without pushing a button to talk and if someone ends up on the other team, we can still talk (shit) to them.
 
Has anybody figured out what the third game type option is? It's not the mode, but normal, drebin points, and there's a ?????? option that I'm guessing you have to unlock yourself, I'm guessing. I'm hoping it's a classic MGO mode where you can collect an arsenal of weapons isntead of being stuck with only one.

From the guide, I think it's
headshot only mode,
I could be wrong though, but that's it is listed in there as.
 
[quote name='bigdaddybruce44']Snake has always known CQC. He's a special forces operative. Besides, in the beginning of MGS, Master Miller (Liquid) mentions something about Snake and Close Quarters Battle, which is the same thing as CQC.

I missed the codec, so I don't know what was said, though.[/quote]


Does it drive anyone else nuts that people in MGS talk about the "invention" of "CQC," which is basically just standard martial arts techniques? Stuff like this has been going on in various parts of the world for centuries, yet it is attributed to Big Boss. There is nothing different in CQC, as far as I can see. As a martial artist, I am somewhat offended by this silliness! :)

You really need to get another Xbox.

And whenever y'all are ready to play just hit me up on AIM. I am watching some movies.
 
So, I played all the metal gears this past month - having never played any before. I liked them (with the exception of Portable Ops). MGS4 though - completely blew me away. I absolutely love it. Only game in a long time where I want to replay the campaign. Coupled with one of the most unique online experiences I've ever played - it's become my favorite game of all time, tied with Tetris.

Not since Sonic the Hedgehog 3 have I played a single game a whole weekend straight. Freaking amazing.
 
Crying Wolf is ANNOYING AS fuck. It doesn't help that my gun is shaking all over the fuckin place and I can't hit her. I have one bar on her left (going for stamina kill). How the hell do you get the gun to stop shaking?

Diazpem (or however you spell it, it's been around since MGS1). I believe the syringe works too.

I'm an idiot. I forgot to swap that shit into my main items. I'm used to everything being there. :D All this time I didn't think I had any.
 
[quote name='BattleChicken']I wonder if my USB headset will get picked up as a usable device for the PS3?

I'll have to try it tonight.[/QUOTE]USB headsets work on PS3 without a problem.
 
What I said in the OTT is that for those who don't know, you don't have to press select to talk.

Hold select for a few seconds and then free-talk his enabled.
 
So there is voice chat in mgo, right? I had my blutooth headset on and there was a little mic on the right of my name, but I was the only one who has one, so I just turned it off. So far I haven't been in a game where someone else has a headset.

Also, I do a lot worse when i am snake, I dont get how it works still. One person is snake and hes a third team by himself? I always end up getting gangbanged, by multiple people, usually from both teams at once. People just seem to want to kill snake.

That's the point of the mode....

Which ever team kills Snake 3 times, wins.

Snake has to steal 3 dog tags from enemies IN A ROW (without dying).

You do this by knocking someone out and searching their body or holding them up.

It's not easy to win as Snake.

That's not to say how satisfying it is to sneak up on someone, grab them by the neck, knock them out, and then take their dog tag.

The "CQC" they talk about is a fairly modern invention in that it incorporates small firearms (i.e. a handgun) with a combat knife, and to a lesser extent, fighting with a two-handed rifle in close quarters. While it borrows from a lot of existing martial arts techniques, last I checked no martial art uses firearms as an integral part of its discipline.

It's sure easy to kill him though.

To get the Assassin Emblem you have to
kill/stun over 50 enemies, CQC hold over 50 enemies, and not be discovered over 25 times
 
I like how they announce maintenance with the call - thought for a second I was playing the campaign.

Poo on maintenance. :whistle2:(
 
If anyone is going to play tonight, add my psn. I'd like to try out my blutooth headset, but I haven't been in a game with another headset yet. I think I have it set up right...

I haven't been around all that much till recently, good to see you TMK.

I was on my computer, and I had left the game running at the menu. I heard the codec beep and thought I was losing my mind from playing the game too much.

So, what is the technique when playing as snake? I try to sneak up on people, but usually someone just shoots me from behind or the side and thats when I get gangbanged. Or the guy moves away.

I like to lay porno down as a trap so they can't move when they get caught in it.

Once I see I have someone stuck with porno, I shoot them with my Mosin-Nagant, two shots puts them down, one if it's a headshot.

The octocam makes you invisible if you're not moving.

I had success a few ties laying on my stomach and hitting someone with the tranquilizer. But its hard if they aren't still. I'll try more traps next time.

How do people get trapped? Does their character just get stuck if they pass it, or what?

also has anyone been the MK II yet, I haven't?

[quote name='zewone']If they get within a certain range, they have to start lookin' at the magazine and they can't move.[/QUOTE]

I see, so with the octocamo thing, are you invisible only when your laying down or what? Can you stand by a wall?
