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

Dammit! Apparently I didn't play far enough past the Octopus boss battle and my game didn't save. I had gotten up to the cutscene where Jack shows up and starts slicing up those lizard things but I had to leave the house. When I started my game up this morning I was back at the Octopus battle.
 
[quote name='cdietschrun']I am thoroughly surprised there was no boss mode, no theater mode, no way to check on your emblems without loading a save file..none of that. There has to be some of that coming sometime.[/QUOTE]
You are surpised? MGS1, no theater mode until twin snakes, MGS2, no theater mode till Subsistence, MGS3, no theater mode til substance, MGS4, no theater mode til 2009 when a re-dip directors cut comes out. Konami ain't idiots. they know the diehards will pay twice for the same thing re-issued. Hell, MGS3 Snake eater was released 4 times! Regular edition, Substance, Substance LE and then with the Essential Collection. Guess what? people bought them.
 
[quote name='V4oLDbOY']on, non-drebin pts games, is the autosnipe a gun you can pick? And is there anyway to prevent people from using that thing if you host? I is just pissing me off so much, I try to use an m4 with the scope attached just so I can get those people that use the autosnipe, but it just doesn't work as good.[/quote]

I don't believe the M14 is available on non-DB games, and you can block any weapon as a host.

around 85-90% is near invisible? Is 60-70% like half invis, half clearly visible?
Click to expand...

Pretty much, although half visible is still very visible. Sometimes from a distance I think re-swawned players are Snake since you know someone is there but you can't quite tell who it is. Even with a 99% rating you can still be spotted from gun barrel smoke, hot breath and sometimes your shadow. Weapons fire, OctoCamo and SnakeEye also make noise you can hear.

Hooray!!!
 
Not for nothing, but if the M14 annoys anyone that much, just avoid DP games. Or, if you are in a DP game, just use the M14. I agree that it's nonsense that it actually costs less than the AK, but what can you do? Hopefully, this will be addressed in a patch.

Its not just that it costs less, its that its unbalanced. Even if it were more expensive, if you could manage to kill a person, autosnipe time next respawn. Its especially unfair on that rooftop one, M.M. I think, spawn camp with m14.... I'm going to try and M4 people with a scope, but that costs muy DP.

I don't see the problem with spawn camping since you're invulnerable long enough to avoid being sniped.

If it were really expensive, it would take more than one kill to get it on respawn. Like maybe 6-7k. I think the DSR is like 4k already.

Or just snipe them with the tranq rifle, they get knocked out and stay out of commission longer than if you had killed them.

It's suppose to be unbalanced. That's why it should cost more. It should be a reward for playing well. The XM8 is a lot better than the standard assault rifles and for good reason: it's a reward for playing well.

Indeed. I love, love, love when people spawn camp. Easy kills.
 
The spawn camping seems to be a problem only on that map where you respawn on that roof. But if your quick enough you can avoid it. But I've been m14'ed a few times when I respawned there, and I keep choosing to respawn on that roof so i can kill that guy that spawn camped me and keep getting m14'ed. Oh well... I dont think the m14 should be 6-7k, since for like 3k you can have an m4 with a scope. But at least 3k.
 
As soon as you start shooting, you lose your spawn invulnerability. And it doesn't last long enough for you to just run away. :/

I've never had a problem avoiding being spawn killed on any map so I'm not sure what you mean. OldBoy agreed that if you're quick enough you can avoid it. If you fight back you have to be sure you can take out whoever it is with your first shot.

Me neither. You have plenty of time to get away. I've easily gotten kills because of it, as well. You're invincible, they shoot, and the shot goes through you. So, one well placed shot, and their dead, without you taking any damage.

[quote name='Kanik']Played a match with you last night. Thank you for being the only person on the team playing the game like a capture game and not team death match.

Sadly I'm still adjusting to the fact that there's an automatic sniper gun. So I wasn't much help. :cry:[/quote]

Yeah dude, I was sort of getting mad because I would run to the goal with the target, and no one was there to back me up (except you, most of the time)! Everyone else just ran to the other team's goal and swarmed them. I ended up getting gangbanged by three of them when they ran to stop me. :whistle2:#

Flip my scenario and you get another problem; I ran to their goal and I was the only one there to stop them! The rest of our team was around our goal, protecting our target carrier or trying to get the other target back, I suppose. I tried to shoot the enemy in the head before time ran out, but I missed him and his teammates popped me with five seconds left to win.

Still, it was a fun time. I'll probably start using preset messages a lot more, since I've noticed that some teammates actually listen and follow orders when you use them.

As for the M14, if I ever host a DP-enabled game, I'm probably going to block it from use, unless there's a majority vote to keep it in.

Anyway, let's get some more games going tonight. I need smart teammates :cry:!

In the games we played a few nights ago, I often ended up being the only person at our goal with the kerotan while everyone else swarmed the enemy's. I think it's unavoidable sometimes even in groups of people you know.

I figured you're were good enough to handle it yourself.;) Actually usually depends on how I feel at the time what I'll do. If I'll try to capture, be somewhere midway to slow their process or camp their base so they can't get the counter down. Well I'll probably host a game later tonight if anybody wants to join. Mostly be Capture, Sneaking, and TDM, maybe some Rescue but since people are always impatient they leave during that.

Spawn camping becomes a real pain if it happens over and over. I mean if one person on the other team is doing it, they can usually be easily taken out, but when three or four members of the other team is, it's just becomes unbearable. Also I'll probably take out the M14, it's unbalanced for the price, should cost around 4-5k. The DSR cost 7k. A M4 with scope 2.5k. They need to make some adjustments on that.

Serious?! I thought someone was with you when I wasn't around. I guess I'll just back up the target carrier from now on.

Yeah right, me, a knife and 3 grenades versus three guys with guns, ha. I know what you mean though, sometimes when one of my teammates gets the idol, I head for the enemy's encampment.

Yup, and it's fine with me because they're active in disabling the enemy's countdown. When they just start turning into TDM then it becomes annoying.
 
Someone make a room. I'm bored as hell.

Put it in one of the unused servers with a password of, "cheapy" or something.

EDIT: Everyone join Thongsy's room! Room name = GRU will win, Server = Rosemary
 
Just played a bit in Thongsy's room and it was fun even though I felt like a walking target. Thanks for letting me follow you guys around. Also, easy headshots! :D
 
So Act 3 tips wanted:

I want to know some tips on Act 3's follow the guy part. Where can I find some? I am on Normal and am planning to get the Big Boss emblem.
 
Before I forget again, here's the clan emblem I made:

For your consideration. Only eight colors so it should be fairly easy to recreate in the editor.
 
I'm going to review Star Wars EP. 4-6.

I never seen Star War, except for this one time at my Grandma's house it was on (Episode 4) and I watched a little bit of it like 5-10 minutes and I thought it was really stupid. But I heard that Episode 6 was getting great reviews so I decided to pick it up. I was so confused and bored... the movie made no sense and it was to damn long... I kept falling asleep during every talking part... and just fast forwarded to the action parts. How has this movie won awards?

Also I want to review LOST.

Well, I've always heard about this show, but I never wanted to watch it because it seemed to boring. I watched like an episode during season 2 and thought the acting was terrible, but it was ok. I heard Season 4 was good, so I rented it and I was so confused! What a piece of crap, whoever wrote the story has no idea what they are doing, it makes no sense and it's all so unbelievable! The characters are dumb and don't have any back story or anything... worst thing ever.

I can do it, but to be entirely honest, it's going to look shitty not because I can't do it, but because the icon comes out half the size and when you have gaps between spots that small it will come out to look like a green blob.

I would have done the current clan logo like that, but it was hard as is to prevent it from "blobbing"
 
It was fun playing with you guys. Unfortunately, I think I got disconnected during the Capture game on Ambush Alley. I was LiquidCake.

Hmm, I should have taken that into consideration. I didn't realize it was that much of a concern though because I can still make out a lot of detail on the emblems I've seen. Or maybe I'm just sitting too close to the TV.
 
Hey I took some pictures in act 4 and it added an option to "exorcise" some of my photos. I did it but nothing happened that I could see. It played some strange music.

Nah, the one before that, where it was like 7 vs 7. Time ran out and we just kept bombarding each other with grenades until we finally won. That was one crazy ass match! It took like 20 mins!
 
Those were some fun games. Finally got to see espy's infamous knife in action. It was pretty funny to see him zoom around a corner in his ninja suit and then watch the stuns pop up in the corner. I'm sort of inspired to add knives to my skills. Right now I've got assault rifles, CQC, runner, and monomania. (Not sure how much help that last one is.)

I have to say I liked the smaller games with 3v3 or 4v4 better than however many we ended up with, but oh well.

I like monomania. It takes a really long time to level, but you only need lvl 1 anyway.
 
[quote name='primetime']I like monomania. It takes a really long time to level, but you only need lvl 1 anyway.[/quote]

I'm reading up a bit on the abilities. Does monomania only apply if you're using auto aim? Also, anyone know if you have to actually hit enemies for them to show up, or will just aiming/shooting at them set it off? It would be sort of cool to have someone with monomania hide out in a tower as a designated spotter.

I have been using this for a while, it works when you hit them, they will light up for a while and you can see them behind stuff. But it works without autoaim also, I never use autoaim. I got lvl2 but I just use 1.

Nothing special about it, really. But as you can see, I don't always lie in wait to get people. I kept getting shot in the head tonight before I got to do anything, though. When you say stuns pop up in the corner, do you mean that weird posture people make when you stun them when they're standing? Like that convulsion?

I'm just talking about the kill/stun messages in the upper left. I remember one instance where you disappeared behind a wall, then I heard some zapping and it said you stunned two guys. Then you just popped out on the other side of the wall. It was funny to watch.
