i didn't see the ability to sneak up and stab people with the knife, kinda like COD4.. you think that will be in the game?
i'm guessing you will be able to do all of Snake's moves, such as grabbing someone from behind, choking them to death etc..

What I don't know how to do is to slit throats if you can even do that :S

God the stun knife is so overpowered, spent a game running from people with it, you cant shoot em cause as soon as you stand still they got you. Once you're stunned you fall to the ground for a good 20 - 30 sec, thats if they dont kinfe you in 2 hits though which is really frustrating.
The auto aim thing is really annoying sometimes, it'll lock onto someone nowhere near your cursor or else it wont lock on at all even if the guy is only a couple of ft away.
Also, yes it is fps slowdown not lag, you can visibly see the fps dip then go back to normal had it happen quite often in the last couple of games.

been playing for about half hour. and its great. its very japanese if that makes sense. and the death screams and damage noises are hilarious. i was laughing all the way through, but not in a bad way. in a good way. i actually like it, which is surprising since i didnt think i would. controls take some getting used to tho.

The game is japanese on top notch, its not for everyone and western gamers will have some difficault time to adjust but this is what Japs like in terms of shooting...I guess.
But I have been playing it for nearly 4 hours now and its a blast!
I was going for a man canon once and some jerk killed me in the air while I had almost no health left, but i was so awesome to see it.
What I want to know is, they said we can customize our weapons, and in training you get to add grips, scopes...etc. do we have to level up so they can be added?
Ps. This game is tons of fun and I could see myself playing it with more weapons, more gear and more add-on.
What is gonna be a problem is, how much is Konami gonna shell out on the servers to keep them up and running when the game is out.

so from what i can tell, customisations and weapons in general are game based. unlike cod4 where it goes from one game to another. in this you have to earn points, which earns weapons, which earns customisations. i like it personally, feels kinda like counterstrike.

Judging from the comments I doubt anyone here has played the original MGO for ps2, especially since most are calling the essential game mechanics(which are also present in this one) rip offs of games that came out years after it. Like I said before in a previous MGO update, this is a Japanese developed game which involves as much mgs-like stealth tactics as there is action. Also, as I've said before, if you didn't understand the game before, you probably won't now.
I've heard from a few beta friends that many people are trying to play it like Call of Duty 4. If you start playing it like that, you're already playing it the wrong way, and you're going to start losing matches once more of the original and dedicated MGO players start playing this game when it's released.
By the way Sath, MGO servers were kept up since MGS 3, they just moved to the psp game portable ops and now they're moving it back to a console. I think they'll last a very long time.

I like it a lot, something to sink time into once MGS4 is finished. :D

Bleh, not too impressed by the game.
The controls are more complex than they need to be, but there isn't any additional depth in this game over many other online FPS... Seems like server side hit detection without client prediction, I haven't played a game that the lag could kill this badly since before QuakeWorld.
The graphics really do get choppy on some levels, and the graphics themselves aren't too impressive.
If this was a free MP side of MGS4 I wouldn't mind but I won't be paying for this...

If you can't see the depth in this you haven't played enough.

No. There's so much variety to the gameplay that it reeks of depth.

Yeah I played a few matches with Drebin points were each kill earns you "money" and then you keep adding customization to your weapon of choice, but other than that you can't customize it...I guess its a good thing, makes the game balanced between lvl low and lvl high players.
But I have been having a blast playing it, I will probably get the full on game when it arrives, just tons of fun.
One thing I don't like about the game is its region locked, so you can play it across different regions.
I wanted to play with Phaethon but he is in US and I am in EU so it wasent possible.
Maybe its a beta thing or something.
Another thing is that they should make the crosshair a bit smaller and more precise so you know where on the body you are gonna hit, like headshots.
It's too big and you have to find middle of that huge circle do gain perfect shots on each bullets, but once you get, sweet!

Just finished playing a couple hours and I gotta say the game sucks balls. It's like I'm playing a mediocre PS2 shooter. Makes me a little worried about MGS4, but at least that will have an interesting storyline. Also, MGO would be better suited for Xbox 360. Hardly anyone has headsets on PSN.

I guess this is not what MGS-fans were waiting/hoping for... it just looks dull and plays too slow. Also: camera issues... line of sight etc.

MGO isn't for everyone, like GRAW.
And yes there are people using headsets, there are even rooms for that.

Well this doesnt look very fun. Movement seems to slow. The graphics are dll and boring. There should be some hand to hand combat, like melee...

Japanese kind of multiplayer, just like Lost Planet...which isn't really my cup of tea.
