I've just finished about an hours worth of playing it. It's pretty cool, just some issues that could be sorted out, but it's still very interesting to play. Trying to play something like Granzy Grad with only 5 or 6 people is pretty lame, I want to play in full matches!

The maps are definitely made for 16 players. 10 and less would be too empty, but I found 16 player matches easily.

Only two issues with the game, walking is slow and I wish there were health pots a la Team Fortress 2.

Can you get more than level 1 in the beta? Level 2 Fast Move might help with the slowness.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Yea, the moving speed felt rather limited and a way to find health or have it slowly regenerate would be great.

Do you know which automatic weapon is the most powerful? I always choose the P90

 You press a button on the guns or items, I think its square as youre choosing them, and it comes up with a description and letter grading for different categories.

I think everyone expected the most revolutionary multiplayer experience ever, and that it would play like an FPS.

It's a 3rd person and 1st person shooter rolled into one, you can play it as either or both. This game is revolutionary, there is no other shooter like it, it's like MGS+Gears+Counter Strike+ SoCom+Call of Duty rolled into one. Also people saying they should have kept the old controls are out of their minds, MGS series had one of the most convoluted Control systems ever. The new system is a massive improvement over the old. Suffice it to say based on what I've played so far of MGO, I would buy this game alone at full price. It's better than Warhawk and UT III combined. By the way, why are people discussing MGS story in a thread about MGO? Rocketpig you have a personal crusade against MGS' story then do it elsewhere.

You can also play in 3rd person action.  It's probably already known, but some of the other comments in this thread got me worrying that people actually think MGS4 was strictly a shooter game and not an action game.



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

Thanks. Which weapon do you use?



This will be my go to online shooter on the PS3. I'm loving it, sometimes slow, sometimes chaotic.

Now I have to figure out how to split my time between this and GTA IV... and I just got Persona 3 FES and The World Ends With You. So many games, so little time :(

While I am still extremely confused, I enjoyed the team deathmatch, though there was nobody talking, which removes the team element, but it is a fun game though it does have stupid controls
