Is there 5 maps? I've played for a couple hours (after my PS3 decided it likes being connected to the internet after installing the latest update from a flash drive) and only played on 4 maps.

Oh and RocketPig, please, tell us how you really feel.

And yes the body damage is messed up, I emptied a clip from an AK into somebody from behind and he didn't die, lucky for me I was able to empty a second clip into him before he was able to get to many shots into me. I actually switched to an M4 because it killed people more easily in the actual game and it didn't help, so I am just using the generic rifle that costs no drebin points because of the laser sight, easier to head shot with it.

MGO is mainly a starter pack. Charging to have more characters is just the start... I'd expect they're going to want money for as many little things as possible from maps to weapons.

Let's take some things into consideration. These are units that don't feel pain. I'm assuming that sticking to the story line!

No kidding. After being a big fan of the M4 in almost every game I've ever played (including MGS4), I have found the M4 in MGO to be entirely useless. It's as if the gun is firing nerf bullets and I may as well throw the weapon at someone as fire it; I may do more damage that way.

You criticize everything...obsessively.

1.  There are aiming speed options for both 3rd person and first person, so I have no idea what you mean...in fact, they are in MGS4, too.

2.  Having played that map a lot in beta, I rarely used snipers and had success using knives even.

3.  Yes, people not talking sucks, but for now that's a lot of PS3 games and not just MGO.  I've been in a lot of games where people talk, though.

4.  CQC has a lot of depth to it and changes based on how many skill points you put into it.  I have the most fun using CQC out of everything else in the game, so I strongly disagree that it is broken.  It's the best part of MGO to me, because it's something that no other game does.

5.  You can change your skillset at any time, including before every new map in a game...

6.  Ok, not using PSN log-in is stupid.  How many times does that effect your game?  Oh yeah, the initial login...

To me, it is the best on console right now.  I'm sorry I have to specify that.  The problem with consoles is lack of mods, although I look forward to exploring the UT3 mods since I just got it for $12.  MGO is very unique, has a lot of depth and strategy, and it very well executed, imo.  I think the problem is people are jumping into it expecting CoD4.  When I first played MGO, I thought it was garbage, but it turns out I just didn't know what was going on yet.  I am not saying that will be everyone's experience, but it was mine.

It was always planned to just be a starter pack in MGS4.  Well, that's not true, because originally it was 2 seperate games and MGO was supposed to come out first.  Anyway,  there was a post on Kotaku recently that some Japanese mag or site said that the full MGO might be dated next month or so...so we'll see what happens with that.

^You have to admit that's a little more than irritating. Konami is basically expecting fans to cough up anywhere from $100-120 for a game they should have paid $60 for on launch day. Let's not pretend that Konami isn't making a mint off this anyway. At this point, they're just milking the consumer for money. No game loses money when 4 million copies sold are basically a guarantee.

It's like Bethesda adding a multiplayer to Oblivion and then trying to charge for it. Games don't work that way. Put it in the box, bitches.

Are you complaining that there wasn't enough game in Oblivion?

Warhawk is a stand-alone MP game, many games are stand-alone single player, as was every Metal Gear game until MGS3: Subsistence. If MGO is 60, then perhaps that's too much. I expect it will be $30-40. I think that's worth it.

I've already spent $120 on MGS4. I hope they are making a lot of money.

Again I shall ask, are these people supposed to be wearing body armour?

I believe they would be wearing armor, yes...
