[PS3] Metal Gear Online v2

I hate this konami and game ID crap, why don't they just use PSN like every other online game out there?? It's so much easier and no one has to go through this registering crap. I can't even get on the site, it keeps saying it's busy. man, i hope they ditch this konami ID thing for the full release. i'll be complaining about it on their feedback site.

updating the game took me about 4 hours, i tried getting it through HTTP but got an error so i had to download using p2p, which was slow as fuck. it's a good thing they give us a 4 day head start to download and update the game before we get a chance to play it. I'm hoping the game doesn't lag, but after what I've seen from updating and trying to register it probably will.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

finally made my konami ID and game ID thanks to this little tutorial:
Guide : How To Get A Konami Id In 20 Mins - GameTrailers.com Forums

if you get page has been deleted then just restart the form and all your info should be filled in, so all you gotta do is press next as fast as you can

edit: fuck u konami and this ID shit, i thought i was done with this crap but now I can't even confirm my registration

There's nowhere I can't reach.

i was surprised that there wasn't any lag, but once in a while a red message saying connection not stable popped up, but i never got disconnected or anything. the controls are just weird, it doesn't work too well for online play and auto aim is just crap. i have a hard time playing DM with these controls, especially on the small map, i find that people just turn auto aim on and once they see you they L1 and just shoot until you die.

what's cool is when you receive a message while in a game, the codec rings and you get an mail icon at the top of the screen.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

it's funny how so few people actually check boxes. they run past me in a box and i come out and either shoot them or cqc them.

has anyone tried the scanning skill? the one where you inject a pill into the enemy after capturing them with cqc. i thought it was supposed to show the outlines of everyone else on that team, but for me it only showed the guy i just injected. and how do you choke someone after grabbing them? i tried holding R1 harder and tapping it and it doesnt seem to work

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

does anyone actually use the scanning skill? I've been trying to use it lately, I'm starting to think it's useless because of two reasons: the person i'm scanning is not linked to anyone, and, someone kills the person i just scanned. i think the SOP system needs a bit of tweaking for people to really take advantage of it

i got a question, how come in deathmatch, i can see the outline of some people even though i've never scanned or even killed that person?

I was speaking idiomatically.

team sneaking is actually pretty cool, it took me a few rounds to get it though. basically its rescue mission, so no respawning. one team has stealth camo and can only use the stun knife, mk 2 tranquilizer, and a bunch of non lethal support items aka magazine, stun grenades. the other team only has lethal items. the main objective is for the sneaking team to capture the frog or duck and the defending team to stop them, so it's like rescue mission except more interesting because of the stealth camo.

when a person on the sneaking team gets spotted, the stealth camo turns off for everyone on the team for a few seconds. the sneaking team is pretty much completely invisible except for their weapons and their shadows. it can be hard to spot them when theyre lying down and not moving.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you using wireless? It might be the bluetooth interfering with the wireless signal. This has happened to me many times with the sixaxis controller, when downloading stuff or just trying to use the internet connection it would lag like crazy and the download even stops, but once I turn off the controller or plug it in, everything goes back to normal. This doesn't happen to me all the time though, and I don't think it ever happened with my bluray remote.

has anyone seen anybody with a fox or foxhound rank? i've only got two ranks so far, bee and water bear. I'm trying to get the eagle rank but i'm gonna have to start owning everyone in every game i play.
