Metal Gear Online Discussion

Name: Rasputin
Rank: Doberman

Hey, you know if we ever want to play, we should choose a universal server to play in. More preferably a server that usually has 0-10 people in it tops.

Also online is kind of like heroine, but in a good way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

we should all meet up in the EVA server just to add each other to our buddy lists, then we could be awsome and meet up in SNAKE!

By the way, I'm a FOX now, haha!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can you make rooms, Spat?

Double Post:
If yes, make one in a 0 person server and let's be bossem buddies <3

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

::marked::

Make Brown Town first! I love that map more than I love most things. The design and flow of this map is FLAWLESS. There is NO place to hide (hrhr) on this map, completely non-broken.

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

COUNT ME IN!!!

well,when i figure out which it is my hour compares to ny...just that

Funny you mention this, as it is THE ONLY CHEAT that exists in this game.

Appearantly this is a big deal at GameFAQs, the subject, not this specific cheat. People go bananas about lag issues and think people are cheating, when this of course is just their lag problems (or someone elses).

This specific cheat, though, really can be a cheat! It is called "Lag Switching" or something like that. ONLY THE HOST can do this. It pretty much means the host is disconnecting briefly, freezing the other charactors but allowing him to move freely, thus letting him make his escape while everyone else is frozen. You can easily tell someone is doing this when the game's connection is unstable (you get a red alert on the bottom of the screen "connection unstable") and the host is jumping all over the map. THE ONLY WAY TO COUNTER THIS is to leave. Just leave, it's not even worth playing in an unstable room anyway.

Now, if a non-host does this EVERYONE lags and NOBODY can run around freely, so it is pointless.

Now, other so-called "cheats" include the dead body glitch and the shooting through walls move. Both of these are lag issues. The Dead Body Glitch is when someone is a dead body and killing you. They're body never respawns, and yet they are running around kind of like a ghost and killing you. This is by far the most obnoxious glitch in this game, mostly because it is unpredictable and the only person effected is YOU. The other guy, and most likely the other players are able to see the "ghost person." If this is happening to you, check your connection or that person's connection. In the end, it's not a bad idea to just leave the room.

Another, very common issue is Shooting Through Walls. Pretty much what this is is when you're running along and you manage to hide behind a wall as someone is shooting you, but they still kill you. Other similar events like this include Books and Claymores that people seem to walk over and are unneffected, as well as you rolling THROUGH people, rather than hitting them. This is all general LAG, and can't really be avoided. Your best bet is to find the best connected room possible and make sure you're connection is good as well.

As far as people using GameSharks or other stuff like that, it's probobly not possible yet, but you never know.

Also I Can't exactly change my name in game, just remember that I'm Rasputin :P

How ya doing, buddy?

interesting i only have a few, but they're the "secret" messages like /ch and /q

good stuff

Most amazing jew boots

You can even lie and say your connection is better, which appearantly makes the game less laggy. This is what I hear, so you may want to give that a shot if you think you want a better connection.

FELIPE NO

Hmm, it doesn't ask for a code or any kind of verification of your purchase, so it probobly does, but don't quote me on that.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm using a non-sony wireless thingamabob, and it connects just fine.

Also I may just buy a cheap headset for this occasion, just to hear you whiney 12 y/o voices, I kid of course...

I wish you could hear other's voices without the headset though, would make the game more fun, like if the top player on your team was giving directions while the rest followed (hopefully). But of course this game makes you feel like paying extra for a headset is a waste, since appearantly nobody talks anyway.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Both girls look at the books ;P

Raikov is gay.

Also, Drako, this forum doesnt exactly follow anyone's law but it's own, so don't tell anyone.



Also I second the Rumble Roses special charactors. Also, FF off for the love of pete, FF pretty much ruins Claymores.

Anyway, I think that's all for now

Most amazing jew boots

Claymores + FF = bad times

;P

Hey, guess what GameFAQs churned out: An explanation to ranks.

Someone meandered into the realm of the japanese internet and discovered this page:
http://www6.atwiki.jp/snake/pages/183.html

All in japanese, and one guy kindly enough translated it. I shall post it into this spoiler tag as to save space for everyone. Some are still iffy, of course, but this is pretty damn close to the truth.

Spoiler:

Each animal represents a certain play style. For example, chicken shows cowardice.

Foxhound and Fox ranks take 15 hours of play time, Doberman and Hound ranks take 10 hours of play time, Crocodile, Eagle, Scorpion, Jaws, Kerotan (and two others) take 5 hours of play time, all others take 3 hours of play time.

* FOXHOUND (F.H)
Req.1 (The number of total team victories - the number of sneaking mission victories) divided by (the number of total capture rounds + total rescue rounds + total team deathmatch rounds) = 0.65 or above

Req. 2 (Total kills + total faints against enemy) divided by (total deaths + total faints) = 1.5 or above

Req. 3 (Total amount of sneaking mission rounds + total amount of rescue rounds) rounds divided by the total rounds = 0.65 or above

Req. 4 You have to increase by 30 ranks between each requirement.

Req. 3 (Total amount of sneaking mission victories + total amount of rescue victories) divided by (total amount of sneaking missions + total amount of rescue victories) = 0.5 or above

Req. 4 In between any rule your rank has increased by 200. (I believe this general translation is the F.H. requirement, not what I said before.)

Req. 3 In the event of choosing between CHA and PGE, CHA comes first.

* PIGEON (PGE)

When people throw out the auto-aim argument they seem to fail to realize that you can strife and wig out during the shooting, if done correctly, you will kill them. That and if two people auto-aim it's mostly about luck, that is to say that your bullets randomly fire in their general direction, and if you're unlucky they'll live, regardless of who started firing first.

Also, people who purely run/gun really are the weaker players, it's HORRIBLY easy to out-smart and essentially beat the crud out of them, even one-on-one. Don't forget you have a sub-weapon and an item. Grenades, Claymores and esspecially BOOKS can essentially alter the game in your favor.

That and first person is under used. Master it and you master the game. Everything that occurs in this game that appears unfair or "cheap" have ways around them. There is no single solitary strategy that can't be overcome, aside from PURE GODLY SKILL which doesn't exist in too many people, thank god.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well I looked for you room on other servers, which I thought was the original deal, plus I don't know your game name..

I did, however, find Mobius on another server. Funny stuff.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

so what time again?

How ya doing, buddy?

Just watched the vid, man you got some crazy good skills there.

Also, didn't we just have a game together? I didn't even realize it was you till I left and came back. I can't even remember the details, other than my team was rockin hard.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

people can't handle true skill, it happens to me quite often.

Actually, it's funny, only when I'm being extra awsome do I get the boot, I almost never get kicked for doing something somewhat cheap.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
