IMHO it is not that good, maybe in short bursts but the single player (unlike other games) totally demolishes over the online. Plus releasing the expansion over the konami website instead of the PS store is not a smart move. MGO was fun at first but as you get a higher rank and play more it starts to feel bland. I do like the skills though, there is plenty to keep you busy but playing too much gets it repetitive.

Whats weird is MGO looks and plays exactly like MGS4 but I have waaay more fun playing MGS4 than MGO. I have played the story about 3 times now and not getting bored but once I get in an online game I dont feel much excitement.

And before posting any negative comments like "oh you just suck thats why" etc. remember this is an opinion thread and I justed posted mine, Whats yours?

Do you guys even touch MGO?

I haven't got a chance to try it but that is because I never played an online game before. I might give it a try but I'd like to know do you still need to do that long registration thing which a lot complained about

dont let that stop you from trying, the reason why it was slow before was casue everyone was doing it at one time. If you have fast internet you can get an ID in about 5 mins

I love it and play it all the time. It's simple and the maps are really dynamic. I also have a soft spot for third-person shooters, though. MGO should keep me warm until SoCom.

I think it can be fun and annoying at times. It's kinda fun to be play in short bursts for me. I prefer the mode sneak, and knife wars :P In Sneak mode it's pretty fun lying on the ground with 99% invisibility and good thing they don't notice if they step on you easily or else i will be a dead man o_O. The most annoying thing in the game is that your best bet to kill someone is a headshot since shooting them straight in the chest doesn't do alot of damage.

Mgo is quite annoying but it is fun at times. Its better than nothing but I have played it for 5 hrs and I dont care to return. COD4 I played for 150hrs and I am still playing now. MGO is not the best online experience.

I like it, I think it would probs be better if you played in a team you knew against another like team all communicating well, although its fun sneaking round killing people, it requires thought and planning much like counterstrike so I think its great, problem is there isn't enough maps that are large I only really like ambus alley and the middle eastern street. Hopefully they can improve it over time.

Some of the maps are definitely better than others. but that should be expected. Id pin it as a cross between COD4 and SOCOM. I think it will definitely keep the SOCOM fans out there happy until Confrontation arrives but overall its a pretty great experience.

Unfortunately, I think the whole deal with the Konami ID and not releasing things or running the game through the PSN was an abysmal idea that Konami will likely ride to the grave, which kind of sucks because it has potential to be really great.

It was ok. But needed alot of improvement. It was so laggy and pales in comparison to games like Halo or CoD4.

i dont think it should be much trouble anymore, but whenever the beta came out it was horrible

anyway i love MGO. the game itself is alot of fun imo. although having to get the konami id, not being able to use psn accounts and the expansion causing a ton of problems really piss me off.

its laggy (i dont get lag in other games)

its very unbalanced, or at-least that's what i came away with, why go for CQC or shotguns when people can get instant headshots with the m4 (which is all anybody uses). and shotguns do pathetic damage. in-fact most of the weapons system over all is unbalanced

regardless its VERY fun when working. but there are to many issues for it to shine, another one... teamates get cought in YOUR traps :|

If by lag, you mean shot delay, then it is your internet.

If you mean a drop in framerate, that's a different issue. It's just that Groznyj Grad is pretty big.

Anyways, it was quite fun at first, but then it got repetitive. Most like others said, MGO had lots of potential.

...Still, it's fun getting headshots with an SVD at newbs. :P

It still has potential but konami can only fix this throught free updates.

But as we all know mgs is all about single player it was never meant to be an online game.

i love MGO. i dont get to play it much, but i looooove it. favorite online game right now. mostly because the others got stale really quick(COD4, warhawk*kinda sucks*)
