Today the servers went offline for the MGO and the community including myself are just shattered and in tears because of this. However, the main purpose of MGS4 isn't gone. The game was designed from ground up to be a single-player experience. Recieving a perfect 10 from IGN, there is no doubt that this is one of the best games to experience even today.
I Bought MGS4 because I wanted it for the story, not for the online
It was a ridiculous system of doing things when you had been used to the smooth online experiences available in lots of other games.
hey geniuses, there is a reason nobody played MGO. CAUSE ITS TERRIBLE!!!! Id play cod mw 340565 before i played another minute of metal crap online
Btw, nobody cares that you aren't looking forward to playing Metal gear Revengeance. Plenty of games that I'm not interested in, but that's not a instant marker that they are "bad" games.
....Why am I explaining this to you!?
I played Metal Gear online for the first two years after its launch but I gave up on Metal Gear Online after I bought a new PS3 and the whole Konami ID / console ID / sign in debacle was just to much of a pain even for a long time Metal Gear fan like me.
The fact is that Metal Gear Online was not meant to cater to the COD / Halo FPS crowd it was a completely different game.
