A new method to get into the Metal Gear Online beta without pre-ordering?

Maxconsole writes: "Maxconsole reader, Rockman_Joey, got in touch to let us know that it may be possible to get into the N. American online beat of Metal Gear Online without pre-ordering the game. Using the MGO beta leak, he found that you can register for the beta in North America at the Konami ID page. The N. American beta will begin on April 21 and will last for about 2 weeks."

I work in a mall with a gamestop in it, so on my breaks I always go to gamestop to waste some time. I go down there so much they just gave me a beta code. I had the regular edition on preorder since late last year, I guess they knew that so I am officially in.

Jinxstar5870d ago

I got a buddy who works there. Hooked me up with a few codes =P

CaliGamer5870d ago

The 21st can't get here quick enough. The haters are really going to come out then, really sad everyone wont get to play this or the final game.

This is hard as hell I'm making a japanese account and I have a headache

Kugar775870d ago

does this person realize that the code acts acts as a voucher for the beta? you input the code ON THE PS3, its not sent to you via email, i dnt think the NA beta has anything to do with the konami website

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head980d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck980d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624980d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon980d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord980d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21980d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex980d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21979d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1032d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1032d ago (Edited 1032d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2416d ago (Edited 2416d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19822416d ago

BlaqMagiq12415d ago
