Metal Gear Online has in two occasions, been shut down and then revived back in the forms of private server. Third times a charm, right?

God I hope MGO3 doesn't use Konami ID or get shut down in four years

RumbleFish3301d ago

This is not just about Konami ID or MGO. Metal Gear Solid will die if these informations are true.

Sad times!

Mikeyy3301d ago

Can't stand Konami id. What the F is wrong with just using my psn.

This is 2015 not 2003.

Perkel3301d ago

They don't want to pay PS store cut

fayz3301d ago (Edited 3301d ago )

omg forget konami id, stick to using xbl/psn id's

NarooN3301d ago

Konami ID was one of the dumbest shit-tier ideas ever. It was incredibly pointless to make people have one of those ON TOP of the pre-existing PSN usernames on MGO2.

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_Head985d 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.

SDuck985d ago

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

MasterChief3624985d 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.

GhostofHorizon985d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord985d 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.

MetroidFREAK21985d ago

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

franwex985d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21985d 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

franwex1037d ago

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

aaronaton1037d ago (Edited 1037d 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!

-Foxtrot2421d ago (Edited 2421d 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

GamesMaster19822421d ago

BlaqMagiq12420d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
