Metal Gear Online severs updated!

The following changes were made during the maintenance of the PSnetwork on the 26/08/2008:

1)Players will gain 5 reward points when they have finished a round in the automatching lobbies "SNAKE:EX", "LIQUID:EX" and "SOLIDUS:EX".

*The lobbies "SNAKE:EX", "LIQUID:EX" and "SOLIDUS:EX" are only available for users who have bought the "MGO GENE EXPANSION".

2)A new Survival Lobby "MK2" has been added.

You can find all this info at the bottom of the page, under "SERVER INFORMATION".

they moved the servers onto psn now?

pwnsause5711d ago

No, while the PSN network was going under maintanance, Konami was also updating the MGO servers, which are Proprietary Konami servers. its not that they were moving MGO to the PSN, hell if that happened, MGO could of been the best PSN game available at this present time, but Konami shot themselves in the foot for doing this.

badz1495711d ago

Konami is enjoying profitable run by hosting MGO off PSN! why would they want to do that? even Sony is not forcing them to do so! MGO will continue be only on Konami server as long as I can see and maybe they will put it on PSN comes a new HUGE IP like MGS4(MGS5 maybe?) sometimes down the road! I don't think Konami's server will be able to handle more than one HUGE games at one time! heck it crashed several times already due to MGO and even during the pre-order season of MGS4!

gameraxis5711d ago

how much is the expansion and what does it give me???

Cenobia5711d ago

It's about $12 US (I think $15 for the PLUS which gives an extra character slot). It gives you 3 new maps, access to Survival mode (where you earn reward points on Fri-Sun nights) and the characters Johnny and Meryl for use in any game. The characters have special abilities, but I've honestly never seen them used let alone play as one of them.

You can look it up, and buy it, here:

Cenobia5711d ago

It's nice that we got another Survival server. They always seem to fill up relatively fast.

The auto matching I don't really care about. The system seems pretty broken. Every time I try to join, it takes about 3 minutes to find a game. And 5 reward points isn't very much considering the people with the expansion can get at least 50 for each round of survival even if they lose (even if its only on the weekends). I don't mind it though, and will probably be trying those servers more often.

On a side note, did anyone else assume "EX" meant expert? I can't believe I didn't realize this earlier.

sinncross5711d ago

yay!!!

i have to download an update to use features that I cant even use, because konami wont let me buy the dlc.

thx a lot konami

Eromu5710d ago

Same here, their store keeps denying my cards so I can't buy the DLC. Part of the reason I haven't played any MGO in the last 2-3 weeks.

BISHOP-BRASIL5711d ago

I really don't like what konami did with online. Just look at the lobbies names, they saved the best ones for gene expansion. Actually, the meat of this sandwich can only be reached from the expansion, this is crap strategy. If they really think that much this game could be stand alone, bette to just sell it separeted, because doing so they just locked many peole out of the real game (I'm brazilian, can't buy expansion, even having the money... In fact, I wasn't even supposed to be playing it).

vlazed5711d ago

Metal Gear Online has seriously wasted its potential. If they would have streamlined everything through the PSN this would have been one of the most played games online, but they wanted to be greedy and most gamers didn't want to deal with the hassle. Signing up just to play MGO was like pulling teeth. Hopefully they learn for next time.

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

Welshy958d ago

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

Giblet_Head958d ago

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

SegaSaturn669958d ago

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.

SDuck958d ago

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

MasterChief3624958d 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.

GhostofHorizon958d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord958d 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.

MetroidFREAK21958d ago

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

franwex958d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21958d 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

franwex1010d ago

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

aaronaton1010d ago (Edited 1010d 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!

-Foxtrot2394d ago (Edited 2394d 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

GamesMaster19822394d ago

Shame i would have it but the online in mgo3 is boring as fuck.

BlaqMagiq12393d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
