Metal Gear: Portable Ops online

[Bobtheduck]

So, I just played my first game online... It's pretty messed up, because I had one of my teammates try to salute me, and I was trying to figure out the salute button, and I ended up hitting him and throwing him to the ground...

I'm glad to know that even though MG: online was shut down, Portable ops still has online... Once I learn how to play it, I can do it while I'm out, too... If I find free wireless, that is.

Have you tried it more? How is it?

Have you tried it more? How is it?

I don't have a wireless router at home... I may want to get one for this, though... And for when my parents decide to buy a laptop.

It seemed to play pretty much like the single player game, except for the text messaging and the saluting. I never figured out how to salute...

What I noticed while I was playing is that I got shot by people I could never see... Not surprising, this is a STEALTH game so I'm sure they had good hiding spots and I didn't, because I didn't know the level... The other problem was lag... Lag on PO was different than lag in other games I'd played... Instead of everything stuttering, my character just... stopped moving... Of course, maybe that wasn't lag... Maybe that was a cheater trying to target me easier... I don't have TOO much experience with online, but I know cheaters are a big problem in every online game... I don't think I'd be able to handle too much of that, so I may not play online a whole lot if that's really common.

I'll play it tomorrow night, when I go to the coffee shop. Hopefully I'll be able to re-recruit the 2 soldiers I got there... I accidentally deleted my file after, like, 3 hours on the thing... At least it's not like when i played Final Fantasy and saved over my almost to the end file... Or had a friend do that, too... That's happened before...

What I HAVE been doing with the game, though, is finding different wireless spots to recruit. You need access to the wireless routers (as in, passwords too) to go online, but you only need to FIND one to recruit a new soldier... It's sorta like pokemon with people. And I absolutely love it...

They did shut down MGO! NOOOOO! To salute people all ya gotta do is press select and R together. I'll probably be getting a wireless router this week HOPEFULLY my MGO exp. will make be a little better than your average noob.

I got kicked out of a game... I don't know why... They thought I sucked too much, I guess... What does it take to make your own games? I'd love to kick people out who glitch and lock the game up... That got really annoying.

I actually started doing pretty well... Well, sorta... I got like 5 kills by the end of one of my games, and considering how I started, that's not too bad... it's an improvement, for sure...

Ronin, we should try to meet up on the game. Just tell me which server and which game... In fact, anyone who has this game, we should schedule meet ups... All my meetups would most likely come on Tuesday evenings, though...

I afraid until I move back in with my poppy I wont be getting a wireless router, I had to much trouble with them already I don't want to think about it.

As for your sever troubles, Ya know I had that problem with MGO so did my cousin. Sorry I don't have any useful information but thought I'd let ya know your not the only one.
