Forum:Metal Gear Online

Has anyone else here managed to get into the MGO Premier Beta? Me and Selo have been playing it pretty much non-stop the past few days, and I figured I'd post some of my impressions here. First off, the controls are really different to any previous Metal Gear game. According to reports, these controls are shared with MGS4 as well, so it's good to have this beta to get the gist of the control scheme before it hits in June. I'm hoping that MGS4 will have something similar to VR Missions included, because the controls take a while to get used to, and can be quite frustrating at first. Luckily when the controls click, it feels just right... But don't worry it still feels like Metal Gear. The graphics, of course, are gorgeous, especially on a nice big HD TV (which Selo will no doubt brag about later, hehe!). In general, the gameplay is great. It balances stealth and action really nicely. You can sneak and use the box (or the drum can) to hide and really take your time with it, but the new control scheme really helps with the action style, and it's something that will attract a lot of people who aren't into Stealth games. I'm having a lot of fun with it and I'm glad. I wasn't a fan of Subsistence's online, and I never played Portable Op's online so I'm glad that this version seems to be much better. Can't wait to play the full game! --Fantomas 20:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
