^ omg, that was easier then trying to get konami to fix my partial code. Thanks
Ya I know. I just tried (even though I have the beta and it's updated) and got it easily! I'll probably give my second one away.
I don't meet their qualifications.
Well, I guess I won't be playing.
Did you get a 'you failed' email? It mostly means they are out of them. Try the playstation forums, lots of people accidently got about 10 or so.
Played a few rounds. Am enjoying it.
I still need to get used to the new controls, but I already like them much more than the traditional MGS controls.

So why is it the game tells me to update. Then it loads a peer to peer loader and it starts downloading and goes up to all of 4kbps download, sits for 30-40 minutes, doesn't even get to 1% and i get frustrated and turn the bloody thing off

Because it knows you love to hate games and that you are really in it to get disappointed and whinge

Has the beta started?
They should really hurry up with it.....GTA4 is almost here and I can't split myself in 4...not yet at least.
Thread hijack: Anybody played the Siren demo....the controls are much better than the PS2 siren and the atmosphere is indeed tense.

2NY,
Yes it started this morning, if you need a code IM me or send me a PSN message.

meh
It's cool I guess, haven't played it too much since Persona 3 is my new addiction until GTAIV comes out (perfect 10 on IGN...). MGS controls are clunky and doesn't feel all that right for fast paced action but maybe im just in CoD4 mod still

LOL! you dirty ape
Cool..PSN me...anyone noticed they took down the beta download from the store...I guess the servers are slammed so they can't afford any more beta testers.
I played it by a friend and this is my kind of game.....it can be slow pace with the CQC etc or you can run and gun(which I really don't like thats why I rarely play COD4)
Steep learning curve with the controls but with a few more tweaks and it will be great. I was really surprised when I got into a CQC with a guy(camping non the less) and snapped his neck....good times.

I honestly wish the cover system was more like Rainbow Six Vegas where you hold down a shoulder button to hug a wall.
Would be nice if you could hold down L1 (Which is your aiming button in this game) to hug a wall that is nearby and to lean out and fire from a corner, you simply push the left stick in that direction. Then you simply can let go of L1 to leave cover if you wish. However there are a few more things that'd need to be worked out with such a system that one would have to think about more because I could see a potential problem with this with the way one would regularly use L1 in this game. Hmmm..
Anyways, with it as clunky as it is now, I don't see very many people using cover at all in MGO.
I still think a number of things have improved over the traditional MGS controls, but there's still certainly much more room for more improvement.
Still enjoying MGO though and can't wait for MGS4!

I've been playing some of it. It's a great game! I got used to the controls too.
My MGO character name is burnt[orange] I was gonna do something different but kept getting errors...

The new level and Sneaking mode are amazing. I just love playing as Snake, still haven't gotten a try at MK II.
I love the game. It is a different speed from CoD 4.
For the new comers on the game.
DO NOT STAND AROUND for there are lots of snipers and headshots kill you instantly.
And for god sake, in the beginning of the game, press start to start the game, don't make us wait 60 seconds doing nothing.
Sneak has to be to the best part of the game hands down. Team deathmatch with a snake twist to it.

Just got it to update after I forgot about it for a week. After an hours play I quite enjoyed it. Need to get used to the controls and check out all the different modes, but I like the pace and visual style of it. I was never a big MGS fan, always took a passing interest in it, however, I might stick to this one for a while.
FFS! When will I be able to download the frickin updates it tells me about ? Peer to Peer doesn't work. HTTP doesn't work.
If this is indicative of the final product then screw it

It doesn't work at all?? Have you tried it lately? This is a beta BTW expect problems... but I haven't had any problems in gameplay.
one of the biggest reasons it probably wasnt working properly was because they had way too many people. they must have had more than 3 times the number of people and there servers must have been overloaded. so much so that they closed the beta for europe, im not sure in other countries.
Oh I know that.
By the way, I had a good laugh when I logged in the first time to find out you must then make a unique name for your avatar. So to recap, I now have:
PSN ID
KONAMI ID
GAME ID
MGO Avatar Name
Wow...
Could have been worse though. They could have been "Friend" code numbers. Ugh.
