Was it really THAT good boomer bros? i never got to play it

Imagine the middest mid that's ever midded, now multiple that by mid and divide by mid. That's how mid it is

You can still play it on emulator, same with MGO1. But you'll be up against autists

>>712506000 (OP)
It was not good. Played it for like 2 days & then forgot it existed.

i member goofing off with box shenanigans and never actually playing that's about it

it was fun but it was before the days of ranked tryhard netdecking faggots. you wouldn't be able to release a game like that today

>>712506000 (OP)
>checked
The global chat, custom games people would come up with ("zombie" mode with vamp, switch teams and use knife when killed), "chill" servers and the rest of the regular game was pretty cool. Character customization was pretty decent and there was an interesting variety of skills to unlock too.
You can still play it if you can emulate it, but as the other anon says, you're basically just going to be going up against the sweats just looking to insta-ping headshots since casual players are gone.

The biggest fuck ups were the Konami ID shit, and IIRC it had some goofy shit with the DLC splitting the playerbase.

>>712506000 (OP)
No, every version of MGO was bad and a complete waste of time. Kojimbo could've put more content into the single-player than a niche "stealth" (lmao) multiplayer game that was just "who abuses auto-aim faster and better than the other."

I will give MGO3/MGS4 version props for the "sons of the patriots" system, that some other multiplayer titles should attempt to ape in regards to 3D spotting (grab an enemy and "interrogate" them to gain information on where their teammates are in the game world) and keeping players together (salute each other to know where your teammate[s] are in the game world).

But MGO just didn't work as a stealth multiplayer game.

It was pretty good

>>712506000 (OP)
Anyone who says this shit was good is a LARPing zoomer faggot that never actually played it back then

>>712509242
What's it bad compared to?

>>712509363
Spies vs Mercs

>>712506000 (OP)
It was the first Beta I ever got into and it was fucking magical

>>712507240
>it was before the days of ranked tryhard netdecking faggots

Someone never played Survival and then Tournaments.

>>712506129
He asked for boomer opinions

>>712506000 (OP)
didnt get a chance to play it either. and really wanted to cause that's where the rest of the game went

>>712510804
Similar to MGO, the most advanced the core gameplay/movement got, the worse the asymmetrical MP mode got. CT Spies vs Mercs is better than any version after

>>712507774
>But MGO just didn't work as a stealth multiplayer game.

Sneaking Mission, Team Sneaking and Stealth Deathmatch were all great stealth multiplayer modes.

>>712506000 (OP)
I only played the PS2 version. It was fun but janky as hell and the community was autistic af

>>712506000 (OP)
Dude those random ass headshots were brutal.

>>712511367
>the community was autistic af
The MGO2 community was the most toxic community I've ever been part of. It's where "get good" originated, not Dark Souls. Because saying "gg" after a match wasn't toxic enough, they had to tell the other players that it meant it "get good" and not "good game" as was traditionally understood up to that point.

>>712510804
Actually very true, I concede. Spies vs Mercs was really good and I'm sad we never got more games like it afterwards. You could absolutely abuse mercs in that mode and could talk to them in a grapple kek. However MGO2 was still pretty good for what it was.

>>712510804
That's the wrong SvM you bitch.
>>712511332
DA SvM was significantly less complex than CT though. I assume it was a deliberate choice to try and make it more approachable since everyone said CT SvM was cool but barely anyone played it.

>>712511478
SIRS is this real

>>712513829
He's not wrong, it was about as bad as the monhun tri community

>>712506000 (OP)
It was really good actually. Totally forgot about it.

It was that good. People that complained MGS4 had too little gameplay; MGO2 was the place to really go to town with all the possibilities that the mechanics and systems had to give.

>but the laggers and the cheaters and the power-tripping community
Yeah there was that too, didn't care. I kept to TDM and Team Sneak mostly. Only downside was that one had to participate in the toxic events if you wanted to buy fashion items.

>>712514662
MGO, like alot of MP games that were "throwaway" modes, had magic you don't really get now. TLOU1, Bioshock 2, AC Brotherhood etc

>>712514662
I fucking loved Survival. It's how a ranked competitive mode should be. Making it exclusive to several hours a day on certain days of the week was what made it special. Everyone who took the game seriously showed up for it and it made the rest of the game strictly casual.

>>712506000 (OP)
You can play it right now and see for yourself

>>712514874
It's funny how throwaway modes had way more content than modern games do now, and also almost all of these throwaway modes gave you skins and fashion for free just by playing the game. Now people buy a virtual helmet for $20 in a live service game that launches with almost no cosmetics lol.

>>712514874
>>712517452
Meanwhile, today's games somehow barely have enough focus to cover their lone main mode properly. Truly we don't have a ton of room for experimentation anymore.

>>712506000 (OP)
The lag in this was crazy, but it was the most fun i had in a multiplayer shooter

>>712506000 (OP)
I wish this was on PC(not emulator)

>>712518563
Yeah it's pretty pathetic, and the excuse a lot of people give to game devs is that it would split the playerbase up, which is completely fucking retarded because if the community decides they like a certain mode more than others then they should be allowed to collectively make that decision.

>>712506000 (OP)
I remember it being quite laggy and matchmaking very annoying.

>>712506000 (OP)
>was
It IS that good. Still is.

>>712506000 (OP)
chek

>>712507547
I still remember having to make a konami ID within 10 minutes or the site would fuck up before you finished. Accidental ddosing was funny in hindsight.

>>712507774
>MGO just didn't work as a stealth multiplayer game.
Cuz it wasn't. It was just third person counter strike deathmatch, and that's fine

>>712522921
>>712507774
It had stealth, not just TSNE/SNE but the maps allowed for lots of stealth options. Getting the drop on someone was a good way to make up for them shooter better

>>712520494
i miss games like this

>>712506000 (OP)
It was the absolute best online game I've ever played.
The problem is it was completely ruined by lag switchers and some chinese tech that allowed you to cheat. It's such a shame too.

>>712507774
>>712520439
These all sound and look great

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNRISE SUPLEX denied

I remember by it took ages to get into a game.

When i did some guy with a big black character was just going around doing the cqc quick toss to the ground and teabagging people

Also needing to use 3rd party shit to get the expansions was weird

>>712524591
>I remember by it took ages to get into a game.
You remember wrong then, outside of surv or tourney there was no matchmaking just rooms, and there was no waiting for matches in surv or tourney either if you played in the same lobby as everyone else.

Fortnite does it, but like always people will not acknowledge any good thing this game does because 'lol children game"
