How do you fire? Three round bursts?

First Person is the only way you can pop around corners to take someone down, but that does leave you standing in one spot and prone to getting shot at as a stationary target...

You don't really need to be in first-person to pop around a corner and rape face. I make heavy, heavy use of camera exploitation and switching which side my toon is on. And no, I leave it on full auto, if I only need a few shots, I'll tape the trigger a few times. I haven't been playing much lately. But here are some stats:

Code:
                KILLS   DEATHS  STUNS  STUNS RECIEVED   	
HS         405    252 0     2
LOCK ON 0    10  0     0
OTHER      172    204  0           10
ALL         577    466 0     12

That's for all game types. But I only really play Base mode. Which has a k:d of 174:108. That'll go up as I've gotten better. I find base mode requires less tactical advantage from an organized team once you've gotten very good at aiming and abusing the camera. Also, I'm not saying these stats are good by any means. But I've got no regulars I play with but I've played 155 rounds and won 95 of them. Here's some more:

Friendly Kills    3 Times    <- On purpose. Some people are just a hindrance.
CQC Attacks Given    0 Times  <- woot.
CQC Attacks Taken    28 Times <- Considering how many people do CQC, I'm proud of this.
Times Caught in Trap       20 Times <- Not proud of that. Always friendly fucking magazines too.

Code:
Base Scores:
ROUND     71   
WIN   45
SCORE 2610

Cap Scores:
ROUND   45   
WIN    25
SCORE 2495

Anyway, we should play some. Ah neeeeeed people to play with.

The TV my PS3 is on is shared for the house, so if someone wants to watch TV, I'm fucked.  But we're already signed up as Friends so it shouldn't be that big a deal to get on Friend's List in MGO.  The Friend's List functionality is pretty good as far as I can tell.  I can quickly add friends and the such and see where they are on the website without logging in.

Just watched the ending. Decently satisfying if not way too wordy, but wordy is Kojima's thing.

Headshots are still hard to pull off but I'm doing better now.  Just got my Hawk.

Is it me, or is it that MGO would be 100x more popular if it was released on XBox Live?

Oh, and didn't involve all the assinine steps to get into the game.

I would be terrible at this game on the 360. Don't ask me why. Basically though, I play games on each controller slightly differently. Wouldn't translate to that one for me.

Well I mean in terms of userbase, not necessarily control schemes.  I think I only ever see at most 1500 - 2000 concurrent players.  Sure, that's a lot of games, but it's not like Live with its, what, 1 million concurrent users or something for CoD4 or something?

It was this way with Warhawk on F13.  You and I were the only ones playing it.  But yesterday's gaming session ... I was a LOT better.  Like, 40 kills 3 deaths.  I'm playing smarter now.  But I do want to try out different builds (CQC, Traps, etc)

My friend who is not very tech savvy or and doesn't have an abundance of patience got this game mostly for the multiplayer. He is used to playing Xbox Live, and he couldn't get MSG4 to connect to any games for 3 days, so he took the game back.

My strongest recommendation to him would be to avoid Automatching at all costs.  It took 15 minutes just to go from 12 to 10 needed on 3 separate attempts, then we went into Free Battle and got a game right away.

Updates from Famitsu:

July 4th:

New mode - Team Sneaking
New Setting - Headshot kill

July 17th:

Bonus Pack (1200yen) - Johnny and Meryl playable, Female PMCs can be created, 3 new maps, Official Survival Battle can be played

Hurray! Here's hoping for another sniper friendly map like MM.

Updates:

The 3 maps are Shadow Moses, Meiling's Ship and MGS1 Heliport. (OMG WUT)

Team Sneaking is the only new MODE. It has two teams, a sneaking team and a defending team. The sneaking team can use stealth camo.

The headshot mode SETTING. When it is turned on, you can only k-ill (stupid filter) a player with a headshot.

--

*sigh* I wanted to create a female PMC.  Does that mean I have to reset all my data?

Rad. You can buy another toon for $7 as a one time fee or something.

Yeah but there's no point in having alts.  Not like my raid group needs a CQC Expert to take down Liquid Magtheridon or something which would require making another character.
