[@Birdsofparadiselost]

As far as tactical shooters Ground branch,has got good customization, Ready or Not, ARMA (obviously) and the older Rising Storm 2

[@neomachine855]

@@Birdsofparadiselost Rainbow Six Vegas 2 had pretty good customization with the different armors, knee pads, shoulder pads, helmets, night vision goggles

[@sgr_sean]

For me mgo has the most variety without going full on just military, it had a nice middle ground of just clean looking gear and then slightly goofy items that really help you stand out

Back in the day I dropped out of high school. In part it was so that I could play this game as much as possible (but no worries, I’m an engineer now). Don’t have a PS3, and haven’t played in over 13 years, but I’m highly contemplating coming to play…. Great job to all who have contributed to keeping the game alive! Good work men

U can play it on PC too

[@Masterho310]

I remember back in the day when this was on the ps3 people would make custom servers and just practice CQC on each other in a massive circle jerk in the middle of the level. That's how slow it was to level up CQC in game. Makes sense that community figured out how to keep the game alive decades later.

Had hopes up for MGO3, but that was just miserable. MGO2 still remains as the best online multiplayer game there has been. Great that it's still alive.

[@perfect.stealth]

Same could be said about MGSV in general

[@DragonShinobi]

For anyone on the fence about trying SAVEMGO/MGO2 it's worth it. I didn't know about "MGO" till Phantom Pain's Metal gear online aka "MGO3" and that sucked to play. I'm a fairly new player to MGO2 and i'm at the average player rank of 12-13 (correct me if i'm wrong plz) and it's still a really fun time. I won't lie it gets very infuriating with the desync/lag and being curb stomped by the Vets of the game, but when you get into the chill lobbies and everything lines up and works perfectly There isn't a game that gives you the same feeling. Take your time, learn what works then try experimenting. Worst outcome you don't like it and don't play it again. Best outcome we'll see you again and hope you stay!

[@chadmanster1883]

I totally agree. The vets arent that helpful as i would have hoped for them to be tho.

[@DragonShinobi]

@@chadmanster1883 Sean streams MGO2 on saturdays normally, can always drop by and ask for tips.

[@cosmic_tkb]

@@chadmanster1883 I’m an old school player, mostly play TSNE. If you want tips or help, feel free to hit me up. I’m not a god or anything but I know the game inside and out. MGO can be a bit toxic but I want more new players lol. The more people we can get playing, the more fun we’ll be having together.

[@stone0234]

​@@chadmanster1883What do you want?

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

I don’t think MGO3 “sucked” to play. I think it was an afterthought. I think it had potential, but needed more put into it.

[@xXblazmodzXx]

I absolutely adore MGO, and I really appreciate the SaveMGO service, but a huge reason for me not coming back to play is toxicity. I know that's kind of a blanket excuse for any sweaty game, but the last 5 times I've returned to the game in order to try it out again, the player base is always comprised of a Very few amount of people, most of who are saying extremely weird, racist, and bizarrely sexual nonsense. There was a round where I didn't die once and the entire enemy team started to spam a bunch of weird copy-pasta macros in chat that said a lot of slurs and insults and its just like.. wow. I guess that's kind of to be expected for such a niche server for an already niche multiplayer component but wow it is Rough whenever I return to the game, and most of the time, not fun. Which is a shame, I miss the old group that I used to run around with back when I first tried SaveMGO on my PS3 all those years ago, but none of them play anymore due to the same reason, because most of the players are really weird, toxic individuals. That's kinda insane how every time ive returned, there's actually been a few people that I recognize from the last time I returned, and they would Still be on the same weird stuff they were on when I first played with them. I'd really like to return to the game sometime, if that problem is at the very least Heavily worked upon.

[@John-vu5qm]

What? I've played here for some time never had this happen. People barely talk or chat anyway. Bad excuses.

[@serPomiz]

MGO has the "you can just shoot them, but it WILL be the least effective way to do things" which other games never really managed to recapture it is nice to see that the fans are keeping this alive I hope at one point or another people more capable than me will make solar boy Django as one of the special characters

[@Oregonav8r]

Great video. It's truly incredible to me how much this game has improved since it officially went offline. Back in 2012 I would not have even imagined playing new maps or at 60 FPS. Sadly I'll be working for the first day of survival but I hope they have an awesome turnout!

[@badoof7803]

i just remember this game required a lot of work to actually play on a ps3. mgs4 was one of the first games my family got on the ps3 as we already had 2 and 3 on ps2. online mode was such a hassle to connect to that we played it once and never again.

[@asakimdowin379]

Now it's as easy as just creating an account on the savemgo website and following a 5 minute long set up video.

[@giorgioromanelli2546]

I was a university student back in 2009-2012 and i spent almost 800 hours playing SNE, now i'm a doctor and thanks to the savemgo staff i'm still playing this amazing game

[@jon5161]

It is crazy how we were all teens back in those days. I was playing this game while I was a junior in college. Now I am a full-time engineer. Metal Gear Delta has given me hope that the MG series has not completely died. What a time to be alive.

I remember playing this on the PS3 it took forever to install but was super fun especially when you got better it was hard.

Hearing the MGS2 alert song in the background really low is scary

[@ItalianJoe83]

This video is a "Very Good Total Take no Enemy's Goal" in every aspect, informative and very well edited, bravo: sometimes I wonder how much more popular MGO would have been if we had today's social media at our disposal back in 2008... I've spent most of my late 20s afternoons in those maps having so much fun also as a means to deal with my personal "Phantom Pain" for the end of the Solid Snake era of the Metal Gear saga and I still remember the final days of the original Metal Gear Online 2 as it was yesterday...😢 I really would like to give it a second try but now I'm in my early 40s and that time for me to play online multiplayer games has changed and there's no turning back unfortunately... About preserving the original MGO2: those against making new stuff are nothing more than self-proclaimed "experts" just jealous of other's achievements such as bringing back a multiplayer game killed by their beloved free review codes provider/Konami Digital Entertainment thus their opinions should be ignored.

[@sgr_sean]

life does get in the way sometimes, but if you should ever find the time to setup this and play it occasionally, wed love to have you. i hear you on the second part, unfortunately online discourse has become something of who can build the largest echo chamber, and that becomes the main opinion going forward

[@1241-c4e]

This game was so good, and probably one of the most challenging games out there when playing against good players 😂

[@frozenfragility6827]

The commmunity is horribly toxic still acting like 16 year olds though. as a person who played this a lot it was really weird getting back into it, had some fun but was swiftly ruined by toxic people.

[@sgr_sean]

Yeah we atleast still have a more active mod team so feel free to report these people when that happens. Take any clips as needed and the mods will take care of it. Weve had alot of people banned before and its honestly way better now than it was before But it aint perfect by any stretch.

[@SenbonKaguya]

Yeah I had my fair share of people being assholes, so it didn't surprise me. Nowhere near as bad as it was back during the official servers, but it was noticeable. I haven't been on in months so I'm not sure what its like now.

[@SenbonKaguya]

Good video my dude. I played MGO 2 a few months ago and you're absolutely right about the player count. I was getting my ass kicked mostly, but I had some fun so it wasn't too bad. Never got into survival back when it was out, and that was mainly because I had no one to play with. Will be interesting to see how the numbers go this Saturday when Survival launches again. Hope you have fun!

[@cosmic_tkb]

Day 1 MGO2 player here. So happy it’s much easier to play the revival now. Setting it up on PS3 was a huge barrier for a lot of people. The PC setup is amazing. Hopefully we can keep it alive for years to come.

[@AvengedHate26]

I wish my ps3 wouldn’t have bricked I want this game back bad!

I've been playing it on and off since it came out on PS3, the OG one and the SaveMGO one, when they ported it over to PC I've intruduced so many friends to it, but like you said the skill level meant me destroying them even if I didn't mean to and I tried teaching them, I hope that videos like this make a ton of people join us!

[@sgr_sean]

@@Dilsoc as long as people xontinue to try and keep the door open for people to play the game and eventually get to the level they need to be at And teach people what they need to know since alot of this game is very specific. Then people will stick around. But being toxic and or mean to people for getting things wrong wont get the playerbase anywhere, thats atleast how i see it.

​@@sgr_sean hey sean I'm sorry I'm trying to tell as many people as possible about the survey Konami has after their newest metal gear hotline series video.

[@RallForeman]

Was sad to see I couldn't play MGO2 but was super happy back when MGS5 released with MGO3. Tried it a few times near it's release and it was fine...till the meta set in...everyone ran stealth invis and the same kit. Devolved quickly into both teams lower level players having to camp a corner of the map with explosives and tightly together unless they wanted to get snatched anywhere on the map constantly from someone running around invisible.

[@Mumra2K]

7:30 True. I've found a way to scratch the MGO2 survival itch but, of course, nothing truly compares to the same experience that MGO2 provided. The absolutely best online shooter game ever, even despite the glitchers, DDOSsers and other undesirables that plagued the scene.

[@Trash_Kann]

Although I never heard of this game before, it looks really interesting and fun. I just hope that I get enough breathing room to learn the game and not die to veterans. I'll give it a try.

[@crichton397]

I wasn't fond of MGO 2 but it had it's moments. I'm afraid this resurrected version is likely comprised of the most extreme, "10 years of playing the same game" players who probably only play the same COD-esque game modes and don't do Sneaking Matches, or Unique characters often. Probably the people who ran around with offensive usernames/clan names too. The progression system wasn't fun and the whole losing your rank/lv wasn't fun either. I'm sure people will enjoy this return, but I don't think this version is meant for a casual player like me. 17:50 - And I disagree with that on principle.

[@sgr_sean]

For casual players we offer level locked rooms where higher levels cant join. Thats the best thing we can do to avoid it, but it also means to new players have to fill that room themselves, as they arent the active ones. For those rooms its always either sneaking modes or a mix of modes. As far as the last part Idk what your disagreeing with on principal since the main game is left on touch and only new additions are being added without changing the rest.

[@Sye_1337]

Thanks again always for the information!

[@rockittt]

I used to play this game back in the day, but I could never work around MGS4's atrocious aiming controls, how it uses its weird tank like linear interpolation to shift as you aim a weapon down sight and how you have to follow a tutorial on how to basically aim if you wanna be able to even play the game (I watched an in depth "How to aim" or similar title video and it was pretty insane! That coupled with the games mandatory headshot nature has made it a bit of a pass for me. What would be cool is if mouse and keyboard was added to the game to allow proper aiming so that you wouldn't be hampered by the game's native control scheme and have to rapidly switch between cardboard box and making sure your current vertical aim is 90 degrees and using left right movement to help aim etc and just point and shoot, I guess a lot of veteran MGO players would disagree with me but at the same time having basic mouse support would make the game substantially easier to play the basic fundamental of aiming for a headshot quick kill and thus make it more accessible to those looking to get into a community.

[@DanSmeed]

That would be kinda OP though, since all players wouldn't use a mouse and keyboard. All players aren't even on PC.

[@cosmic_tkb]

No way. Mouse and keyboard would totally break the game lol. It also utilizes pressure sensitive button controls on the DS3 controller. I guess that can be worked around but it really plays best with a DS3.

Can anyone tell me the player count of this game currently? I practically grew up on this game Middle school/High School.

That was my all time favorite thing was graduating students and dicking around with all these fun and enjoying randos online . I still put a lot of time into my craft to become really good as I wanted to be "Fit" of the instructor ya know lmao? It was that immersive and enjoyable to me I created my own guy to how I wanted and would play that for months on end with no other game inbetween. So if anyone who is currently active in the community, can you tell me 1) Is the current player base sufficient . Like.. Over 3-400 players around the clock, or are we looking at maybe 100 players online at once will be lucky. It does matter to me since I don't wanna just PVP with sweats all day long without some sort of 'Chill and Grad' 2) Are Chill and Grad/ Training servers still decently popular within' the small community?

Quick question - I'd love to get into this and play online again as I only dablled briefly back in 2010, but how is it for new players? Like are the lobbies full of pro's or is there a variety of player skills? (Great vid btw!)

[@DanSmeed]

I would say it's varied but at the same time most players are better than someone just starting. There are often rooms for new/low level players. But you will sometimes need some patience to join that as the only player and wait for others. Or host your own game. There's also a great variation when it comes to experienced players. I consider myself experienced, but I'm nowhere near those who are the best. Some people have played the game for years, likely for many hours every week and with a competitive mentality. I recommend simply staying away from those if you're new. I mean at least games that includes a majority of high level players. I would say that high level in MGO is 14 or higher. Then there's the ones who are 16 or higher. What can I say about those... They will headshot you before you get 3 bullets out of your gun.

[@sgr_sean]

Theres a low level lobby exclusively for people that are new to the game. Id say there is definitely a variety but their not all on at the same time, if you see someone in the high levels usually 16 or above chances are their going to be insanely good. 14-15 is good 11-12 average 10 is new or below average if their stuck there.

[@DanSmeed]

@@sgr_sean So level 13 doesn't exist?

[@sgr_sean]

@@DanSmeed yeah usually you dont stay at 13 that long. If your good you blow past it into 14 pretty quick. Cause the xp you gain changes depdning on average level in the lobby and since most people are 14-15 You tend to blow through levels 10-13 But since low level lobbies are 10-12 thats why the discrepancy is there.

[@DanSmeed]

@@sgr_sean Does it depend on average level? I thought it was more about the level of the opponents you defeat and are defeated by. And other factors such as how you performed earlier.

[@GoldenAgeCo6373]

Great content now I have a question what is the best PC to play this on? Please reply with full set up and details. I will be buying my first PC gaming set up in the coming weeks. Money isn't an issue so go ahead and comment what you think I should buy thanks.

[@manlikeacsel]

i launched mgsv fine, switched to mgo 3, it freezes on the loading screen...

[@Curseofculture]

I would try but not sure if my laptop would be able to handle it doesn’t take much for my laptop to decide to shit itself

[@jomclaren-18]

Mgo2 was the best online game, i Made so many friends, the clan sistem was so unic and haed of its time, survivol and tournmant was soo exciting and competitive

[@AlhusainREC]

Great video i love mgo, I recently joined MGO I'm at like 60 hours now and I already know how the game work I'm now lvl 16 I try to join TSNE lobbies only because this is the fun at. I sometimes run at this problem of what is fun? running AR2 Run2 is fun for like several of hours of the game but just to notice that everyone is running the same thing i see so many un used talents or skills i could say whole trap system is un used for good players, so many dead talents or skills because AR is superior to everything. you can run other talents such as shotgun or handgun but you always find yourself in super disadvantage scenarios that you wish you could switch your talents or suffer for like 2 rounds of playing with dead talents. i agree with your point of the new changes to the game , new clothes are fun and new maps or new game modes are fun but I really really want to rebalance the game talent systems the game now run at 60 fps and i notice that now the P90 sup machinegun is super super fast shooting when you play with pc. I would like the dev to look again at the 4 point talent for example uni characters are played a lot on TSNE rooms and characters like snake or ocelot have like 20 points of talents they have cqc ex handgun3 ar3 run1 etc... and its not super broken or anything you can cook them easily if you are good at the game why not expand this idea to our characters? i would like to run with Raiden sword or vamp knife in TDM rooms. over the years MGO closed i played different games like World of Warcraft or League or Legends i kinda have different view now of mgo these games (wow,lol) keep changing like every 2 weeks for example. i know many people would argue that keeping stuff classic but for me i played that 1000th of hours when running ar2run2 kinda bore me now thats why i only join TSNE room, as much as i love survival and its come back i already see that good people would run these skill and dominate the night and you many see 1 of the team run shield 3 for objective. Anyway there is much i want to see from MGO but i know i would just get endless arguments that keeping the game classic is best way and it true argument but i think balancing should be their because i know before they add female i remember that AR was not as op as now ? and cqc was dominating but they nerfed it so balance of different view can be looked at, we can say that people at that time didn't know how to counter cqc as of today now you just get cooked if you try to cqc good player. There is some on TSNE you can't actually touch with cqc in TSNE rooms. Great game, i hope it stays forever i wish more people know about how fun its.

I still Plat this on ps5, probably about 42 players a day and you WILL be fighting the same sweaty people and waiting to join full matches for 10 minutes at a time. I have 1500 hours in mgo3 😅 I'm changing my gamertag soon but it's BJJREDBELT if anyone wants to team up, I go non lethal

[@PlurpleUnicorn]

god I miss this game. gotta preface this, its Konami, so iffy: I hope with this MGS Delta, and ... "master collection" they think about a new MGO. Part of me would be afraid to bring SaveMGO up to them, but part of me wants to be like "Konami, they've rebuilt and added to this version of MGO... Its THAT good. You have the formula... use it, for the love of god". Hell, they've been doing mobile stuff. Do a mobile PW? idk. OH, Infinity mission for Portable Ops +, spin off that.

[@qmurray]

I still have my ps3 and this game. Is MGO MGS4 is currently online ??

[@sgr_sean]

it was brought back, but you need to do some modding to access mgo again. but it was indeed brought back online

[@asakimdowin379]

PS3 is an option for playing. But it's probably much easier to set up on PC if you have one of those.

[@liquidsnake8630]

I recently bought a ps3 just to play this as my pc can't run it lol. but man defo worth it I'd say the only down side is the fps on the ps3 but ferm hand shakes to the devs never got to play it back in the day but I can now thanks to the legendary devs who got it back up and running my saviours.😊

[@jon5161]

Thank you for this video. Metal Gear Delta has revived my interest in the Metal Gear series. I have always been a die-hard fan, and played MGO1 2 and 3. I definitely agree that MGO2 was the absolute best and am pleasantly surprised to see that SaveMGO did more than just revive the game, but added new content. With that in mind, I must ask. How does SaveMGO stay afloat to maintain these servers. Is there a subscription or do they ask for donations?

[@cosmic_tkb]

There is no subscription. You can download and play completely free of charge.

[@Hitman2b]

make me wonder if MGS3 Delta will have the multiplayer componant

[@sgr_sean]

They still have a good portion of the people that made mgo still on the team iirc

I remember playing it back in the days, but I also vividly remember how the game got absolutely demolished by all sorts of cheaters all over the place, is it still the case?

can you under arm throw grenades in mgo2 on pc? I know its pressure sensitive but no mater how light or hard i do it, its always over arm

@@Khelidube. If you dont have a dualshock 3 you have to mess with the controls in rpcs3 to do a toggle version instead, the discord has tutorials on how to set that up
