About Me
Aiayla(pronounced Eye-aye-lah)

also sometimes known as:
Palidi

^heed me, im not good with knowing the phonetical symbols

Unfortunately, my PS3 has dun got broke'd. So at this time, yeah, don't try and do anything like shoot me a friend request on PSN or nothing. I'm not sure when I'll be able to put aside any spare cash to fix it(god... I miss my Metal Gear Online T~T).

Of course, because of this, I've been spending a lot more time on my PC. I'm on steam, and run most my game through it. Also Destructoid... but I'm here, and if you're reading this... so are you... so... yeah... not sure where I was going with that. =P

I don't has Xbox 360. I'd like to get one at some point, but for now I have been occasionally playing on a friends, and pretty much only playing Halo:Reach(ack, another game I will miss playing after the semester ends). Of course, I also play games that do support the Games For Windows Live, so it may look like I'm up for gaem... but that may not always be the case.



Was running an official retail copy of Windows 7 Professional since 9/5/09. RIP Lapphy 1/1/10.

Now running Windows 7 Home Premium since 1/1/10 .

Second Hand info on the MGO 1.30 patch changes(Minor Update).
Sterling Aiayla Lyons | 2:26 PM on 03.17.2009 9 comments


Last night(this morning depending on your time zone) Konami dropped their newest expansion for Metal Gear Online in the form of the version 1.30 patch. Unfortunately for me, I don't have my PS3 with me, but luckily, there was a list of update changes posted on the MGO Website. One important piece of info I picked out from it was this:

Several fixes have been implemented to prevent cheating by using lag switches. As a result of these fixes, we have restored the "Friendly Fire" option in "Survival" and "Tournament" games. Furthermore, in public "Survival" and "Tournament" matches using RES/TSNE, if you kill or stun more than half of your teammates (including yourself), your team will automatically be disqualified.

Quite a few of the MGO players on GameFAQs.com seem to feel that the latency has been tightened up too, although I won't be able to see for myself until this Friday and the Weekend.



From lurking around the game-faks, I managed to pick some more things up:

-New music tracks include those from MGS2, MGS3, Metal Gear:Ghost Babel, Boktai, Lunar Knights, Policenauts, and Snatcher, and a random option.

-The MK.23(aka. the SOCOM pistol from MGS1) is a beast of a weapon, and RPG is now twice as expensive.

-The ranks(Sloth, Foxhound, ect.) were reset. UPDATE: No one really knows why.

-There's a ?????? map that has not been released yet.

-Options to change the size of the HUD and interface.

-Codec Pack 2 is available for purchase($5), contains phrases "Spread your wings and fly"(Major Zero, MGS3 Opening Scene), "Watch out for boxes", and "There's a trap!"

So, anyone on Destructoid taken the new update for a spin and have some opinions on it? Is it really that
awesome, or is it all La Le Lu Le Lo?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Did they fix the numerous glitches?
Can foxhounds still enter the newbie playlist?

And I like how they came up with a new way of griefing, way to go Konami.

@IronPikeman:

If you don't let the high skill of current players dissuade you, maybe you should give it another go.

I don't know what glitches were fixed. You'll just have to play it to find out. Also, newbie playlists?
