Metal Gear Online Saturdays:CALLING ALL DESTRUCTOID CLAN MEMBERS!!
Y0j1mb0 | 4:11 PM on 06.28.2008 51 comments





This post is to call forth our MGO Destructoid Clan Members who care to join us tonight for supremecy and rankings. Shipero, Ha-Puken, SantanaClaus, Video_Cognito and I are looking to roll out as a team today. Those that joined Toneman's Destructoid clan we require your presence. If you still haven't joined our ranks, fret not. It's as simple as you leaving your Game Characters Name so we can add you to our friend's list or you could just log online and search for our clan and join. Again you may want to tell us what skills you're rolling with so we can get a broder picture what skills we are lacking at as a team to further augment that to our benefit. While we would all like to be snipers it's not practical for us all to be on the roof.



Time to get this soiree that is METAL GEAR ONLINE SATURDAYS started. Time is @ 10pm EST. Again if your interested and want to work up your rank and your play with us from the ground up...join us. We would love to have you guys aboard. Heads up, we are only playing Team Modes such as Bases [ Domination-like Mode ] and Team Deathmatch amongst others. No Deathmatch or every man for himself modes here.

Again come join us and let's do this. Since we can take pictures of our exploits in multiplay, expect pics to accompany our recaps for these events as well. Here's to a really good turnout. It should be considering everybody with a PS3 should have this game. I look forward to seeing the lot of you online.

Let's show the world at large how Ninja like we really are. If for whatever reason you can't get in the clan just search for Shipero online ( His PSN is the same as his name here ) and then join his room. Here's to a great night.

[ Also, I would like to thank again Toneman for the amount of hours he put in to get our Destructoid Clan up and operational. You da Man! ]

cjpkiller's Destructoid Blog
also, I will be unable to play this week, as I am lending out my ps3 to my brother to beat...
he is taking fucking forever to play it though, he hasnt even gotten the mark 2 yet...
*sigh*
so perhaps in two or three weeks I can join you all, have fun.
Palidi's Destructoid Blog

I think I sent in a clan request thingie already, but haven't checked in on it in the past few days.

Currently sporting Knives+ lv. 3 and CqC+ lv. 1 with a Sniper Rifle primary weapon. Has been occasionally seen ditching the sniper rifle for a speed boost.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
cjpkiller:

Solid Snake Saturdays..Hmmm.

frozenbabylon:

Come anyway..it's totally different with a team man. Thats the way it's supposed to be played.
xMalachi's Destructoid Blog
How long will you guys be on for? If it will be quite some time I might be on late tonight around 11 or 12 Central.
Devil May Sly's Destructoid Blog
Also forgot to mention I'm just starting off, so I've got jack shit in terms of abilities.

Anything in specific you guys are looking for right now?
Aerox's Destructoid Blog
My character is Aerox.

I am trying really hard to get into MGO, but I'm having a difficult time. Maybe playing more will warm me up to it...
DarkTravesty's Destructoid Blog
i'll show up whether or not i'll be good is another story :P
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
We will be on for awhile as for what skills to roll with Devil..since you're starting out you may want to roll with SMG at the very least..the rest I leave to you.
Devil May Sly's Destructoid Blog
Alright, I'll see you guys on later then. How many of you have headsets?
MaximusPaynicus's Destructoid Blog
You have my skills with a M4!

Also, to brag a little bit -- my KD ratio is somewhere around +130, and about 70% of my kills are via the headshot -- with an M4.
Devil May Sly's Destructoid Blog
Oh also, what's the clan name to search for?
MaximusPaynicus's Destructoid Blog
Type "Destructoid" into the clan search. You'll only get one match.
TheRookieMonster's Destructoid Blog
I remember being cheeky to you like a few weeks ago and I do apologize for that lol. I'm in, though i've only played a few hours of it so far and only have the controls down, not the map layouts or other of "teh uber l337" spots. I'll look for the clan name and send a request or however it works.

PSN: TheRookieMonster
IceMax's Destructoid Blog
I played MGO for the first time last night, and sucked ass. perhaps I'll do better with a team.
PSN: Ice_Max
MGO: Ice Max
grassr00ts's Destructoid Blog
i should be in for some mgo tonight, i just set up my online account, and my mgo is the same as my dtoid- x311grassr00tsx. i have two questions, while playing do you need to press anything to talk with everyone else on your team, like warhawk, or is it like cod4 where it automatically lets you talk without pressing a button. my second quesion is in what lobby will the game be set up in? or can you help me to figure out how i can search for shipero to find the game?
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
@311

The mic is easy, turn it on,let it connect to the ps3,
and when on the team selection screen(this is for the first time) go to options and go to voice chat/ sounds menu screen, and then swith the two input/out options to usb/bluetooth head set, then hold down select botton for 2 seconds, and voice chat will be activated, hope this helps!!!!! :)
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
@311
Note than once the VOICE CHAT symbol appears when you play the game, the mic WILL stay on this mode until you switch it off.
SunTzu's Destructoid Blog
Send me an invite or whatever, MGO name is mox_panda
scottoid's Destructoid Blog
will be there. ready to play
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
damn it I have work tonight. but then again its this job that got me a ps3.
Devil May Sly's Destructoid Blog
Just applied for the clan. Also, at the moment I'm going with Assault Rifle+, Runner, and Hawkeye. Standard stuff, but I'd rather stray from the route of CQC+Knives that everyone else seems to be going.
Celdurant's Destructoid Blog
I'll try to make it, though I may be late and end up not playing ><
scottoid's Destructoid Blog
just got the apply sent. lets do this!!!
shipero's Destructoid Blog
Room's up in Otacon.
yahtwice's Destructoid Blog
I'ld love to get in on one of these, so far I have played mgo once. Unfortunately work at 5am and a lack of a headset keeps me away tonight. My id is yahtwice.
aj2good4you2's Destructoid Blog
im done for the night due to 16 disconnections from the room. i love the game design i just hate the netcode with a passion. IMHO its the laggiest most unstable game ive ever played, i let it pass in the beta but the lag really makes it unplayable to me. if they ever fixed this issue i would play it for days.
shipero's Destructoid Blog
password is 'toid' for those who don't know.
manta's Destructoid Blog
AJ2, I really haven't experienced any terrible lag. You know you can filter the games so that you only have a "good" connection right? Where are you located?
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
I was under the impression that it was Metal Gear Mondays...oh well, I can't play tonight, sorry guys.
aj2good4you2's Destructoid Blog
@MANTA

i already tried that and it doesn't make a difference, Ive tested it out on 4 of my friends internet connections and i get the same result.this is the only game on any system that does this for me.ive found that if its 6 people or less it wont lag but anymore and the game becomes unplayable, and its not the typical teleporting all over the place lag that other games give. the lag isn't noticeable until u start shooting at someone and the bullets have a 1-2 sec delay. i can be dead and i see the blood spurts coming out of the guy that just killed me. i really love the game but i just wish it was playable for me.
aj2good4you2's Destructoid Blog
@ MANTA

also forgot to add that im in texas
frozenbabylon's Destructoid Blog
Damn. Looks like I missed the fun for tonight. So I'll just add my PSN and my MGO game for the next go around.

FrozenBabylon for both.
DarkTravesty's Destructoid Blog
its 1139 here and psn i guess has crashed for me. Its not my connections so i guess i'm done. also damn all those snipers!
manta's Destructoid Blog
@AJ

Have you tried hosting at all?
Devil May Sly's Destructoid Blog
Damn, that was fun, even if I did get shot way too much. Can't wait for next time.
SunTzu's Destructoid Blog
@Darktravesty

Yeah, I lost my connection too. Oh well.
aj2good4you2's Destructoid Blog
@MANTA

yes i have hosted and it goes smooth until more than 6 people join in. it also seems like its pretty common as ive seen lots of room comments that told people not to join it after 6 people are in cause it will lag. i just hope it can get fixed somehow!
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
I've been playing the single player on my third play through all day today, and I get onto dtoid before going to bed to see this. I'll try to be around next week. I've got trickster, runner, monomania and SMG in my skillset.
MaximusPaynicus's Destructoid Blog
T'was fun playin' with you guys.
xMalachi's Destructoid Blog
I got side tracked after Wall E and went to a friends for hookah and beer hehe. I'm gonna try to make it next weekend!
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
i couldn't show up due to penes wetness syndrome, (i love meeting women then....)it's sunday now, i'll be home later to game
Phntmbanana's Destructoid Blog
My psn is Phntmbanana I'd be up for joining if thats still open
