Solid Snake Saturday: Cold Hearted
shipero | 1:47 PM on 07.05.2008 28 comments





It’s Saturday and that means it’s once again time for us Dtoiders to gather for a fun filled night of Headshots, base capturing, and rubber ducky theft. While you’re online you might as well apply for membership in the #1 MGO clan based on a gaming website with a robot for a mascot. Just search for “DESTRUCTOID.COM” and send in your electronic application, if we deem you worthy we’ll let you in. Well, the only real requirements to join are that you have to have access to a PS3 and Metal Gear Online. We’re not picky, we like the Coast Guard of MGO clans.



An update was recently released that added some new gameplay elements. First is a new game type called Team Sneaking. It’s like Rescue Mission but the capturing team has stealth camouflage and non-lethal weapons. I’ve played around with it a bit and it seems like it could be a lot of fun. They also added a Heatshots Only rule set, you only get points from headshot kills and any other kills actually subtracts from your score. Team Sneaking will defiantly be added to the rotation but I’m not too sure about headshot only, I’ll leave that off unless people want it.



We begin at 22:00 (10 PM) EDT. I’ll put up a room called “DToid SSS” in the Rosemary lobby. The room will have a password of “toid” so that we have room for everyone who wants to join us. If you have any map/game mode suggestions that you’d like to see leave them in the comments. Want more Base and less Team Deathmatch? Never want to play Capture again? Just let me know and I’ll start building a more robust rotation.

Also, yojimbo and I will be trying to use the camera to get some interesting shots for the recap. If you want to try your hand at it as well just send us what you got and we’ll put it in the recap.

Quick note on Headsets:
If you're having trouble hearing people you'll want to change all the settings in the option screen to their maximum value. You can fine tune it from there if you like but most people need to keep it high to be able to hear anything.

See you on the battlefield.

According to the strat guide, headshots only has been in since launch. Nonetheless, I have two things to note:

1. This is mostly for Toneman (despite the PM I sent him): My friend, Hellion (MGO ID), applied but hasn't been in yet. He's getting antsy.

2. I'm DEFINITELY down for some Team Sneaking if I'm home tonight. If I miss it, do you and the regular cats wanna play some MGO tomorrow night?

@Wilbo
You can't play MGO cross-continent?

Two options, or you're teasing us, or you really didn't knew.
If you didn't knew. Yeah, it's region locked. Disc based and IP-address based. So no need to create the US account or anything it's useless.

@Takeshi
I really didn't know, I haven't had a chance to play the game round my mates yet. That really sucks, and honestly appears to be pointless. I can't think of any benefit that could come from that.

Palidi's Destructoid Blog
I might not be able to make it tonight, got prior arrangements. Though...I think there will still be a PS3 there...

Anyhow, yeah, Team Sneaking(from my experience in the past 2 days), requires the most teamwork to be successful(on the sneaking side more so than the guards). Here's a tip for the sneaking side. Playing dead hides your weapons(which don't get any stealth treatment at all), and, in maps like Grazny Grad where you can see your breath, hides your breath too.

If I can get online, I'll look you guys up. I suck at the game, but I like it a lot anyway. Hope to see you there.

Oh, and my name on MGO is Whiteboy0869, of course.
grassr00ts's Destructoid Blog
so, i'm still confused with the headsets, once you enable it in the options and turn the volume all the way up, do you need to press antyhing to talk? or is the mic always on like in cod4?

I should be there tonight, unless i spend too long at the bar with family, see you guys later

Hold select, you don't need to keep it held down just have to hold it a couple of seconds and it'll stay on.

@Teta

Just need your character name.
Teta's Destructoid Blog
Tetarean is my character name, stabbing faces is my motto and telling Yojimbo he is an old cunt is my goal.
Reporting for duty SIR!
