Friday Night Fights: Metal Gear Online beta edition

Friday Night Fights: Metal Gear Online beta edition screenshot

Who would've guessed it -- the Metal Gear Online beta went live just in time for Friday Night Fights. Talk about timing! I'm excited about it and I don't even own a freakin' PlayStation 3.

For those of you who do own a PS3 (and have access to the MGO beta), however, we've got big plans for you tonight. To fully prepare yourselves, I suggest y'all hit up the game ID thread in the forums, then make sure to read the instructions for joining the Dtoid match after the break.

As for the rest of us unlucky bastards, there'll still be the usual Friday Night Fights shenanigans that we've come to know and love.

[Thanks, Toneman, power-glove, Y0j1mbo, vexed alex, bunnyrabbit2, WTF Joel, and the rest of you beautiful people.]

fnf wii2

Mini-guide for meeting up with Dtoiders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

The IRC way: head on over to this Web site (or start up your own IRC client) and type "/join #dtoid-brawl" without the quotation marks.

The Ventrilo way: download and install Vent. Then use the following info to log onto Dtoid's server:

• IP/Hostname: VOICE-VA2.BRANZONE.COM
• Port: 3790
• Password: None

Once you're in, you'll need to use the password "ftw" to access the Social Lounge.

The 360 way: use your Xbox 360 to chat with people on your friends list. Steam or IM are good alternatives too.

CORRECTION "The password will be dtoid."

IT ISN'T "dtoid" IT'S "toid"

Unicorn at 04/25/2008 19:16

@ qraze.

perhaps only because you lack the skill required to play it.
Grim's Avatar
Grim at 04/25/2008 19:22

You do realize that the part talking about the password is in reference to Pedro's game, right? Because "dtoid" is what was sent to me.

You're probably talking about a completely different match -- unless I'm just terribly ill informed.

I'll be on tonight with the usual, COD4. I haven't played it since downloading the map packs so I'm looking forward to it. People better be on damn it!
brainderailment's Avatar
brainderailment at 04/25/2008 19:32

Maybe lemme check again, it doesn't say what the name of the match is. If it's called "Destructoid" that's not what I found. THX
brainderailment's Avatar
brainderailment at 04/25/2008 19:33

Yeah, checked again, only game is called dtoid, and password is toid.

I am having a great deal of difficulty getting online with the 360. It has something to do with my lame router. Hopefully, I can get it fixed soon.

I guess the beta is region locked, so much for all that. I may get on and make a Destructoid room if there isn't one, password dtoid.

Yay hosting is FUN! Put me down for next week as well.

Also, I may get back on later, because I decided that I wasn't as tired (or drunk) as I thought I may have been.

Something like that.

Hey guys, getting lag and "connection not stable" in MGO like a mad man. About 8 out of 10 servers give me that error, and lag badly as well if there are more then 5 people. I am NAT type 2, any ideas?

Oh and I never have a problem with WarHawk or PSN.

Donno, but most likely its your connection. Cause I've not had ANY issues so far. Not even a little lag.
