IGN: Some MGO Beta Keys Invalid?

Earlier today, IGN posted a quick news piece regarding the availability of the Metal Gear Online beta. Originally scheduled for download on April 17th, the file for the beta and its update are currently available. While it wasn't possible to create Konami IDs because the portal and website are down, it appears that there's a much larger problem – some beta key owners don't have a full key to acquire the beta files.

thats why i stayed with 360 and did not get a unstable PS3

kornbeaner6628d ago

Why do you care, since your precious system will never, ever have this game.

will116628d ago

dont cry, please, we have in game chat and messaging, sony is still years behind xbox

SIX6628d ago

I'm one of them. I've emailed the help support and apparently they have been really good at helping others with the same problem. The code that I have has only 9 digits. It should have 12. Hopefully tomorrow they will send me a working key.

This isn't a PS3 issue, it's a Konami issue.

juuken6628d ago

Will, what a way to bash the PS3. It's Konami, NOT Sony.

Skerj6628d ago

Besides IIRC correctly (and I so do because I was a part of it) didn't the last beta on the other system have glaring problems in the first 3 days like say oh NOT being able to play it because of the servers crashed? Ok then carry on folks.

egm_hiphopgamer6628d ago

was up you guys listen the same thing happened to me but then i did the letters in capitals and it worked so make sure you turn the letters into capitols just like it is on your beta paper ok you push R2 to switch the letters so that they can be in all capitals

jwatt6628d ago

This is why they gave everyone an extra week to download the beta before it actually begins. There is always going to be some kind of issue, slow downloads, broken keys etc. Plus it's Konami, I think this is thier biggest online project yet.

Before you go claiming it's a psn problem, it can happens on live too. The people who pre-ordered Crackdown Remember the difficulty they had getting into the Halo beta.

i also had a 9 digit voucher that didn't work
i emailed konami this morning and got a new code from them just after noon.

man the good thing about the "unstable" PS3 is that we don't have what you 360 fans call "The Ring of Death"!!!!!!!!!! we also get free online service. Ya, the server may act up a bit, but hey that's technology for yay buddy! and why you commenting on this? if you don't have a ps3 why are you looking up MGS4? i believe that is PS3 ONLY right there. your just an microsoft fanboy who riots on ps3 forums and stuff, shouting how great 360 is.

will116628d ago

RROD is a hoax put out by sony to increase sales...dumbass

jwatt6628d ago

I actually thought some people were exaggerating about the 360's failure issues until my friend and I had our 360s brake on us.

Obama6628d ago

So MS extended the warranty to 3 years all because of a hoax, what a smartass will11 is.

Sugaruby336628d ago

when i pre-ordered my special edition from gamestop i got my code which only had 9 digits. i then went to my account management, then to PS promotional codes and entered it in, the space has only room for 9 digits, i got the MGO beta option to download and i did, and is already installed on my ps3. so i don't know what the commotion is about.

Sugaruby336628d ago

im sorry your right there are 12 digits on my promo code

i feel dumb

i thought there were 3 sections with only 3 # in each section

Sugaruby336628d ago

whatever man, you have your opinions and i have mine, so just stay out of the MGS4 & MGO forums and news ok, microsoft-boy

Online services for MGSV:TPP (Xbox 360, PS3) and GZ (Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4) to be terminated

Konami has shared an announcement on the official Metal Gear portal site stating that the online services for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be terminated on May 31st of 2022. This only affects the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Both MGSV itself and its multiplayer component Metal Gear Online will be shut down on that date. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will also lose its network service on the same date, but this time it also affects the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy1743d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head1743d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck1743d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief36241743d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon1743d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

GhostofHorizon1743d ago

Well... that's unfortunate.

Dark_Overlord1743d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK211743d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex1743d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK211743d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1795d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1795d ago (Edited 1795d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot3179d ago (Edited 3179d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19823179d ago

Shame i would have it but the online in mgo3 is boring as fuck.

BlaqMagiq13178d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
