Metal Gear Online Beta: DELAYED! DATE-TBA.
Posted: April 21, 2008 - 2:01 am by markdelete

Before it even started it was over. Countless MGS fans have wasted loads of hours trying sign up for an incredibly useless Konami ID followed by a Game ID needed to log into the MGO Beta. Just to find out that the server is not even remotely close to ready for play. I didn't plan to have 8 hours of my life wasted, Konami/Kojima, waiting on you guys just to pull the plug & hand out a TBA start date. If that date even comes.

Glad you guys had a clue about this merely seconds before flipping the ON switch. It is totally understandable that you couldn't expect millions of adoring fans would be knocking on your door all at once. I mean, come on. Thats just a pure insanity, no one wants to play Metal Gear that bad.

Thankfully our lovely Metal Gear fans over in Japan have their servers up. Once again showing who really matters in the eyes of Konami/Kojima. So looks like we are all stuck collectively with our thumbs up our rears.

IMPORTANT NOTICE for all METAL GEAR ONLINE PREMIERE BETA players We would like to thank all players for their keen interest in taking part in the beta test. However, we regret to inform you that due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been unable to run the service to the level we expected. As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to stabilize our server. We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused. We would like to add that due to the above reasons, we will be making the following changes to the schedule: 1) Starting date: TBA. We will be making another announcement on 22/4/2008 23:00(PDT) 2) Beta Test closure: This will now be on 11/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT) rather than 06/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT)

Not like it really matters.. Konami will just drop support for the full version 3 months after release anyways....

Oh Konami... you have such a sick and twisted sense of humor.

You dirty slut.
First you tease gamers with your goods to the point of ejaculation, then you "tee-hee" and run out of the room.
lol WTF?
