- This game is a hidden Gem to me, despite all of its flaws, Great news is you can PLAY IT TODAY!
and the fact this game is being kept alive despite the small dedicated fan base it has, is proof to me, that there is something there.
If your interested in playing the game and joining us.
You can go to the following links, theres two servers currently up, they are technically seperate communities, so keep that in mind
[ IMPORTANT EDIT]

HOW OFTEN DO PEOPLE PLAY?
If your from North America, People tend to get on late at night usually.
so around 7-8 PM EST
I will update for EU if i can get an accurate time.
I am new, is there beginner friendly lobbies?
Ofcourse, every saturday I try and host a beginner friendly lobby for people to join, and if need be, we may have more lobbies up if theres a demand for them.
At the end of the day, I just hope people are able to see why I enjoyed the game so much, and if it means a few people might try it out? then that makes me happy.
If you wanna catch up on my streams of the game, I have my own personal Discord where I announce streams, you can join here. Its a work in progress so bear with me as im figuring out how todo servers

I failed my first semester of college because of playing MGO so much. I never loved a competitive game like I did MGO ever after.
Worth it?
@@GenocidalSquid Considering I changed majors three times before graduating anyways, yeah I'm cool with it.
@@DKZK21 I seek to be this based and balanced- but then again I kinda rely on long-gameplay vids.
You should SEE how I manage my bloody channel approach.
Your love for the game was merely a symptom amigo.. not the disease. Glad it all work out for you in the end
Same here. It was all such a new experience for me. I really couldn't get enough.
The wildest thing I saw in MGO, were a clan that did full on role play. They recruited people on open training lobbies, if I remember correctly, and their leader even hold a speech for recruits, where they were standing in line and their "boss" walked up and down talking about, becoming the toughest unit that MGO ever saw.
This game was really something special!
My favorite memory of combat training as an instructor on MGO2 was telling people to plant bombs on my ghost and then I suicide ran to the nearest opposing player.
Is it still possible for me to enjoy this?
Please tell me they came up with individual names like flying octopus
@@scientificbrony I can't remember their names unfortunately, I think one was called something with Raptor, but that is just a guess.
@@sneedmando186 who knows, maybe it is refreshing checking it out
Metal Gear Online 2 was a gem. I played during the last moments of mgo2, still remember everyone stopping and saluting each other before the servers went quiet.
I had to go to school during that time so i was never able to be on during those final moments.
Going back home that day never felt so empty
I played all the time for years and them last few days was made horrible because of how many people lag switched and glitching the game. My first online game and will always be my number 1
I was there, still brings a tear to my eye seeing all those I once considered my enemy wishing me farewell.
Oh man the end was so sad. Probably the only time I was part of a community all the way until it went away.
if you guys have a pc with a good processor you should definitely hop back in the game it has been reborn and we need all the people we can get to keep the community alive
MGO2 was my first ever online game and it's still the best experience I've ever had.
Mine too, and trying to play other online shooters after this, was a joke to say the least
Yup. Relatively accesible but it was still a complex game
@@sexdrugsrocknroll420 battlefield 3 online was very good.
@@sexdrugsrocknroll420 I tried that as well. Played some Ghost Recon and BF as a substitute. I quickly gave up on those though because they didn't even come close to replacing MGO.
I still can't believe how Konami made such a bad decision to shut it down. Might not be impossible to understand, considering all the issues it had. But the problem was that they didn't support it enough to begin with and that some design choices were bad enough to keep players away.
Had they went with a simple PSN login as every other game and overall supported it better, it would likely have had a far larger community.
More DLC and a better management of the worst players. I believe that people should have a high level of freedom in games. Someone's annoying then vote to kick and add to the block list or whatever. It should take a lot to actually get banned from the game. But, MGO had people who outright cheated and ruined the game for others. That should at least be enough for a temporary ban to act as a warning. Continue the behaviour and you'll get a permanent ban.
I mean look at what they've been doing with the revival version. Adding maps that may or may not feel like great add-ons that belong in the game. How hard would it have been for Konami to do that when they had full access to the files and tools...
The saddest part about MGO is the transition from 2 to 3...they had such a great framework that is still unparalleled (IMO) yet they ignored 90% of what made MGO2 so charming and long-lasting and gave fans a very barebones version of the "tactical espionage action" experience. Kudos to the savemgo team for keeping this absolute gem of a game alive.
I actually was invited to play mgo3 by the team before it came out, might make a video on it someday, but it was definitely hard for that team aswell, especially the community manager taking all the criticism from die hard players.
They were given a bad hand in trying to make mgo more likeable to a western audience while the JP devs already had a specific vision for what mgo was supposed to be making communication difficult, to the point itd take months to go back and forth... My memory is a bit muddied as its been a few years since that event, but i got plenty of stories of conversations i had with the devs
Can you imagine if Konami developed MGO2 into a next gen game. I know I am talking crazy but man that would be amazing. I miss MGO2
@@nlgpro Nah, those days Konami's sole focus is shitting on the license and to make it as smell as they can.
There is no espionage in mgo 2. It's all about headshots within seconds.
@@patek2385 Nah, that's just in gunfights. The fact that body-shots had i-frames on them made headshots the sole focus of straight up shootouts. Only the MK17 was viable for autoaim builds, with Surveyor+ on.
Not everyone who played MGO2 was a headshot addicted crackhead. That skillset was necessary to win against the top teams, usually, but I remember beating top players with CQC/Scan experts and trap enjoyers on my team. The gunfight meta became so braindead that often top players wouldn't box around corners to avoid porn mags, or they'd be busy talking shit on voice-chat while someone with CQC-EX fucks them up (earning extra points for their team, which often would mean victory in SURVIVAL where you'd go 1-1 on rounds and it'd be down to points).
That's the other cool thing about how points worked in MGO2. You could help your team outright demoralize the enemy in TSNE with Scanner and even in RES. Farming the scan points, tranq headshot throwdown, then gun headshot (or if you were a psychopath you'd rob them of their guns, let them wake up, and farm them for points continuously...I did that a few times against players who trash talked me...good times).
Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. MGO2 is my favorite multiplayer game of all time so I can talk about it for days 🤓
I remember making a clan called Camo Ninjas. The focus was using camouflage and map knowledge to become nearly invisible without relying on the Sneak gear that makes you literally invisible. A kid joined and we've been friends since '08. Even took trips across the country together.
Snakes Bro was my moniker.
I feel at one point I knew a guy named SGR SEAN.
I REMEMBER SGR SEAN! i went by pusha106, in DreamCats! good times
I remember how effective Tiger Stripe used to be in tall grass. People would literally run over you.
one of the only games I've played where camouflage really, really worked.
MGO2 was my absolute favorite online game I’ve ever played…I loved the slower more tactical approach to a lot of the modes versus the tiring speed and pace of COD online. The maps were amazing and they’re still tattooed in my brain. When Konami shut down the servers I was super bummed out
yknow its cool you mentioned that, cause from what ive noticed, as more new people show up again, old tactics are resurfacing, only the hardcore Survival type players run and gun, while all the new people i see are bringing back box, non lethal, and cqc only playstyles again, its been refreshing.
What I found really unique was the LEVEL, GRADE POINTS, and REWARD system. Usually in multiplayer games you just rank up, and thats it until you reach the end. In MGO2 you had to keep your LVL and GP points playing good constantly, specially in SURVIVAL and TOURNAMENT modes. So you had this constant ''responsability'' to keep improving yourself and doing teamwork in order to win. Never felt this feeling of competition in any other multiplayer game.
Also the level design, game modes, outfit system, graphics, chat in game, voice in game to comunicate, was amazing.
Worst part? Toxic community and glitchers who ruined the game and its gaming experience.
The level and gp i felt was a double edge sword that led to the toxic community.
Cause the level system on paper is interesting, but it also is very strict making you not want to play with anyone lower level or else you get penalized even if your doing well.
@@sgr_sean thats true. But thats what kept me playing non stop, that feeling of competition. In the other hand I could just play for fun on free roam games and I would only lose lvl but not gp. My guilty pleasure was Stealth Death Match, such a fun and underrated game mode from MGO lol
@@shopo6847 Join my SDM hosts at MGO2PC!
@@sgr_sean many games have a similar ranking system that without it would not be popular today(rocket league, leagues, etc). I would argue inclusion of keyboard typing helped toxicity the most whilst allowing teamwork.
Got to understand the competitive and casual side of the community to see the true value/potential in this game.
There's a reason that competitive "pro" players (whilst getting mocked by "casuals") play this game competitively /religiously and enjoy maybe the same amount or more than you do SNE. Don't ever forget or devalue those players as well :).
There is true value at all fronts.
@@dormanthero yeah there are games that have it, but they keep casual and ranked seperated, in mgo2 all you could do was host non stat games, but good luck joining actual games after that cause they wouldnt let you through the door since they were level locked.
Point is if GP was all there was with survival it would be more tolerable.
If matchmaking was less reliant on having a pre built team, itd be more fun to get into.
Cause all games that have similar ranking systems arent as strict about how to participate as mgo was, and gives less opportunity for gatekeeping.
God, the countless hours and hours I spent on MGO2. It was a masterpiece imo
I was gutted when the servers went offline. It has the best multiplayer modes for an online game I've played to this day. There was so much flexibility in the play styles too so you could do a lot of fun stuff to keep things fresh. Not to mention all the Machinimas people were making back then. So many memories...
The mode where you play as Snake was sick
just wait a few more years, someone will revive the servers, hell look at the granturismo 4 community
sounds like they did restart the servers, check the description of this video, apparently there were 2 servers, and they are now merging.
@@thatslegit the servers for MGO2 and 1 have been revived for years tho
@@thatslegit your comment aged like wine bro, we won
TSNE is truly one of the best and most unique modes in any game
that and Stealth Deathmatch were some of my favourite, most intense game modes ever.
I don't have the patience for not respawning, so I could never get into it.
Literally the best part of my teenage years. Playing survival 2 days a weeks and tournaments to win the rare berets. Trying to beat the Lvl 18 AA+ squads. Miss it so much.
MGO2 was most enjoyable when most of the players in the match had diverse loadouts. Some people would focus on CQC, some would snipe, some would run and gun, etc. I think the time when MGO2's player experience really devolved was when 90%+ of the players in a match would have a loadout of AR2 + RUNNER2 with AK102s and M4s. All the variety seemed to disappear when most of the remaining playerbase figured out that assault rifles were the dominant gun type in the game.
nahh i always had a shotty and just ambushed players, playing like an actual stealth game, man i miss this game so muchhhh
@@aliatef7203 How often did you play, and when did you play? Early to mid life MGO2 (2008-2010 I guess), had a lot of player loadout variety. I vividly remember players using skills like CQC 3 + SCANNER, SNIPER + MONOMANIA + QUARTERBACK, SHOTGUN/SMG + RUNNER, etc.
But in late life MGO2, almost all the tryhards ran AR2 + RUNNER2, or some combination of it. Assault rifles just outclassed every other weapon in the game. Every now and then someone like you went against the meta with shottys, but you can bet that more than half of the players on the lobby were spraying with M4s and AK102s.
@@spiidey1 i used to play around 2010 ish so yh I probably missed when everybody was going with the meta, but tbh I think the game is so fun that losing a couple games to overpowered load outs wouldn't bother me, and those catapults maaaan the game is one of a kind
as they should be cause it's an assault rifle lol
I was killer with the M870 Custom, to the point I would piss off other players and they'd switch to it to see if that was the trick to killing me. It wasn't, I was just for some reason unable to kill with any other weapon.
MGO was literally the most fun I ever had playing multiplayer. Sunk so many hours into it.
Let me just say this, if you didn’t play Metal Gear Solid 4 Online, you missed out, it was spectacular
U can still play to this day on PC and ps3
@@orcuser yeah but it just doesnt feel the same somehow
@@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH facts, only mega-serious players online. You'll get killed before you even see anyone. Back in the day it was casual, so it was a beautiful experience to pretty much anyone
I blew an entire summer break on this game's multiplayer when I was a kid. Too good.
I've played so many online games that have died. MGO/MGO2, MAG, and SOCOM were amazing back in the day.
I would KILL to have this game remastered for every new console gen!!
GESUS - This game is just packed full of content!
To be honest MGS4 is one game I can see a remastery only being a downgrade to the graphics. It was insane even to todays standards.
My first online game ever. I have met my best friends, on MGO2. Played for years; met a lot of people, some friendly some not. Many toxic players, many cheaters, but I still loved the game more than everything. I remember those years like the best years of my life, even if I was just a teen; definitely easier times. This videos makes me remember a lot of distant memories I thought I lost. Thanks a lot.
Excellent video, Sean!!
Really hope I'm able to play MGO2 one day when I fix my setup.
It seems fun as hell.
looking forward to it man, your welcome to join me in my lobbies or streams if you wanna watch, i currently stream every time i play, so its usually 8PM EST, and then on saturdays i host casual lobbies at 7 pm EST
I feel like mgo2 pc has given this game a bit of a revival so it really needed an extensive overview like this, and for that I thank you.
Nice! Now, I can finally share a YT link to those who have never played MGO2 before and that I'm always luring to join such beautiful online game but, I always get the wrong pitch... With this, that's over and for sure, the right pitch that I believe will bring more old/new players to experience a unique-high-quality-competitive-best-of-all-time multi-player game. Thanks for creating, posting and sharing! Good job!
Im glad you think this is the right pitch!
I wanted to share with people just why i find the game unique, and good despite the flaws it has, and the fact the game is being worked on and potentially improved had me excited to share it all.
by the way, MGO IS PLAYABLE

Im glad alot of people have enjoyed this video.
To those subscribing I appreciate you.
I dont exactly make content regularly but i do have a few metal gear related videos im planning aswell as mgo.
I just have alot more personal projects i need to finish first. I aint a full blown content creator so i hope you guys can bare with me until i can get time to make the next video.
Thanks again for watching
Do ya thang! Loved this video.
Omg I didn't know this, I'll try to download it asap
Been playing it again! Love it
Pretty sure you can still get into Online Matches in MGO2
@@MaceOfSpades5 am i giving the impression that i got all the gameplay footage from back in 2008 or something hahaha
Yes theres an active community keeping the game alive mentioned near the end of the video
17:05 what did vamp just say?🤨
Maaan, this game impacted me in my childhood and left an impression since then; the Metal Gear series in general stuck with me!
And now It's back and banging, just like the old days. I feel like an old fox when I play.
I remember running around with CQC and a non-lethal loadout and I'd just knock people out, steal their guns and hide. The fact that I still managed to get top scores occasionally is something no other game lets you do.
Haha theres a guy on this video called Search and Rescue that pretty much has never killed anyone ever since they made their character.
Idk how they stick to it as hard as they do but they never ever kill.
My favourite genre of TH-cam video is people passionately talking about a very obscure game they like
Great vid. Love how you really described the overall feel to this game and why many of us still have an attachment to it.
Yo, this video is something else! Very well made and needed. You deserved my sub
I about teared up when they started singing, a wave of lost memories came crashing down. So many hours of pure fun and intense fighting, those maps are burned in my memory every vent, peeking spot, and hidey hole. Remember everyone running around with the Patriot on MM in a TDM match as the servers went down and was forced to say goodbye. MGO2 was in a league of its own and its great to see the community still holds it close even after all this time
Really well made, good vid!
I loved how everyone could sing or hum the song together!
Dude i just found videos of whole teams assembling a choir and singing...made me emotional not gonna lie...makes me wish i played this game back in 08...thanks for the video
i wish current games have this kind of opportunities bonding with teammates
In 2008 I got to the European top rank until Yulia Beckham came along with her/his boosting accounts. I was one of the first people to get the FoxHound title, but on the first updates it was pretty easy to get. I also was one of the first to actually use the cqc properly (take-down, aim down stun/kill) I remember people would call me the true big boss, until many other people figured out how to it, it became standard. This game was amazing, it had everything you could think of. The maps where also amazingly designed. Every place on the map had a counter point to prevent campers... Too bad the new MGO doesn't even come close it.
i played this game online for a few weeks when i was a kid, i remember the richochet effect on ocelots revolver. you could guard ladders by shooting across at the wall opposite the ladder, no one could get to you.
MGO2 was my favourite, I played it all the time! I was so happy when it was revived and it’s still so much fun and am happy we could all enjoy it together again! Great vid, man, keep the MGO2 vids coming!
Couldn't agree more!
I'll never forget, one summer I was playing a very tough match and at the very end we had one by a hair, but everyone was a really good sport about it and we all did the song and it triggered the mini event. it was really emotional lol
Man this was a nice nostalgia trip.
I remember playing with this one dude named snowman (can’t remember the numbers) and how after a month or so of not playing together, he saw how i got a lot better and was happy for that.
Met cool people in the training servers too.
MGO2 was full of cool people man. I remember the last day everyone was taking group pictures together. I lost the data before I got a change to backup my photos =(
Dude being able to go into cqc when you and your opponent ran out I’ve ammo and get into a knife fight and after getting knocked off of a ledge just to climb back and continue fighting made this so fun and interesting
The memories! God almighty, great video man. What a nostalgia trip. Y'all have a good day.
I loved and hated this game at the same time! So many fantastic memories from these times, but as you said the community got extremely toxic haha and at somepoint I kinda lost interest partly because of that.
MGO and GTA4 was my entry in the amazing world that is online gaming. This was my 13-14 year old life. The memories are fond. Wish I could go back to that first day setting up my PS account and start playing MGO. Still remember it like yesterday.
There can only be one Boss and one Snake.
The one who survives will carry on the name of Boss and face a life of endless battle.
Thanks for making this, Sean. I can really tell how much you love this game & your passion for it is awesome! Honestly, I’d never even played MGO & hadn’t ever seen gameplay, so this was all pretty awesome to see!
I really love gaming & the memories that it’s given so many of us. Tons of friends made & new people met over the years. Metal Gear wasn’t the reason why I ended up in KCODE (PES was, haha), but I’m always blown away by how many of you guys love the series. It’s been an honor to join ya. Maybe we’ll even get some games in on MGO at some point! Much love, dude & great job on the video! I really did enjoy it 😄💪🏾
Appreciate it Mic, thanks for the comment
MGO and Assassin's Creed multiplayer are just so damn good. Splinter Cell got a stellar spiritual successor with Intruder on PC, but Assassin's Creed and MGO have never had any worthy followups imo. Really glad that MGO2 is still playable!
I miss the good old days of MGO2
Great video, what a blast from the past. Loved this multiplayer, one of the first games I played online with my ps3.
This was the first mulitplayer experience I ever had in a game, and it will always have a special place in my heart! I sunk so many hours into it and made friends that I still have to this day.
For me at least 2012 was when Konami started going downhill. Shutting down such a great game, created by a devoted team. This isn't the kind of online game they just throw together for a quick buck, such as most shooters. Just throw together some maps and some standard modes and some shallow options and some barebones customization. MGO was made to be truly fun. The team went the extra mile to make sure of that. Then Konami all of a sudden decide to piss on it, saying they shut it down because there's a new MGO coming. That was technically true, but it came out three years later and it wasn't remotely as good!
Mgo2 was ment to last atleast 10 years, it lasted 4 thanks to the community, loving the game as much as they did.
In my ideal world konami wouldve taken the hint and try to recreate mgs4 and fix the code issues that version of the game has, and try to get a smoother online experience using that system.
Instead of just repackaging it as Metal Gear Arcade like they ended up doing.
The SaveMGO guys are trying their best to reverse engineer the game, but theres only so much a handful of guys can do while doing this stuff in their free time.
Especially for a game that doesnt have many active players.
@@sgr_sean Where did you hear it was meant to last 10+ years?
@@DanSmeed its hard to find a source for that now adays as the websites that had all that stuff went down, but back then it was commonly known the initial plan for mgo was for it to last 10 years, several community members know it to be true aswell.
I dont remember if it was said in interviews, or from blog posts, or even the community support page, i just remember hearing that the plan for mgo was ment to be that.
I also know that mgo2 was made with all the content that was sold as dlc all before launch, and that it was all done intentionally because to them mgo was ment to be a larger service that would continue to expand and the 5 maps people got access to was ment to be the starter package
And while mgo2 made plenty of money, it didnt do as good as konami wanted and well the rest is history.
Yeah... I remember playing a lot of this back in the day. The customization really sucked me in, didn't even care about people flaunting crimson or white gear (they were the most expensive color options). My connection lagged a lot, a fair amount of the lobbies were toxic, grinding up gear points was a hassle, but it was worth it. MGO2 was special.
Ayy MGO2 vet here! Glad to see it getting traction again! I played from opening to game close.. This still is and always will be my favorite game and in my opinion the best game ever! This game kept me up for nights when i should be sleeping for school. Nothing can beat this game. And for anyone wondering what the best Codec is? Male voice H "Sup!" Lmao
looking at all this has inspired me to try this for myself, thank you!
I miss this a lot. Had some good times here, was the last time I ever got close to people on a multi player game.
Another thing is reward point customization from playing competitive game modes, you can instantly tell who is good at the game by looking at their character
yeah i forgot to mention how reward points were earned, i just mentioned the shop though
I loved MGO.
Uncharted 2 also had an underrated multiplayer experience.
Ah, fond memories. I ran Blade-master +3, CQC +1 (shark emblem), or whatever it was called. It's cool to think all of us reminiscing about this game likely played with each other at some point all those years ago. Good times, great vid.
This game took tea-bagging to the next level... it was so much fun.
If you tranq'd someone they just had to sit there waiting for you to finish them, or furiously waggling their stick hoping they could wake up.
.. meanwhile instead of regular teabagging you could crouch and 360 spin your arse on their face ahahahah.
or pick them up for the drag animation but tap the stick so it looked like you were humping them. I got banned from a pure CQC server for doing that.
good times man xD
Mag looping hahaah
I played this game when I was 12-14. I used to love all video games but I became properly addicted to this. That 2011 PSN outage was like eternity to me, and when the game closed it left a massive massive void. No game ever came close in terms of gameplay, and the clan system/chat system/relatively small player base, created this wonderful little community of people who I'm sure, loved the game just as much as I did. It was also extremely toxic as was online gaming at the time, and that made it all the more fun!
Literally all I could think about was survival, and if I had a bad survival it would ruin my day the next day, whereas if I did well I'd feel great. The game was so immersive and competitive that I genuinley felt more rewarded and satisfied for playing well, than doing well in any real life exams or getting any degrees.
it wasn't just a video game, it was a sort of thrilling virtual experience.
I basically stopped gaming afterwards. as no game has ever or will ever come close to this.
This game made my childhood, and singlehandedly made it the best period of my life. It really was just THAT good.
Great video, really wish the community was a little bigger to get in some games. but none the less I'm happy you guys brought this back
the more people see this video hopefully the more decide to give it a chance, the community has grown significantly since this video was made, at the very least, not to huge numbers, but theres way more consistent players now adays
literally my favorite game of all time. I miss it so much, I used to play the tournaments with my dad every weekend.
I was watching this having regretted not being able to get into MGO2. Now I can thank you for this.
The amount of customization was amazing on MGO2. There was a made up mode that snipers used to play. We called it "base sniping". Had a blast playing tnse!
18:55 Sneaking in such a sick play at like it's nothing
I love how passionate you are for this series I never played MGO but it looks so fun thanks for letting us experience this through your video I hope the Snake Eater remake revives this amazing series
The fob missions from 5 were rad, metal gear in a multiplayer context is a wonderful idea I wish I had known about this
I literally melted my first PS3 playing MGO. Played so much all the heat caused the internals to break apart. Good times!
Oh damn I didn’t know you had a boomin TH-cam channel. Sick man! Fun going back thru memory lane a little! Great video
Great mgo2 quotes “prepare to fire main gun” “bang” “say goodnight” “no time for tears, we’re all as good as dead anyway” sees porno mag “oh ho, yeah”
The in-game tournaments were also incredible. No other game had anything like it in 2008. Also the goofy ranks - BEING THE RAT for getting into lots of traps…:) really amazing game - not soulless like the modern games
It's weird. MGO is one of those game I always forget playing when I actually played ALOT of it and was pretty damn good at it. Haven't thought about it for years but then I came across this video. Good times!
Thank you, Sean, for giving me a great reminder of the good times of MGO.
Great editing and well done review.
MGO2 was the first online gaming experience i got involved with as a young teen. This video brought back so many great memories. miss playing it so much
good thing is the game is pretty much active still, and can be played on pc, or on ps3 if you still have one lying around, the community is better id say, though there still a few people stuck in the old toxic ways unfortunately.
@@sgr_sean would be keen to put the effort in to set up my ps3 again but I think my connection would be garbage. Live in Western Australia
@@TheHoganman95 theres people from all types of regions playing so im sure theres people that can play with you.
NA, EU, JP , KSA seems to be the most active right now tho
Lost so many hours to this back in the day, custom "hide and seek" games were a lot of fun.
I remember grinding to always keep my doberman shirt, Getting A+, and the heavy grind for that pink beret andf 50,000 for the skull face paint! This game hits me on the whole different level... It's never been evenly matched by people who actually played the game back in the day.. What an era to be apart of.
I love seeing ppl still making content.
MGO was so damn neat, i remember playing WoW and MGO2 all the time back in 09.
I never even knew that Snake mode existed back when I played MGO2. That's straight genius and the type of creativity modern shooters need to implement in their game modes.
I loved MGO2. It was my favorite multiplayer experience on the PS3. The skill gap was huge but fair. Miss it so much.
Back then sneaking mission was probably played a bit less because not many people actually wanted to play snake cause you didnt get xp for it, so winning and being good as snake was for your own enjoyment and not much else.
These days with the revival server it sorta rekindled my love for it, because im mainly playing for fun and not competitive, so being a good snake is alot of fun when you get the hang of it.
Awesome video! I may pick this up in a month or so when I have some free time :)
Totally forgot about this chapter of my life. Thank you.
I skipped high school for MGO1. I hid in my closet till my parents thought I left for the bus
Loved MGO2. Made lifelong friends I still talk to to this day since the World Championship. Got to go to Tokyo because of this game. MGO3 was a let down but I will always be grateful for the experience
Dude damn😭😭😭😭
@@ghostwhencodghosts9114 lol
I used to do a lot of CQC technique development since the game came out and was one of the people who proliferated its use among players of high or low level.
If you remember the player Cd7up, I'm the same guy.
How did you like my cqc clips?
I loved this game so much, literally played it for years. Thanks for the memory jarring!
I just want to say I remember spending so many hours playing this game when I first got MGS4 on PS3 back in the day. So many fond memories playing the different modes and playing as the different characters.
Now that I know you can play on PC I will probably be logging in quite a bit to keep the game alive.
Man I wish more videogames where fun and so rich with content like this.
If the game wasnt so laggy, and had issues with its own community, it really wouldve been played more.
But the SaveMGO guys are really working hard to figure out these problems and eventually fix them, its just going to take alot of time cause they dont have the source code
stealth is good, i tried it, it was good, i hid in boxes, camoed in grass , hell camoed in the middle of a dessert road with kakhi camo , disarmed knocked down enemies so they have to eather die or run back to spawn to get weapons, hid in shadows, used the Sop tracker bullet. just wish i could change camo between levels.
You can set preset outfits but its only a max of 3, i use 3 types of camo that works well to divide between the maps, wish i could have a preset for each map though.
This is the online game I´ve played the most in my life, it was so good and never got boring I would join CQC only games and stay there for literal hours, there were chill rooms where you would only enter to mess around and chat with other people, I remember the game would tell me to take a break when I had played 10hours nonstop... No other game has felt like that for me, and I miss is so much :(
boxeater here, nice sne rooms, you're pretty good
I'm glad I found the PC version I can play of mgo2 (tried the ps3 way and, the lack of people combined with the mentality of the people that were there, made me give up and dip)
I played this game religiously everyday for 3 years straight until it shut-down in 2012, first console game I played online, and even today with all other options out there I consider it the best, if I didn't have friends that I played other games with this would still be the only game I bother with.
But man I remember when I first started in 2009, win or lose, I had a lot of fun, then I started to understand the game, and got pissed off at it A LOT,
I've screamed,swore and broken the most things from this game.
Yeah I was an angsty teen at the time. but what I didnt understand yet was that. I played causally, but I had a massive subconscious Ego.
to put simply, I enjoyed unorthodox gameplay, completely stupid, impractical things that made people laugh and or be in awe because it was unexpected. But then I started to get good at dumbass tech that literally only I cared about because it was cool or funny. and I tried to make that work and wow people 'all the time' it became my personal shtick. so when I would get destroyed because obviously the player who box pops while aiming his camera at heads is going to get kills and win and shut me down from doing anything. It would make me rage so hard as if I was being insulted.
"I could play that way too! but that isn't *FUN* it's not *metal gear*, you're just a cod player pos"
I cared so much more and quirks and memes that I sort of resented people that played the game competitively just because *I* didn't find that fun.
knowing all that now makes taking losses easier even in other games. Now when I see some headshot ar2 run2 guy who is super oppressive, I just shrug, go ugghh, and take a break.
Playing now after all these years I still try the funnies, but i'm just old and not 'all up in it' anymore. It's kinda frustrating actually because I spent so much time on the game that I really feel like I should still be good from muscle memory, but I've only got a ps4 controller to use now which you'd think is better than a ps3 one but it doesn't translate as well for aim shoulder button taps.
I also forgot to ask, since SNE was your favorite, did you play in yabbaddizzil's sneak room? he had it hosted everyday from around 3pm to 11pm (central) that was the room me and others found themselves in a lot and we became 'regular's' and formed a clan several years after playing together for a long time.
towards the end there was a LOT of drama, probably instigated by me no less being a stupid teenager.
Hey lad.
Im with you when it comes to getting angry at the game, my playstyle hasnt changed much since then ive always sorta had a hybrid style, i can run and gun, but i tend to try and sneak around more than anything, maybe not sneak and cqc like some people, but have a adapative approach.
But yeah did i rage and care about my level back then, hell i even boosted because i thought keeping that level was that important. Eventually though i crippled my main character by getting 99 consecutive kills and consecutive headshots thinking people would think i was good .
That backfired and was kept from joining clans and teams, i never did delete that character though and stuck with it till the end proving myself without any of that stuff to rely on.
Funny enough back when it was active i was more of a tsne player than i was sne.
Idk what it is now that im not as interested in tsne, but ive been thinking of getting back into it
MGO2 was my all-time favorite online game back when it was still running. Remember trying to lvl up my CQC to unlock CQC-EX.
Also not to mention seeing some new rookie player joining a chat-mode full with high level players and getting choke the f*ck out constantly. Not being able to move nor chat. The community wasn't all that great at times.
box 3 was legendary
Nothing has ever topped MGO. The clans, the rivalries, the trash talk, the community!
Hey Sean! PSN friend here, glad to see you here on YT. Awesome video too!
SGR SEAN you are a legend. i’ve ran into you before in MGO2… you’re pretty good
i miss the gear points and how everyone had to grind and do well in matches to get points to spend on camos and clothes. no game felt so worth the time spent.
and i love what the SaveMGO team has done, it’s tremendous
This video was insanely high quality, I was shocked to see you only have about 700 subscribers at the time of seeing this. I've had this video in my tab list for a while but it's actually insane how in-depth your analysis of MGO2 is. I've played through all the MGS games, but never had the chance to play any of the multiplayer as they are mostly shut down but I'm 100% gonna boot up MGO2 and play it on my ps3 i bought just to play the whole MGS series haha. Keep making awesome content man B^)
Appreciate it man, i will! These videos take alot of time to make so im glad people like them
I'm glad youtube is showing me smaller channels in my recommendeds, great video!
Thank you, hopefully when im able too again the next videos i got in mind will be just as good.
Hurricane fiona devastated puerto rico so i cannot do much atm.
this was so fun actually. I remember it taking forever to sign up for though
I'm so thankful you made this video about mgo 2
Im thankful people have been enjoying it.
I want to maybe do a few mgo related videos when im able too, work and personal projects are currently needing to be done tho
11:01
That spot was where I loved to defend on team sneaking. My most memorable game was when we grabbed the invisible guy and jammed him with scanner 3, then let him live. He eventually woke up, rejoined his team, and spread his SoP so our team was able to see everyone on the sneaking team.
Awesome video, mate. Love the mention of MPO & MPO+ - my first "MGO"
Yeah it was mine aswell
This is the first time I heard of this. It sounds like a blast to play and I hope you make more of these videos.
