I was never a huge Metal Gear fan, but I definitely have my beta downloaded and patched for Monday.
And was there ever a more fitting screenname as Wretched? Well played, sir.

Lol!
Such a pest... If only we could get that kind of attention for a few other regulars here (mostly of the trolling type).

"Now, one thing that we noticed that was sorely needed was the lack of a run button. This slowed things down considerably, and does become noticeably annoying if you want to get back into the battle quickly after the usual death-respawn."
This. This really pissed me off while I was playing. It was so damn slow. While having the players(and I take this from George Carlin) move like old people fucking may work when you're trying to sneak, when you're trying to evade fire or follow someone it's incredibly annoying when you're running like a slug. Seriously the whole time I was like, "WHY THE FUCK ISN'T THEIR A SPRINT BUTTON!!!??"
Also the aiming felt a bit off for me. But other than that, it was decent. Nothing amazing or eye popping. Just your standard online shooter. But that will be enough for the mgs fanboys I guess.
