message: Should it be mentioned in the expansion pack section that the expansions are named after DNA parts? it fits into the original game series pretty well.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.156.50 (talk) 17:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Back again...cant find any proof that the engine is called S.O.P. That just appears to be a game mechanic not the engine. Hate to take stuff out but it just appears to be wrong. If it is however it should be in the MGS4 page aswell since its the same engine. John.n-irl 13:16, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: When the section talks about enhancing skills, it mentions "tomfoolery".  This may be the name given during the beta, but what exactly would that entail?

thread_title:  Talk Page Edits 

message: I have seen many articles, including this one, incorrectly state the games display resolutions as their native resolutions. Consoles are not like a PC where the resolutions the game renders in changes when you change resolutions. Native resolution would be the resolution in which the game is internally rendered and is fixed. The display resolution would be whatever mode it displays in, after the console upscales or downscales the image appropriately. MGO has a native resolution of 1024x768, to which the closest 16:9 resolutions is known as 665p. It's display resolutions are those listed, plus 1080i and 1080p.

thread_title:  Native resolution 

message: So far I've only been able to find verifiable (and, in fact, unverifiable) sources stating that MGO is language-locked. If someone can verify this otherwise please do WITH A VERIFIABLE SOURCE. A quick French and German google search for copies of MGO brings up only English screenshots. Personally it sounds unlikely to me too but remember: The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth -WP:Verifiability. The existing citation states outright: "If you need to play games with your friends, you must purchase the same language version." -Rushyo (talk) 20:41, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I may be foolish, but in the article it mentions a level three alarm being set off when a person gets close (Stealth Deathmatch) What is this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Random Checkhead (talk • contribs) 03:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Level Three Alarm

message: As it stands right now I feel like this article should be remade from the ground up. There is far too much talk about the gameplay of the game and not enough about the development of MGO and the reception of the game from media outlets.
Personally I think it would be better if the article talked about Metal Gear Online as a WHOLE, starting from the MGS 3 incarnation and working its way through the Portable Ops implementation and finally to MGS4's. Also the article really has to talk about the development of the game, why Kojima was interested in bringing Metal Gear to the online realm, what challenges were faced during the development, et cetera, you know, the crap that is in EVERY video game article.
Finally, the article should talk about the impact of the game, what do people think of MGO? What does the media think about it? This is all really key stuff, not the stuff that's currently in the article talking about specific gameplay nuances.

thread_title:  Reworking of the article 

message: How can there be no criticism for this game? Even people that love it, hate it.
Half the players are glitchers. When you play Survival, at least 3/4 of the players are glitchers, and there is ALWAYS someone using a lagswitch.
The hit ratio is distorted, according to the developers, to "keep the game from becoming a spray-fest". Which basically means if you shoot an enemy in the head on full-auto, at least 3/4 of the bullets will have no effect.
Reporting people for glitching, shooting through walls, or using a lagswitch has NO effect either, even if you include video and screen captures of the offending player.
The experience system is completely retarded. Getting 4 kills and 3 deaths in a round may give you double negative experience, or it may not. There is hardly any consistency. One bad game can cause you to get double negative experience and make you lose your level, and it will literally take you 3 times as long to get the level back.
The automatching system for Survival will generally only put you with a team that has an average level at least 4 levels higher than your teams, which means even on the EXTREMELY rare occasions that the other team isn't glitching and shooting through walls, you still have almost no chance of winning.
Yet the normal autmatching system functions as it should, gathering players that are within a range of your level.
It's honestly one of the most infuriating games ever.
The developers are more concerned with releasing expansions than with banning cheaters, and it ruins the whole experience. The same 4 or 5 teams win survival every week, and no matter how many time my friends and I have reported those teams for using lagswitches, with video, no action is ever taken.
Even if a team over uses a lagswitch and causes YOU to be kicked from the game, you will be penalized and prohibited from logging in for a half hour.
It seems like the whole game is designed to cater to the players that wish to use exploits, and to hell with the rest of us.
Go ahead and search youtube for mgo glitchers. Every single one of those players has been reported, and every single one still plays, and still wins survival.

message: This section seems to have been written by someone who has an agenda about the results of the tournament mentioned in the section. It reads like an accusation rather than a balanced and relevant discussion of the tournament.
