	As you can see, there is an expansion coming for Metal Gear Online called Meme. Hopefully this expansion will fix some of the gaping holes in the game that players have to deal with. It looks like both new maps and characters will be included. Anyone who can translate some, please comment! >Link

Or they can just patch the game's problems instead of charging gamers for it.

They need to fix the logging in. Do away with the stupid Konami network and go through the PSN. Great game, terrible multiplayer experience.

There is no universal PSN gaming server for 3rd party games, just the basic functions of XMB are hosted by sony AFAIK.

3rd parties are expected to provide game servers and have been expected to do so since the ps3 days.

Edit:

I meant the ps2 days. It's one of the reasons why PSN can be free to begin with

But it's up to the developers if they wana join PSN or their own, unlike Live, it's all being force..

Not saying Xbox live sucks but for developers, it's pretty much no choice,

-

The qiestion is, is it still free if the game runs on Playstation Network ? for the developers...? Because I heard the demo is not free for developers.... That's why most of the developers don't release demo for PSN or Xbox Live

-

Look at GTAIV for PC, it was actually works with LIVE, but after complaints, they took it off...

Vae Victus:

I agree, the login sucks! one time i forgot the password, I jsut gave up...

@Xenos

Not sure if you were responding to VaeVictus' comment or just the article in general. I think Vae meant they need to do away with the Konami ID/MGO Game ID login. Every other PS3 online game just uses the PSN for logging in. As far as I know, MGO was the only game to deviate from this standard. It's completely dumb that not only does MGO require you to sign up for a seperate login ID from PSN, but you actually need to sign up for TWO different IDs. A Konami ID and a MGO Game ID. It's like they were going out of their way to make it inconvenient to play their game online. If MGO were a better game, it might be worth the hassle, but it honestly isn't in my opinion. That's OK, because Metal Gear Solid 4 more than makes up for it, but MGO could have made MGS4 a much bigger sales success if they nailed it.

lol source blacktiger?

Also, developers aren't forced to use MS' servers, but they prefer to. The difference between an average 3rd party server and MS' server is pretty obvious. Just play any EA game on the 360 and then play a similar game not using EA's servers. The difference is noticable.

I love it when idiots assume things, it makes me smile. =D

@ madgunde,

Ohhhhh ok. Yeah, I was responding to Victus and I knew about the whole Konami ID fiasco, but I didn't know that MGO bypassed PSN log in completely. Thanks a lot, really, I love learning all I can.

So does this mean that MGO doesn't even use your PSN name at all but instead what you use as your MGO game ID?

@Xenos,

from what i remember from the MGO beta(i have MGS4 but havent played online), the only time you need to use your PSN name to to log into the PSN network to go online. in the game, you access Konami's network with a Konami ID. once in the network, you need an MGO ID as well to play the game.

i could be mistaken cuz that was like 6 months ago lol...

Xenos

sorry they aren't force but they can;t have a third party server, thats what i meant...

Madgunde, I thought the same thing...

MGS4 is the only one game that has 3rd party login,

WHICH IS RETARDED !

@ blacktiger,

If 3rd parties are not able to use their own servers than how come everytime I play an EA game, it specifically states "connecting to EA's servers"??

MMOs, dedicated servers, 3rd party servers are all possible and used right now on the 360. Most publishers would rather MS worry about the cost and management of servers than for them to deal with it. Why do you think we pay $50 a year or Live?

This topic doesn't have anything to do with MS or Live's servers. I was talking to the guys here about MGO and Konami's servers. GTFO with your stupid comments.

GTFO with your stupid comment

lol

relax kid i was gonna say thanks for the comment but apparently your a crack head who can't handle anything
