Now re-scheduled to go 'live' at 8.00am on 26th April. Although Konami have also stated "This might change due to unforseen circumstances".
Knobs !!
Should take a look at Halo 3 and the way it works on the servers - not a minutes problem from day one !!

Roughly Translated
"We now realise that the 4 Pentium 286's we'd originally allocated to deal with the traffic may not be enough, and we've sent Dave from accounts to PC World to buy a small business server."

All online gaming from time immemorial is based on getting the maximum bandwidth through the minimal amount of hardware, which means that even the most basic of testing ends up frying the system.
Fucking nips - they hate having to buy the big Xeon blade racks that are required to do this properly so they cobble their own "solution" together, which monumentally fucks up.

Lets hope when MGS4 is released, it wont be as big a let down as Halo 3 was!!! I have all 3 consoles, and I have to say at the moment there are no real Xbox 360 exclusive titles that I am particularly looking forward to

Lets hope when MGS4 is released, it wont be as big a let down as Halo 3 was!!! that just personal mate as it broke every gaming record? Even overtook the biggest box office movie for money generated. Most users online, Most sales recorded, Most money taken. Yeh, it was shit !! I'm also not looking forward to the extra GTA content, Gears of War 2 etc

Halo 3 holds the record for the highest grossing opening day in entertainment history, bringing in US$170 million in its first 24 hours, going on to gross US$300 million in its first week. More than one million people played Halo 3 on Xbox Live in the first twenty hours. As of January 3, 2008, Halo 3 has sold 8.1 million copies, and was the best-selling video game of 2007.
Fuckin shit game !!

So you honestly weren't even the slightest bit disappointed with Halo 3?
GTA not an Xbox exclusive game (some extras may be), gears of war 2 will be ace, but that's one game you mention!
P.S. Dee. You said on another thread you are a Clayton lad, given the name, are you from Dee Lane?
Edit: Just because it sold shed loads of copies doesn't mean it was not dissapointing, just more people let down

no mate not from Dee lane but am from Claytonville.
and no, I personally think Halo 3 is awesome, and carries on being with the new maps etc. I rate it better than COD4. Just my opinion.
"gears of war 2 is just one game" - you said you couldnt think of any! "GTA not an exclusive 360 game" - never said it was, but the downloadable missions that Microsoft have paid a shed load for, are !

Maybe I was expecting too much from Halo 3, but I along with my mates felt a bit let down by it. Now gears of war, that was a game and a half can't wait for the sequal and Resistance 2 on PS3 aswell.
Dee - Did you go Clayton High? If so could have been there at same time or I may have even taught you, if as I suspect you are younger than me!!

is it any good mate? worth playing? how long does the *ahem new update take?

Post by hippa_potter_muss on Apr 25, 2008 21:07:34 GMT
I'd say it's worth it considering I'm a Metal Gear bummer and it's free, it's decent thought and the controls are a lot different to the old games, the update took about 3 mins on a 1.5 mb connection.
