Back to hell where you came from MGO2, and take Git Gud back with you!
MGO1 is still the best one.

Ah shoot. Oh well, that's not a big deal at all. Now to find a good looking copy.

Meh, original was better. Still, this is at least leagues ahead of MGO3 so maybe I'll check it out.

Amazing work. My favourite online game of all time. Put at least 1000 hours on it.
The game aged, but it's still gold!

That's awesome.
A couple years ago, I did go to the trouble to setup a PS2 emulator with the proper manipulations to play the snake eater MGO1 iteration on custom servers, and it was really cool to go back to the classic... Bug MGO2 was the real deal, so many memories, such depth and coolness. Arguably my favorite online game in a long time. From the character customisation , to the survival mode, instructor mode, the maps, the tournaments, the singing, the unique characters... Loved it to no end.
The only reason that kept me from using it on ps3 was the custom firmware situation, but if that's fixed, I'll be the first to enlist.
And yes, MGO3 was quite the dissapointement compared ot MGO2 in pretty much all regards.

The only thing I disliked about this is that I wasn't able to host a game and almost everyone else could. Because my router had no UPnP or whatever.
Yes, you have to enable UPnP and forward some ports.
It's a small issue, no worries!
And that's it, you DON'T need a CFW to play MGO2!
It's back on OFW now.

I pray its true, I had probably 2000+ hours in MGO. Team Sneak and Sneaking were my all time favorite modes in a game ever. MGO3 just felt like a half assed attempt to me.
If the community came back and were active I would spend so many hours in it again

Well my router didn't support UPnP so that's that.

Could Sony ban us for this? I'd very much like to go back to MGO2, since MGO3 was a bit of a disappointment (well at launch anyway, didnt try since then) but if my account or my console can be banned I don't think I will :/

It doesn't need CFW to play it. The news is that it can work on OFW now.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Goddamn is this real life o_o
Fucking loved me some MGO2.
Does this mean we have access to all the reward shop bullshit for free???

I'd assume it'd be like the last month or so, where everyone got everything unlocked.
Theoretical: Yes
Because we do have full access to any item in the reward shop at CFW too, so nothing changes with OFW.
With the 1.36 keys they even can change the skills and weapon prices (DPs).

I remember when there was a ranking thing for teams or something. Every team was like "serious players only". I had the only group that said "all player welcome"
So, have they said anything about unlocking everything for all players? That would be a great incentive for people to just jump in and play.

Ever since everything was unlocked from the beginning @ MGO2R, you never had to spend RWDs to get something.
I don't see and think they will change it, there's just no reason
Oh man, how could I forget the instructor mode. Such a creative and awesome mode where you and other players could screw around a bit, take/give orders and train CQC etc.
But yeah, MGO2 really has a lot of charm and features that no other MP have replicated. I just jumped back and some played a couple of hours of MGO3 now and it's just lacking in comparison.

Oh shit yessss.
This is amazing news. I absolutely loved MGO2.
I hope Konami don't interfere with this.

I guess I misread on the second look. My mistake, thanks for clarifying.

If only MGSV had a proper anti-cheat method on PC
I guess no, because there's no real working PS3 Emu on PC.

Oh sweet Jesus
I may make a new psn just for this, just in case.

You don't need to worry!
If you play MGO2, it shows "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patrtiots" as your gametitle and not Metal Gear Online.

Unless you have a cfw ps3 then nothing for now, its not available yet.

I have a stock PS3 fat boy sitting in a closet, how much time/effort will it take to make all this work when available?

How long has it been there? The update to block CFW came in 2011 and there have been no further exploits.
You can do a downgrade, but at that point it becomes a ton of effort as you have to open your PS3 and solder some wires.
No, no, no!
We can play MGO2 on original firmware consoles in april!
Do NOT downgrade or CFW your console, there's no need for it.
