The MGO2R Servers are now up for those are official firmware PS3 systems. Here is how to do it

I personally might go out and get a cheap PS3 and MGS4 just to play this again, imo it was a MUCH better online Metal Gear than what we got with MGSV and it is really cool that the team worked hard to make it work on non-CFW PS3 systems.

 

[AAMARMO]

WEW.

Subbing to do this later. The GOAT returns.

 

[Telephone Man]

Didn't know it was even available with CFW.

Like how much people are even playing it?

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Let's go.

You could add to the number of people playing it


Also if the PS3 emulator ends up being able to run this someday...whew

(A PS3 + MGS4 should only run me like $70max right?)

 

[JayEH]

Cool I'll try it tomorrow.

 

[Baron Von Beans]

This is my second most played mode, game, whatever...I absolutely loved MGO2! I couldn't quite get in to MGO3 as much. I'll definitely be trying this. Can't freaking wait. Thanks for posting

 

[Pie and Beans]

Very interested by this but the "you will lose 99% of data on your PS3" step kinda makes this a no-go for me as I still have other stuff to play on it :/

 

[sixteen-bit]

I don't play but it's cool to see a passionate community come through like this.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Apparently peak with CFW systems was hitting around 500 with 20+ servers

 

[RRockman]

YUS. thanks man will look into this later.

 

[Jimnymebob]

I'd love to play this again, and it's great that they've achieved this, but I'm not turning my PS3 into a dedicated MGO machine, especially since the player count won't be high (it was never that high on the original anyway).

But still, I'd any old, or even new players, jump into it, have fun!

Damn. Can people without CFW play with those who have it?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Everyone should be able to play with everyone

Nice. Watching a stream of it now. Looks pretty active. Gotta get an old copy of MGS4 again.

I am going to see if I can borrow a friends PS3 that they don't care about anymore

 

[Jayveer]

There is a way to do it without having to delete evetything, but it's more time consuming. It's basiclaly where you take a backup of what you have and merge the savemgo's custom files into it and restore with that. They'll make a tutorial for that soon. Or you can get another HDD and put this image on there and switch between the two.

 

[Kresnik258]

I am... totally down for this. Never played it at the time.

When people say MGO2, was MGO1 the one on PSP?

Either way, this was amazing - much better than the MGSV FOB stuff. I need to repair my PS3 or buy a second hand unit!

It's the one on PS2 in MGS3 substance.

MGO1 was on PS2, came with MGS3 Subsistence I believe.

 

[Blam]

This is awesome.

 

[RK9039]

Oh shit, will try this when I get home.

 

[wwm0nkey]

If anyone here tries it, can you comment on network performance? Don't remember much of network performance of MGO2 but I am curious how it is on this,

Well relatively the network performance is fine, the main problem with MGO2 is the netcode which of course is not something that can be fixed via server emulation. this emulated server is hosted on a vps, which is what serves the lobby, settings menu etc. The actual matches are p2p, so the network performance is variable depending on a lot of things, the hosts own internet, the upload speed the host is using and your distance from the host. It's a bit of a problem that the game lets you choose your upload speed as some players abuse this by puting themselves on a low upload speed.
