    Metal gear online make me want to throw my controller through my very expensive tv.

    This morning I had a similar moment. I couldn't seem to headshot shit, and all my attempts at CQC were going horribly.
    I think my skill level automatches me to people too damn good or something. I could always just play GrahCrabBattle and start at level 1 again I guess.
    I don't know, I just can't seem to get crazy headshots with the AK like others can, more of my kills are body shots, my headshots seem more of a matter of luck.

    There.. logged in and added the join requests. We currently have 8 slots left. We may have to go through and start removing alts, inactives etc if we get anymore join requests. Alternatively, we can create a new clan as an extension.

    Yeah, there seems to be a lot of inactive players. We can just have a forum roll call if it gets too crowded. I have the feeling half the clan is inactive.

    I'd say more then that. Probably do a roll call when we create a new thread.

    After you've grabbed someone, let go of r, and then tilt the stick while pushing r to throw them to the ground.

    Then, crouch and stun knife.

    Works every time.

    An easier way would be to look at time played/ranking, but that could be unfair, some people just don't have time.

    If the person is laying and you are crouching, can you still get them with the knife?

    thanks for the clan invite for my alt. I got her Blades+ up to level 3 now which is awesome. However I think I may go back to training my AR and Sniper. Running is getting close to master too. I wish there were more skill slots =(

    if you're as awesome as I am you can stab a person whose lying down while you're standing. so yes, you can also stab a lying down person while you're crouching.

    Auto lock or first person?

    edit:
    Another question, Do you guys get most of your headshots in first person or down the iron sights?

    auto-aim knife. any other time, as soon as your body auto-aims, you know you're in range. when they're lying down, you should be kicking their torso, your head straight down. you can be standing on them, but on their spine and you'll probably miss. you get used to the range and can do it easily.



    uhhhh first person IS iron sights, so uh, what? most people get head shots from the four square crosshair, circle when standing still.

    it's way too easy to get headshots in normal mode, and way too hard to get it in first person/iron sights mode.

    Yeah I meant third person. Thats probably why I am not getting any headshots, trying to line them all up in first person.

    I'll try auto aiming the knife on people on the ground now while standing. Thanks for the tip.

    I find XM8 Dot sight is great in short controlled bursts of fire. The only time I get frustrated by being head shotted is when I get nailed like 4 times in a row from some shitty SMG.

    Shoot them or roll over them.

    If you're caught-
    Someone shoot them, someone roll into you
    if ff is on, they can shoot you

    this is how i THINK it works. it's timed. let's make up a time: 10 seconds.

    person a looks at it for 8 seconds before getting headshotted
    persom b looks at it for 2 seconds and it fades because it hit the 10 second mark

    15 people look at it at the same time, all 15 people will be stuck there for the full 10 seconds.

    get it? That's how I THINK it works, no idea if it's right, but that's my guess from how i see it.

    Ok let me get this straight...

    I made a dood, called MeepZero (cause thats the most awesomest name evar)

    His outfit kinda blows, but I cant change it. I can delete him, but I cant remake him again with the same name right?

    Also...the PA clan is Deep Crow something right? And to join I gotta find some button that says Join Clan and find Deep Crow something in it?

    I'm working on a new gaming blog, and I wanted to experiment with a funny MGO screenshot as my first header. I was wondering if anyone had any funny or wacky screenshots they'd like to share, preferably something showing a weird bug or glitch, but anything comical works too. I'll credit you for the pic of course, but I don't want to start working on the blog yet until everything is set up.

    That could work (if someone has it), but I mainly want to stick with any pictures where someone is either shocked that something isn't working, or similar pictures of one guy getting owned over a situation he can't control.

    The blog is called "Blame The Lag" by the way, hence why I want my headers to carry on that message.

    So I went from wondering how to get any kind of headshot to getting my eagle emblem pretty fast.
    I should make a newbies guide to MGO.
    First lesson - Headshot in thirdperson.
    All that time I spent trying to headshot in first person did help though, I can snipe pretty damn far with iron sights now. I feel like a regular marine.

    Same old reason, completionist. maxing skill levels.

    my ps3 is in the garage where my dad watches bluerays/dvds from netflix. this is opposed to my room where i only played mgo. so with it in the garage i'll probably never play again.

    fyi.

    It seems it's like that with damn near any game that has optional content, where only a small fraction of the userbase actually buys while everyone else continues to play the vanilla version.
