Here are some tips for playing Metal Gear Online multiplayer that will give you an edge over your online opponents. If you are new to the multiplayer, this survival guide will enable you to stand a fighting chance against more experience players.
Targeting 101
1. Unless you're in Japan, The Auto aim feature will be set to off as the default setting. Until you get use to the game, we recommend that you turn it on. It will allow you to have a some what quicker response time, although it is not totally automatic. Once you are more familiar with the multiplayer mechanics you should turn it off. The key to a quick kill in Metal Gear Online multiplayer is the Head Shot. Head shots are instantly lethal, even at distance. By playing in the first person mode, you should be able to quickly line up enemies and take them down.
2. Aiming needs to become automatic for you. Ensure that your D-pad becomes your best friend. With this you will be able to adjust your scope zoom by pressing the D-pad up or down.
I'm sorry. Did I break your concentration?
3. Surprise is a great tactic to use in any multiplayer match. Metal Gear Online allows you to "play dead". To play dead, all you need to do is hold the triangle while in the prone position. New players or people busy being shot at will often walk right past you, giving you the edge. On the flip side, we recommend that you shoot at all dead bodies, until you are familiar with the real death position.
4. Use your environment to your advantage. There are often plenty of boxes around. These are prime for ambushing unwary players.
Is it a bird?
5. Unfortunately, not. that is you being flung out of the "Man Cannon". Man Cannons are used to fling a player up to a higher level on a map. Be aware that when landing you are open to being shot, so scamper ASAP.
6. Don't just drop from heights in the game. Learn to use the environment such as ledges and landings. Rolling will also reduce falling damage.
Spawning because you're not pwning
7. In death match mode, spawning is totally random. Before you spawn we recommend that you always hold your select button to pause your forced re-spawn. By doing this it will give you time to check your surroundings, thus preventing you from materialising next to an enemy.
8. Keep an eye out for the fade in effect of your opponents re-spawning. Once in, you can quickly pot shot them for an easy kill.
Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body...
9. Sometimes you are going to have fellow teams mates who are not dead, but unconscious, laying about. To speed up the recovery of your mates, kneel over them and press the triangle. This is good if one of your better team players is needed back in battle.
What is this, a school for ants?
10. Know your game types. As always certain game modes will allow you to think of alternative tactics to win. For example, in team death match, you are required to have more spawn points than your opponent when the timer runs out. It isn't always about getting the most kills so why not play smarter?
