    pretty good idea, hated my first time on mgo, very hard to get use to, but even then i was pretty bad at shooters

    If Konami removed the server region locks and took away the stupid Konami ID then they wouldnt need to do things like this to attract more people.

    If they want to attract people in playing it they should put trophies for mg4 and mgo,  im sure that would help

    MGO sucked.  if konami completly redid mgo  using psn instead of some stupid konomi id thing right there would be a massive improvement
