Thanks for taking a look at MGO1, that project has been my baby since I started it back in 2008 after being disappointed with MGO2. Even when the original MGO1 was online it was no where near as popular as other games of the time, so its not surprising that the SaveMGO server has only a few players, but as I've poured so much of my life and time into its development I appreciate the shout-outs when we get them.
I had no idea anyone had tried to save mgo1 or I would be on frequently
I have a R9 5900X and should give it a try
Dude, you're an absolute legend.
Thank you so much for your hardwork and dedication towards the MGO community. I really hope it brings more people to the OG, as it is an experience unlike any other online game on the PS2.
Thank you again 🙏
At one time in my youth in 09 i briefly knew of mgo1 after playing mgo psp
Hands down the best ps2 online game
when MGO1 was online originally I landed in the top 10 scoreboard during the launch period and it was truly a time to be alive. Thanks for SaveMGO I just wish I could convince my friends to join me.
Black Hawk Down having 25 maps is crazy considering a lot of modern games ship with less than that. Bless the PS2.
To be fair the PC version of the game which came first had a lot less. The PS2 version came like 2 years later and by that time I think the game on PC had an expansion pack and had been releasing maps steadily. So the PS2 version basically got all of them. I do think some are exclusive to the console versions as they are smaller than the PC maps. The PS2 version was basically the complete edition too bad the graphics are way worse than the PC version.
Still awesome though. This was right before maps started being sold as DLC. I remember the first Battlefield game had free maps that were released sporadically, still "expansion" packs were still a thing and basically just DLC.
It's not really crazy, that was pretty much the norm before DLC and publishers realizing that gamers can be milked like cows for everything (altough to be fair, that practice existed in the 90's as well, the prime example is Links, the earliest example of milking a user base to the extreme), altough granted a lot of games back in the PS1/PS2 era (or any console in between, especially the Dreamcast) also suffered from "Arcade Port"-Syndrome, meaning it was just a arcade game ported to console being sold for full price offering maybe 25 minutes of gameplay, like all the racing games with only 3 tracks (Ridge Racer for example) or games like House of the Dead (all of them) which can be finished in less than an hour and so on.
That's because of less fidelity and especially since most effort is now on skins to sell MTX not on the gameplay with maps
Apologies for the resolution. I strictly used original hardware to capture and keep it authentic as possible!
I doesn’t matter to me
I think exactly like that! It's the entire video and your contribution that makes it special
Awesome video and when i see Delta Force Black Hawk Down the game its aweosme on story and i need to replay again the mission you need to try the game too on pc version and see how great its the game even the game Delta Force Land Warrior from 1999 i think and yes its out now another studio make remake of the game you show on this video and its call Delta Force OPS its a remake of Delta Force Black Hawk Down from 2003
Makes it all the more nostalgic an natural absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way man🙌🏼💯
it's more the stretched aspect ratio that is the problem.
To me visiting these old lobbies or servers is an eerie nostalgia. These games we used to play had so much activity and traffic that created friendships and memories… to revisit these vacant, adbandoned servers is nothing short but of emotional to me. You can almost hear the chatter and innocence of being young and gaming your ass off😢
Same feelings for me when i log into the old Diablo 1 Battle net 😢 that was a great era of chats and games from which i still share friends since 1998
Perfectly said, I know exactly what you mean. 😢
damn grow up clown
It's extremely sad. I miss these times so much.
We were kids in one of the best times of history for ignorance and adults in one of the worst for self-actualization.
I'd give anything for that carefree bliss back.
Fun fact! FIFA14 was the last PS2 game to be made. They were seriously making video games for the PS2 all the way up to 2014, and I believe several were slated to drop in 2015 but by the time the games would have come out the odds anyone buying them for PS2 were so astronomically low that it wasn't worth taking the shot.
Let that marinate a minute. A console made in the year 2000 had games being developed for it for *FOURTEEN YEARS*
There's something almost haunting about long forgotten game lobbies, it's kinda creepy and nostalgic at the same time.
I never had access to the online features of the PS2 but I can imagine it was amazing!
Great video, subscribed :)
Yea me neither,only played solo up until getting a PS3 in 2008 I started playing online.These abandoned PS2 game lobbies and others feel that lonely haunted energy,vibes and frequencies or sometimes just lonely feel lol would have been cool to game online back then like Socom PS2 etc
@@SolidGeddoeit is kind of creepy just alone and empty almost like purgatory
There's actually a horror game in this setting. It's a capture the flag game called "No Players Online". Look it up. It's great.
There’s something about the PS2 and it’s games that just feels so different from the current gaming market. Half the time i’d rather revisit these older consoles over the PS5, Xbox series and Switch.
Back when gaming was fucking good and actually wurth buying the home consoles and the games now days its just a waste of money to chuck money on the newer consoles and games. Theirs lettorly no support for the newer games and consoles. If their was support for the newer games and consoles games would still be just as good if not better then back in the day
When mgs5tpp episode and ruffly when the slim and pro came to launch thats when gaming fell off. But when the normal ps4 launched thats when gaming became hardcore mainstream fucking mainstream is what fucked it up dude
No joke. I've been addicted to getting suppeer baked and playing old games. I can immerse myself and get lost like when I was a kid. But I can't do that with the newer games like 2018 and up. No idea why. The other day I played stubbz the zombie that was made on the engine halo 1 used. And had SOOO much fun. I think being baked slows your thinking. So all you can focus on really is just the world your playing in. Like a kid
@@gabrielybarra3379 yea like me 2015 and shit with mgs5gz and tpp. And depends on the stoner. I love my old fashion games as well.
I have PS1, PS2, MSDOS emulators on my phone. There's so much to explore on older systems and the games are way better for some reason.
I used to play CoD 3 online every single day. I couldn't afford a PS3 and all my friends were playing World at War and Modern Warfare 2 and I had to get my fix as best I could. Used to run around "quickscoping" with the Springfield rifle... Great memories, thanks for the trip down memory lane
One of my buddies and I still talk about a sick sniper kill I had once with the Springfield in CoD3 on someone getting into a tank. Hard to believe that was like 20 years ago now. Great memories.
@@markschade6951 damn bro you didn't have to remind me we're getting old as shit, lmaoooo Hope you have a good one man
Thanks for coming to play with us in BF2MC Online + hope to see you play with us again in the future! :D
Thank you for your hardwork in brining it back man! ❤️
I have a lot of nostalgia with Call of Duty Finest Hour. Kinda wish all these game were more populated, let alone exist.
I always Finest hour and Big Red One. Hoping I can cover them next video 😊
Obviously, they exist. You can buy a copy and play them
@@wussup12345He meant in the sense that they would have some type of popularity amongst the community of gamers - they are unknown so having little to no players to play with you, it's as if it's non-existent
I remember playing it a ton when I was younger, the proximity based audio was something that wasn’t done otherwise at the time I think. One of the friend groups I made in there (we were a clan called «500») we got together and started playing hide and seek from our clan leader but staying on the same team so he could hear us if he was nearby. One time we heard him go “I can hear youuuu” and we’re both like “OH NO!!!”
Hey bro! Amazing know was you in my EVIL clan training in Call of Duty 3! I was EVIL LACORTE. We play every week, we are just one of the few last clans remaining in PS2 online... I'm a tester of PS2 online games too, have almost all games videos in my channel. Thanks for playing with us! Cheers from Brazil!
You wouldn’t happen to know SD EviL Eskimo from back in the day CoD Big Red One and Finest Hour and those guys ?
@@OhhZio No, sorry
We play only since 2020
Man that is awesome! I love play with you guys again soon. Cheers from Canada
@@LacorteGameplay that’s ok thank you for keeping my beloved games alive king
No offense, but I don't get why anyone would play the PS2 version when this is on both the PS3 and 360 and the servers are still up.
Those versions are better in pretty much every single way as far as I am aware.
Seeing battlefield 2 on ps2 again makes me miss my dad so much.
Same here dude.
Dude I’ve watched through the entirety of your vids and I can’t stop re watching these ones. It’s lovely that I have like minded people who hate modern gaming in 2024 and miss the old days of internet infancy of the early 2000s. I’ve joined discord and I’m going to rebuild my collection of games that are playable online. Hopefully see you on a game there somewhere.
Thanks for stopping by dude! I really miss how the internet was a lot simpler back then.
Likewise! I am hoping to do a communtiy night sometime soon.
This is so great to see my high school online days again. My lineup was always RE Outbreak File 1 & 2, SOCOM 2, MGS3 Subsistence, Tony Hawk (whichever one came out that year), and Call of Duty 1 😂 I also miss Hot Shots Golf Fore!
Saaaaaaaame!! WE NEED A SOCOM 2 & RE OUTBREAK 1&2 REMAKE ASAP!!!! Lol
Love these videos! Recently got a PS2 and a CRT and I've been reviving some classics. Online sounds super cool, as back in the day I only ever played online on PC (console online felt like black magic).
This is this first time I’ve seen your channel and you covered all the games I put the most time into as a kid. We only had dial up internet because we lived way out in the country so I could only play the single player but I still loved these games
Loving these videos! It’s super cool to see these old games re-explored.
Thank you for watching! 🙏
the hang out lobby MGO reminded me of FTB2 on the PsP, we used to chill in FFA lobbies just doing glitch parkour across the roofs and hanging out. good times with some fun people.
Maaan you just earned yourself an easy sub! All it took was your comment about Socom.
That was my very first game that introduced me to the online gaming world and, in my opinion, was the perfect game to enter in with. It was seriously ahead of it’s time.
It was a different type of feel while gaming back then. Something that majority of games, today, struggle to deliver.
So when you said, you missed out, I really felt that cause it was seriously ONE OF A KIND.
First experience online with the PS2 was BF2MC when it came back on. Was wondering where you were but glad to see this video :)
thanks for the ride ;) i remember using games differently too back in the days, having fun with likeminded fellas just for the sake of it, thanks so much for the time travel & keep it up!!!
Gamespy, I almost cried. Thank you, Gamespy, for all of the memories. I’ve got a third of video left so I’m sure I won’t see the SVR 06/07 games I crave. However, thank you for visiting the games you did… especially Socom. I’m Hoping you play Medal of Honor Heroes… Mercenaries was amazing too
Socom was the first FPS game I played in a COD setting besides MOH on PSP, it was the first game I utilized a headset in… where, ironically, I got to play with older guys either for fun or seriously & learnt about life as I didn’t have my dad or a strong male figure. I got to listen to these 25+ yr old guys had to say about life feeling like I’d never be their age and not understanding a damn thing about life they were actually talking about. Now here I am, experiencing life and trying to warn young kids who have no idea what I’m talking about either. That’s our cycle as men, and the few girls that tag along and experience this with us all. I appreciate it and hold the memories so dear, I hope you all minus the home life experiences you all may or may not have endured have enjoyed the ride as well.
I used to play MOH Heroes on my PSP! Pretty cool being able to go online with it.
Crazy how fast we grow up when we least expect it.
@@MAWK3 I believe in God already but, if there was any doubt to be stomped out of me left? All I’d need is to wake up in 2008. That’s it.
Whilst i grew up with the ps2, I never bought the hdd/ethernet adapter so I never had the chance to play online. Great video as always mate and so close to 10k subs too!
Honestly, I didn't know the PS2 had online growing up since I only play og Xbox Live back then.
Thank you, man! It's been quite the journey. Still doesn't feel real 😅
I didn’t either. I got a 360 in 2008 and playing online on a console was a completely new and mind blowing experience for me.
@@patrickmccutcheon8860 I didn’t play online till ps3. Cod4 really set the bar for online play high
@patrickmccutcheon8860 imagine playing phantasy star online on dreamcast or gamecube. Most online ganes suck now.
Awesome video! I miss this era of gaming so much. Every game felt different. Most every household I visited during the early 2000s had a PS2 in the living room
I'm glad youtube suggested your channel. I really enjoyed the video and you seem like a good dude.
Thank you so much man! Really means a lot.
Awesome video! Cool you caught one of the greatest clans BF2MC’s ever had- FARC playing together in it!
I had no idea Venezuelan communist narco-terrorists played video games lol
Cod 2 Big Red One was my intro to online gaming next to Halo 2. Games just dont feel the same anymore
Great video and good communities. Thanks for the shout-out, happy to play with you!
Thanks again for all your help man! I really that montage you made. Reminds me of the ones I used to watch back in the day 🙏
BF2 Modern Combat was great. It was probably my second most played online game on the og Xbox
It was the best game ever made.
It had some player base on ps2 at some time ago, but I don't know now
@@asuperrandomguy8266 I'm thinking about picking up a copy on e-bay and seeing if I can get into a game now!
PS2 til this day still has such a great library of games, arguably one of the best. Really miss when games hit like these did.
I love your videos brother
ps2 online has to be the best online community cause theyre all in in nostalgic mood
Really enjoyed your video. Brought back some great memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i remember playing call of duty 3 with my cousins ps2 it was fun with the multiplayer
BF2MC❤ Awesome video!
I teared up a little seeing MGO1 gameplay. It was my first online game. The reason i got the ps2 online adapter. I loved it so much.
Amazing video! Thank you! The nostalgia is real.
The old ps2 era of pressure sensitive buttons haha. I remember I would get so confused thinking if my game was busted.
As always great video and you covering older gaming and their online!
Yeah it caught off guard a few times 😅 thanks man!!
the original xbox also had pressure sensitive buttons. I had mgs2 substance on xbox and it blew my mind when I figured out that you can aim an assault rifle without firing it by lightly pressing the button. you can even alternate from aiming and firing by how hard you press. I don't know why they never explained this mechanic in game, that would have been so helpful. I don't even think the manual explains it either.
WOAH! Forgot about Delta Force, it was the first online game i played!! Thank u for nostalgia in this video
They're making a new one for current gen. Pisses me off that gets revived before socom does
@@ActionMan-Grant all we can do is hope it will be good!!! Socom reboot is needed tho
I remember setting up my PS2 for online for the first time, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It was honestly wild when the servers were full
A+ editing and presentation. Subscribed, will be keeping an eye out for more content.
loved the video. took me back to the good old MGO days on ps2.
+1 for using Saria's song @ the lost forest part
instant subscribe
It's aged so well on the PS2, glad I got the chance to experience it.
Thank you so much man 🙏
Great video bud!
Thank you so much man 🙏
battle field 2 modern combat is worth the play just for the single player alone, its one of my favourite battle field games.
I remember playing MGO1 from 2014 to 2016 almost every weekend, still friends with the guys from that time.
Glad to see you take a look at Metal Gear Online. I hope to maybe see you on the battlefield sometime soon. Maybe as comrades or enemies.
I played a ton of MGO back in the day. Those knife only matchs were fun
Nice video, MAWK. There's a Delta Force: BHD PS2 online event on mostly every Tuesday.
Thank you 🙏 I'll try attend again in the future
black hawk online for ps2 was a hidden gem back in the day god damn
The entire time i was hoping to see resident evil outbreak. Seeing the end saying you were going to explore more and seeing the screen got me excited
I tried for a whole week to get it working but it just kept giving this weird visual glitch. I am determined to get it working though :)
Thanks for this video. Playing PS2 Battlefield 2 modern combat again would be nostalgia overload!
Thank you for including modern combat. That game was my childhood and my first online game. So much nostalgia.
The intro design got me instantly sub 😂 great video
Thanks for the sub! 🙏
This was genuinely entertaining, thank you! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Loving the Bully background music used in the opener 👍🏼
Damn, I never thought I'd see MGO 1 again lol that was a hell of a throwback.
Great vid man i totally forgot about so com that game was soo dope back in the day, ngl I think you have a voice twin you should look up scotty Cramer its kinda trippy xD
Awesome video man!
Socom is outstanding. They got the 3rd person aspect right with the character right in the centre of the screen.
Awesome video! Nice work!
Mgo1 bringa me back to the good old days man. Same with mgo2. I remember in mgo2 you can play this werid game mode as old snake and use you load out from what you had in single player was so sick and you could get other characters from single single player like vamp and Raiden and liquid. Was so sick i even remember playing mgo2 beta hardcore back in the day mgo1 and 2 i played pretty heavy no doubtably mgo2 was hyped as fuck to get mgs4 and play mgo2
BHD delta force was one of my first fps games ever. I grew up playing campaign and 4 player split screen. It was truly ahead of its time. We didn’t have internet at the time, but I was able to go back to it around 2010 via ps3 backwards compatibility. I played multiplayer online on it for the first time. Good times. They recently announced Delta force is making a comeback sometime in the future.
You’re a beast dude love these videos
Thank you so much man! Really means a lot to hear that 🙏
Nothing like finding a video that is just perfect for the vibe you are going for. I tried watching a video about abandonware but it just wasn't right. This video is about dead games but they had players at one time
Thank you for stopping by 😁
This is the one I been waiting for! As a big ps2 fan and online player back in the day it was such a great console
i remember playing bf2 modern combat while talking to my buddy on my landline phone as a primitive voice chat lol
Very well edited video my dude and nice topic
Thanks for doing this, so many memories!
Thanks for stopping by!
I remember playing CoD 3 online with the PS3. That game online feels nothing like CoD has for the past 10-15 years.
CoD 3 was my introduction to the franchise unfortunately i had it on Wii so it wasn't a very good introduction bet it was really fun on other consoles though.
BF2 MC was also very unique in ita single player campaign as well! Being able to basically control every soldier was pretty damn cool. Wished they expanded more on that.
Nice content love it i enjoyed pls do more videos about online games on ps2 & 3 ❤️🙏
Lmfao seeing a train of boxes came at you is classic and actually terrifying when you see happen lmfao.
Let’s go I’m so fucking excited I’ve been waiting for this to drop and now it’s here a very good intro
Hope you enjoy it man! 🙏
I am enjoying it rn
I loved this video, keep the great work man, Greetings from🇧🇷❤️
Thank you so much man! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Mgs3 is my favorite and i never even knew there was an online mode lol
It's awesome to see people are still playing these old school games 🔥
love how you describe every map you play on
Can I get more info on how you got on battlefield? Did you emulate or are you running original hardware?
Impressively, the PS2 is still alive in our hearts!!! Better, ONLINE!!! ❤❤❤
You forgot Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal and Deadlocked.
I was gonna mention this too. I was shocked to see that Ratchet and clank Full Frontal Assault is still playable online. No one's playing, but you can start a server and see highscores so there's at least potential to play.
Nothing will ever beat up your arsenal though 😭
@@mattballin13 "nothing will ever beat up your arsenal". Facts, brother.
You make maps very exciting
As always. Amazing content.
I remember watching my baby sitters husband play SOCOM 2 Online when I was 7, back in 2004 I believe! What an insane concept to be playing ONLINE with other people! How far we've come, only to fall over and over with new titles. Early 2000's gaming was a blessing, and I'll forever be grateful for those memories! Thanks for the trip lol
Makes me happy to see dudes, just being dudes n just enjoying classic online games. The train box was my favorite part😂❤ excellent video🎉
Thanks man! The PS2 community is small but unlike any other console. Almost like a hangout spot
@@MAWK3 didn't know dudes still did this. I used to with a few xbox 360 games.3 years ago. Nothing like an old game with only the true fans n lovers of the game left 😎🪶👍🏼🌆❤️🎮👾 that's passion.
I had the Delta Force game it mostly ties into the movie but expands on the movie as well.
Ought to drop the addresses in description mane
Fun great viewing dude
This guy just called it “ battle of managesho “ with full confidence 17:01 …. But with all honesty i really love your content man
I remember as a kid doing clan battles on socom 2 at specific times after school. So much fun. Confrontation was even more fun, dumped so much time in both! Makes me wonder what my buddy's from those games are playing nowadays
Delta Force Xtreme, which game out after Black Hawk Down, is one of my most memorable multiplayer experiences. Racing through the battlefields on a dirt bike felt absolutely badass and Xtreme also managed to make flying in a helicopter and shooting as a passenger for long periods of time actually fun. Unlike in Battlefield games, where you tend to get shot down very fast. Flying in helicopters with other people was always a good time. We could also make our characters say all kinds of stuff and it felt like actual conversations.
"Like the name implies, 'Lost Forest' is a small sized map ideal for close quarters combat".
🤔
Ah backstab, so many good memories! Still remember the glitch under the map you could do if you went into a side room and fell through the floor.
Modern Combat was amazing. 24 players online. A dope sniper class and an amazing campaign.
I always wanted to play the original MGO but missed out. I played the ps3 MGO and felt it was very good. Though if I recall correctly you had to wait FOREVER for a match and it was easily the most difficult online game I've ever gotten up and running... And this was on a game console. BF2MC was awesome on ps2, I used to slum it when my wife was playing halo 3 on our 360.
Nice I like that cod4 clip you threw in there 1v1 snipers setting up for the spawn trap lol
Awesome video!! I have a question though, Is there a way to add bots to tf2 ps3? Kinda like a combat training mode since the servers are shut down. I have a cfw ps3 and the orange box.
Black hawk down was my bread and butter, when i had friends to play with
i remember playing black hawk down online, i got it as a christmas present alongside the online attachment. was so much fun
I love that SOCOM is in this video. It's what I played as a kid and young teen before the first COD:MW came out and made the switch. I still have some of the catch phrases stuck in my head, like throwing grenades and stuff lol.
Grenada
Socom all the way :)
I love that all of these games are the games I used to play online all the time back in the day. Only thing you're missing is Rainbow Six 3. Good dose of nostalgia right here.
So weird thinking about a lot of folks who were active on these servers, there's a decent chance that some are no longer with us on Earth. RIP
