Oh noes, the worst thing that could have happened has gone ahead and happened, the much anticipated launch of the Beta release of Metal Gear Online has been delayed by Konami. Due to unexpected demand, they basically can't keep up with the extra number of players. WTF? The game has only been hyped beyond all recognition and they're saying they didn't think that that many gamers would sign up for the beta?? Are they kidding!?!
Konami ran an official statement yesterday going along the lines of, "Due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been
unable to run the service to the level we expected. We will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to
stabilise our server."
I guess the only thing worse than being delayed is having it launch and then having the server crash 5 minutes into testing, crying shame that would be.
