The most important game in Konami’s history is off to an auspicious beginning. The much sought out beta for Metal Gear Online has been bereft with problems and has now been delayed:

We would like to apologize for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused. We would like to add that due to the above reasons, we will be making the following changes to the schedule:

1) Starting date: TBA. We will be making another announcement on 22/4/2008 23:00(PDT)
2) Beta Test closure: This will now be on 11/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT) rather than 06/05/2008 at 24:00(PDT)

IMPORTANT: Please note that your voucher code will only be valid up until 05/06/2008, so please make sure to register them by then.

Balls. This really sucks. We will keep you update as soon as we get word on when it will start back up.
