There’s two good examples right now of craptacular online service. I’m talking about Metal Gear Online, and Battlefield Bad Company.

Lets look at MGO first. Not only do you need a special Konami ID, you need another Game ID. And this is all in addition to the PSN you already have. Oh, and lets not forget paying for multiple characters. Good times man, good times!

Another good example, Battlefield Bad Company. It’s a pretty cool game, and it’s got an interesting squad dynamic. That, howerver, is also its achilies heel. You can only play with four of your friends at one time. Once your squad is full it’s game over. Err, well it’s actually time to play, but you know what I mean. Hopefully EA will allow multiple squads in a patch to let you rock the battlefield with all your buddies.

As for Metal Gear Online, well uh… It’s Metal Gear! If you love sneaking around, and doing all that awesomness, I’m sure the extra hassle will be worth it. Me though? Well I’m just waiting for Socom Confrontation to hit. Yes that will be sweet!
