Ok, the controls are the same, but the enemys are so much harder online. GET THE GAME ASAP!!!!!!!! If you decide to import it from America with an American PS2, then I can help you cause you'll have america servers. If not, get the PAL version ASAP. As soon as you get it, I will teach you evrything I know,but you'll have to practice because I can't show u cause you'll be on european servers. When you get the game, first, write this down.
Ok, I'll post the other thing for u to copy down in a minute.
PM me when you want the tactics and help and stuff.
Ok, who else has the game?

a. Creating a Network Configuration
These instructions tell you how to set up your PS2's Network Adapter with
MGS3: Subsistence disc 2.
First, ensure that your PS2 memory card is inserted into either of the two
memory card slots of your PS2. The safest bet is with memory card slot 1.
Turn on your PS2 and load disc 2 of MGS3: Subsistence. From the main menu,
select the Online Mode option.
Since you're here to learn how to configure network settings, we're going to
assume that your memory card doesn't have a network setting file saved on it.
From the Online Mode menu, select Play Using Detailed Settings, then select
Network Settings, and finally select Edit Your Network Configuration File.
This will start the Network Configuration Utility program.
Once the Network Configuration Utility program has loaded, select the Add
Setting option and choose a memory card to which you want to save your new
settings. Keep in mind that it's best to select the same memory card where
you will be saving your MGS3: Subsistence data to. From this point on, the
on screen instructions are pretty self-explanatory so I'll just highlight on
the possible troublesome points.
* Use of PPPoE
Most users do not have to input a user ID and password to be able to play PS2
games online, so leaving this setting at Not Required will be okay.
* IP Address Setup
To play online games with MGS3: Subsistence, you can leave this setting on
Auto. However, if you are behind a firewall, such as people using a router,
you will need to select the Manual setting. For more information about the
Manual setting, please refer to the "Assigning your PS2 a static IP address
(3xDb)" section of this FAQ below.
* DNS Server Address Setup
As with the IP Address Setup settings, you can leave this setting on Auto
unless you are behind a firewall and wish to host online games. Please refer
to the "Assigning your PS2 a static IP address (3xDb)" section of this FAQ
for instructions on the Manual setting.
After configuring your settings, you will be prompted to test and save them to
your memory card. Press the X button and select Quit to return to the MGS3:
Subsistence Online Mode main menu.
b. Assigning your PS2 a static IP address
If you are getting the "Cannot create game in current network environment.
(519:117)" error, you will need to assign your PS2 a static IP address to be
able to create and host online games. Note that if you do not wish to create
and host online games but just play in games hosted by other players, you do
not need to assign a static IP address to your PS2. Again, getting this error
has no ill effect on your ability to play MGS3: Subsistence online - it only
states that you will not be able to create and host online games.
The steps below describe as if you already have a network settings file saved
to your memory card, but the steps are pretty much the same if you do not.
The only difference is that you'll have to choose Add Setting instead of Edit
Setting.
Insert the memory card with the network setting save file into one of the
PS2's memory card slots, turn on the PS2 and load the second disc of MGS3:
Subsistence. Select the Online Mode from the main menu, then Play Using
Detailed Settings, then Network Settings, and finally select Edit Your
Configuration File to start the Network Configuration Utility program.
From the Network Configuration Utility program's main menu, select Edit
Settings and choose the network configuration file that you want to edit.
Select Yes to continue.
Advance the utility to the IP Address Setup section, highlight the Manual
setting and press the O button. Press right to advance to the next screen,
IP Address Entry, where you will see three settings to enter: IP Address,
Netmask, and Default Router.
For this step, we'll need a computer. Below are instructions on how to find
the necessary information for the Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
* Windows (NT, Me, 2000, XP):
From your Start menu, select Run... and type "cmd" (without quotation marks)
in the text entry box that appears on screen. Select OK to run the Command
Prompt program. Once that is loaded, type "ipconfig /all" (without quotation
marks) and press enter/return on your keyboard. Look for IP Address, Subnet
Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Servers. Copy the Subnet Mask address, usually
255.255.255.0, the Default Gateway address, and the DNS Servers address as
they appear. For the IP address, only copy the first three numbers (for
example, 192.168.2.?).
* Mac OS X (10.x):
Click on the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, and then click on Network.
The network settings may be grayed out and you will have to click on the lock
icon and enter the admin account name/password in order to be able to view
these settings. In the Show drop-down box, select how your Mac is connected to
the Internet (either Built-in Ethernet or Wireless). Finally, click on the
TCP/IP tab. You will see addresses for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and
Domain Name Servers. Copy these addresses as they appear on screen, except for
the IP address where you should only copy the first three numbers (for
example, 192.168.2.?).
On your PS2, enter the first three IP address numbers that you wrote down.
You'll have to make a decision here. Choose a number between 0 and 255, but
keep in mind that you cannot choose a number that is already in use by another
computer in your network. Once you choose that number, enter it in the 4th
IP Address box. Enter the Subnet Mask address in the Netmask address boxes and
enter the Default Gateway (Router) address in the Default Router boxes. Once
complete, press right to continue.
You will now see the DNS Server Address Entry screen. Enter in the DNS Servers
numbers you wrote down in the Primary DNS and Secondary DNS boxes. Most people
only need to enter a Primary DNS address. Once complete, press right to
test and save your settings. Press the X button and select Quit to return to
the MGS3: Subsistence Online Mode main menu.
Congratulations! You have now created a static IP address for you PS2.
However, there is one more step you need to take before you can create/host
online MGS3: Subsistence games. Please continue reading...
c. Opening/Forwarding Ports
If you're using a router, you most likely have a firewall in place that
hinders your ability to create and host online MGS3: Subsistence games. The
first step in fixing this problem was to assign your PS2 a static IP address,
as was described in the above section. The final step is to forward, or open,
the ports that MGS3: Subsistence uses so that the router treats those ports
as outside the firewall.
Remember that IP address you wrote down earlier? You'll also need it for this
step. You also need to know that ports that MGS3: Subsistence uses, those of
which are: UDP: 5730-5739; TCP: 80, 443, 5730-5733. Please note that you do
not, and should not, open TCP ports 80 and 443. While they are used by the
game, they are not needed for online play and hosting.
In order to access the settings for your router, you'll need the IP address of
your router. Since we already know an IP address of other computers on your
network, this will be easy. In a web browser's URL bar, type in the first
three numbers of the IP address (for example, "192.168.2."). For the last
number, enter the number 1 (so the address you type will be "192.168.2.1").
This is the address of your router.
Here is where things get tricky. Since there are so many router manufacturers,
there's no standardized means of forwarding ports. Some refer to it as Virtual
Servers while others may refer to it as Port Range Forwarding. Luckily for us,
all port forwarding requires specific information in order to work and as such
all user interfaces, no matter what it's called, will look similar. Look
around in your router's settings pages for this information.
Most, if not all, user interfaces for port forwarding will look as follows.
(For simplicity, [] refer to text boxes, {} refer to a drop down selection
menu, and # refers to a checkbox.)
[description] [starting IP] [ending IP] {TCP/UDP/Both} [IP address] #
* [description]
Use this textbox to enter a description of why these ports are being
forwarded. (for example, you could type MGS3)
* [starting IP]
Online gaming generally uses a range of ports. MGS3: Subsistence is no
different and uses port numbers 5730 - 5739. Enter 5730 in this box.
* [ending IP]
Enter 5739 in this box.
* {TCP/UDP/Both}
Some manufacturer don't have the Both option, so you'll have to create one
entry for TCP and another for UDP. If your router lets you select an option
called Both, then use that and only enter a single entry.
* [IP address]
Enter the static IP address that the PS2 uses. (for example, 192.168.2.128)
* #
This checkbox is used for enabling the port forwarding. Ensure that it is
checked before you apply your new router settings.
Your router may also have a checkbox that is labeled "private", I would think
that it is best to have this enabled. It shouldn't hinder your ability to
create games.
My router also has fields that allow you to assign the forward ports a private
port (they're labeled in a similar way as the [starting IP] and [ending IP]).
For simplicity, if you have these fields, just enter in the same values as
you did for port forwarding.
After you enter in the information, apply and save your settings. You should
no longer receive an error messages stating that you cannot create/host games.
If you've done all of these steps and you are still unable to create a game,
I really recommend that you refer to your router manufacturer's support page.

and it should look like this
lol, America is great!
Too bad only japan can get the foxhound logos above their head. Thats what gets me mad. All the japanese have to do is go to a special event, write down their username, and they get it above their heads. It looks cool. America and Europe dont get it though. :dry: >_<
