Thanks to “extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe,” gamers in North America won’t be getting their hands on the Metal Gear Online beta as soon as they’d been promised.

Konami today announced that the launch would be delayed indefinitely, while they deal with the massive amount of players from the rest of the world. I’d hate to be a network technician at Konami right now, that’s for sure.

The cracks in Konami’s armor appeared early, when their Konami ID website buckled under the weight of the user registrations alone.

Before you whinge too hard, Konami has extended the beta to end May 11 - and remember this is why they call these things betas - they’re sorting out the major issues before they make you pay for it.
