Konami has announced that the US public beta test for Metal Gear Online (MGO) has been delayed indefinitely due to technical issues.

The news broke at the Metal Gear Online Teaser site, where Konami informed testers that "due to extraordinary levels of traffic from all around the globe, we have been unable to run the service to the level we expected."

"As a temporary measure, we will be deferring the start of the US public beta test until we are able to stabilise our server. We would like to apologise for all inconveniences as well as confusion caused," the statement said.

The delay means that schedule changes are forthcoming for the MGO beta test.
