Phantom Pack Manual Patch Download

The Phantom Mode Expansion Pack offers lots of new costumes, weapons and the new Phantom Mode!

This mode is much like the bomb match mode, only sneakier. The read team gets to be the phantoms, wherein they can only use melee weapons but are completely invisible. Running will make them a bit visible but will still be very hard to aim at. The blue team needs to focus and keep their eyes open if they want to stop the phantoms from blowing up the base.

So what are you waiting for! Download it now and be ready for it this Monday, October 18, 2010!

M.A.T. Online - Phantom Expansion Pack is an optional pre-download for the update this coming Oct 18, 2010 12PM. The file is currently "Password Protected". Here's a quick guide on how you can install the game:

Otaku Expo Reload aftermath

Otaku (おたく / オタク?) (oh-tah-kooh) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, or video games.

Last October 8, 9 and 10, M.A.T. Online joined the Otaku Expo Reload which was held at SM Megamall, Megatrade Hall 1. We actually planned on having more computers but we only got 30. But it was enough to cover our area and have extra space for players to mingle. We had the nerf shootout for free, turns out it was harder to dodge than we thought. There were a few who were able to dodge five bullets from the nerf gun and they got a M.A.T. T-shirt! Probably the most memorable thing that happened during the three day event was the JNC kid's team vs the GMs! Well we got owned by the kids, but it was fun!

We had lots of competitions and there were four teams who joined each competition. Last Friday, we did the bomb match and the sniper match tournament. The bomb match tournament finals was really close, but team Cristal was able to outwit their enemies and win the last round. Team Silvercor had it easy on the finals match and Janbel was even running around without weapons hoping to kill his enemies with his fists, I think he was able to get one. The next day, there were more people and more cosplayers who registered on the M.A.T. Online booth. I kinda had a hard time looking for the teams who were supposed to battle so I had to announce them on stage. Complex Gaming, with a lot of cursing thrown by Paris, won the bomb match tournament. And of course, team Cristal got the sniper match easy. Sunday was the most interesting day of the three. There was only one kids team who came, (probably because of the 100P entrance fee for the Otaku Expo Reload event xD), so we decided to fight them. GM Cute, GM Magnum, GM Seahorse Gores, Zely and me teamed up to battle the kids. Lots of trashtalks were thrown to GM Magnum, like Pakwan (I'm not sure why they call him that haha). After much trashtalks and unnecessary shouts, the kids owned us and won. The G-3 bullied the poor girls who joined the tournament, haha! But they sure had fun! Oh yes, they were real girls and they were really good! I'll post pics as soon as I have uploaded them. :)

The whole event was tiring but fun, I saw a lot of cosplayers, some of them were cute, some sexy, some scary and most of them are funny xD. In our country, cosplaying has become a very popular hobby amongst teens. Even kids (who look like they're only 12) dress up as sexy anime characters, which seems like kinda inappropriate already. Scary thing about this is during anime/cosplay conventions, you'd see two types of attendees, one are those normal kids and adults who just like to have fun, take pictures, buy stuff and admire the cosplayers. The other one are those scary, perverts who you'd see staring at girls, or taking photographs with that expression on their faces haha! eww! Anyway, cosplaying is not about them, it's a hobby, just like everything else that people do, computer games, sports, cross-stitching and such. And just like any other hobby, it's about having fun!

Special thanks to my AppleBerry for the fun filled weekend in Otaku Expo Reload. :)

Cosplay Mania!

If you're not into cosplaying, you'd find it rather weird, seeing people wear a-not-so-normal-attire. Makes you wonder what they've eaten or why they're doing it. Well, it's called cosplaying! People dress up as their favorite anime character, some even try to act like 'em too! Some do it for the cosplay tournament and some do it for fun.

M.A.T. Online did a freeplay event inside cosmania, it was nice to see a lot of people walking by dressed up as Taiga from Toradora. That masked guy from Naruto, what's he called again? Hmm... Madara! I think he's the most popular cosplay character, I've seen like hundreds of him haha.

Lots of cosplayers and cosplay fanatics went in and tried out M.A.T Online, some of them were too shy to try out the game and just got the posters and installers and told us they'll try it at home. What's nice about this is, a lot of female gamers were curious about the game and some of them actually tried it. I asked them how it was and they said it was exciting to play. I told them that M.A.T Online has a girl gamer community and they could join it if they wish.

Well that's about it, watch out for M.A.T Online this coming weekend in Otaku Expo Reload!
