+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 14, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 14, 2008 Metal Gear Online (メタルギアオンライン, commonly abbreviated MGO?) is a forthcoming online spinoff of the Metal Gear series produced by Konami. The game was officially unveiled in Kojima Productions' 20th Anniversary Part of the Metal Gear series. While the previously released Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops featured optional online game modes that were both dubbed Metal Gear Online, this incarnation of the online game was initially announced as a separate stand-alone product based on the Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots gameplay and setting, but has since been announced as part of Metal Gear Solid 4. An online beta test was released exclusively in Japan, which occurred from August 20, 2007 through September 3, 2007. The beta was only open to 3,000 players.[1] In addition to announcing a ship date and hardware bundle for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, SCEA revealed that a beta for the game's online component will happen before the June release. Metal Gear Solid 4 will come with a "starter pack" that will be expanded upon with extra content. The multiplayer beta test for Metal Gear Online will begin in North America on April 21st and be available to download on April 17th. The beta will be free in Japan and accessed by pre-ordering the game in North America: it will last for approximately 2 weeks.[2] On April 11th 2008, Konami announced an open Metal Gear Online beta for Europe and will be available for download from April 17 and will be entirely open to everyone who downloads it until May 6.[3] The game will feature 16-player online battles. Players can upgrade skills that their character can use such as hacking, CQC mastery,enhanced lock-on, and more, all of which can be leveled up. The player can keep tabs on allies and enemies with nanomachines.Players will have the ability to "hack" another player's character to steal information from their nanomachines, such as the locations of his/her allies. This is how the SOP system from Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to be implemented as a gameplay feature in MGO. New information has revealed that there will be 70+ weapon/attachment combinations in Metal Gear Solid 4, all of which may or may not be carried over into Metal Gear Online.

If you're in Europe it's free to download from the store, everywhere else has to pre-order the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I am not much into multiplayer but I will try this for couple of hours though. Look for me (Neo003) :p . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webcivilian Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I pre-ordered the game and I got the disk from Gamestop (US). I have 2 PS3s so I have to create a master account on the one that I wanna play the beta on, it currently has a sub-account. The disk says that you need a PSN master account to download and play the beta. I will update my PSN name and put it in the Neowin/American Ninja PSN names list. Should be fun. :) PSN: netcivilian ...going to change now :( --- NetCivilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
