Hatchetforce Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=93022 The game's menus give the strong impression that Kojima Productions isn't skimping on Metal Gear Online's functionality outside the game, either. Game-types range from flag-style missions (where you actually end up competing over a small, floating, cheerful-looking rubber duck, which bobs above the head of the player carrying it) such as CTF and flag defence, through to "base missions" (where you capture and hold locations on the map, either to earn points towards victory or to win outright as the first team to hold all the locations) and simple, straightforward deathmatch. The server browser is pretty comprehensive, offering plenty of information about the games you're joining (or setting up), and we especially like the ability to give a server a rating out of five stars when you leave. Those games by control-freak or kick-happy players should quickly get booted to the bottom of the lists as a result Whether Metal Gear Online can succeed at being seen as anything other than the online mode of MGS4 remains to be seen - but the promise of ongoing downloadable content releases and perhaps even full online distribution for the game is very promising, assuming Konami can get the price point right. Either way, we had a huge amount of fun with an afternoon spent playing Metal Gear Online - which, after being spoiled by the likes of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4's magnificent online modes in recent months, strikes us as extremely promising. Whatever they think of Kojima's storytelling, every fan of online shooters should be keeping a close eye on MGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sup Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I don't know if anyone played MGS3's online, but it had a whole lot of potential. With the cleaned up, americanized combat model from MGS4, this should be awesome. Also I <3 that map, it's a remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sup Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ack, has that old 'ps3 environment' look, blurry textures on all the walls. Lighting and characters look amazing, though, should be a beautiful game in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetforce Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Metal Gear Online Preview http://ps3.ign.com/articles/853/853381p1.html However, it's typical of Kojima's bravura that it is Metal Gear Online, a full-blooded multiplayer experience from Konami, that is looking to steal away the hordes from the likes of COD 4 and Team Fortress 2.
