Five Metal Gear Solid Online Starter Map Packs Reaveled

Those of you excited for a little teaser into the online world of Metal Gear Solid 4 have finally been given it. We realize that that is pretty much everyone, so that makes this even sweeter. Konami has released on their Japanese website, a screenshot of 5 different maps that will be appearing in the Metal Gear Solid 4 Online starter pack.

Look Fantastic!

The last map "Blood Bath" looks like it would work great in so many games including CoD4.

sonarus5911d ago

IMO these maps look a little big for 16 players. Common konami up it to 24 or something. I am almost as excited for MGO as i am for MGS4

Mr_Kuwabara5911d ago

OMG Urban Ultimatum has a striking resemblance to City Under Siege. My CITY of killing spree/Headshots is finally back!

TheWickedOne5911d ago

In the great words of Bill and Ted. Excellent.
I dig the look of Ambush Alley.

mighty_douche5911d ago

LOL... 3 comments^^ all preferring a different map to each other. That's a good sign in my eyes.

Mr_Kuwabara5911d ago

I hope they add the Kill Houses from the original MGO. I really liked playing on those very tiny maps with pros.

We also invented playing rugby with the Kerotan on those maps. No kills just stun with the rolling technique, hehe good times, good times.

HarryEtTubMan5911d ago

You can tell MGS4 is BY FAR going to be the best ever... its also became ALOT more Americanized and it the MGS games dont even feel like Japanese games too much in the first place. I seriously think MGS4 is gonna be HUGEEEE.

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head978d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck978d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624978d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon978d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord978d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21978d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex978d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21978d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1031d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1031d ago (Edited 1031d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2415d ago (Edited 2415d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19822414d ago

Shame i would have it but the online in mgo3 is boring as fuck.

BlaqMagiq12414d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
