GameSpy writes: "The New York Comic Con opened its doors today, and in regards to anything gaming-related (barring resin Marcus Fenixes and ill-advised cosplayers), the pickings are lean, frankly. One highlight: Metal Gear Online, fully playable by means of eight networked demo stations. (A beta test is also currently running for a few lucky PS3 fans - details here). Like thirsty dervishes happening upon a desert oasis (or Star Wars kids en route to a buffet of poached space frogs and Tusken Raider Taters), show-goers were eager to seize the DualShock 3s and experience the Metal Gear Solid series' second unlikely foray into competitive multiplayer gaming.
In Metal Gear Online, the first think you'll do is create a customized avatar by choosing separate bits from a number of categories. Unfortunately, NYCC attendees weren't able to sample that part of the experience -- every demo station on the show floor had a pre-created character that loaded into every match. Before each round starts (and inbetween spawns when you die during one in progress), you'll be able to select a load-out. You can chose from a variety of primary weapons (assault rifles, sniper riles, and shotguns), as well as sidearms and accessories (like Claymore-style mines and various types of grenades, including one that temporarily reveals enemy locations on the map). Every character came equipped with a "stun knife," and our host mentioned that other sorts of secondary items, like rations, will be available."
Spiffy:
-It seems like Konami is dedicated to supporting and enhancing the game over the long term
Iffy:
-There might be a whole lot of monetized downloadable content in its future
Konami has shared an announcement on the official Metal Gear portal site stating that the online services for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be terminated on May 31st of 2022. This only affects the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. Both MGSV itself and its multiplayer component Metal Gear Online will be shut down on that date. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will also lose its network service on the same date, but this time it also affects the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game.
MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...
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.
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.
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.
The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

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 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.
Metal Gear Survive will be the 1st Place prize at a Metal Gear Online 3 tournament and fans are furious.
Replies(2)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!
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
