No, while the PSN network was going under maintanance, Konami was also updating the MGO servers, which are Proprietary Konami servers. its not that they were moving MGO to the PSN, hell if that happened, MGO could of been the best PSN game available at this present time, but Konami shot themselves in the foot for doing this.

1.3 - not a chance!
Konami is enjoying profitable run by hosting MGO off PSN! why would they want to do that? even Sony is not forcing them to do so! MGO will continue be only on Konami server as long as I can see and maybe they will put it on PSN comes a new HUGE IP like MGS4(MGS5 maybe?) sometimes down the road! I don't think Konami's server will be able to handle more than one HUGE games at one time! heck it crashed several times already due to MGO and even during the pre-order season of MGS4!

It's about $12 US (I think $15 for the PLUS which gives an extra character slot). It gives you 3 new maps, access to Survival mode (where you earn reward points on Fri-Sun nights) and the characters Johnny and Meryl for use in any game. The characters have special abilities, but I've honestly never seen them used let alone play as one of them.

You can look it up, and buy it, here:

It's nice that we got another Survival server. They always seem to fill up relatively fast.

The auto matching I don't really care about. The system seems pretty broken. Every time I try to join, it takes about 3 minutes to find a game. And 5 reward points isn't very much considering the people with the expansion can get at least 50 for each round of survival even if they lose (even if its only on the weekends). I don't mind it though, and will probably be trying those servers more often.

On a side note, did anyone else assume "EX" meant expert? I can't believe I didn't realize this earlier.

Same here, their store keeps denying my cards so I can't buy the DLC. Part of the reason I haven't played any MGO in the last 2-3 weeks.

I really don't like what konami did with online. Just look at the lobbies names, they saved the best ones for gene expansion. Actually, the meat of this sandwich can only be reached from the expansion, this is crap strategy. If they really think that much this game could be stand alone, bette to just sell it separeted, because doing so they just locked many peole out of the real game (I'm brazilian, can't buy expansion, even having the money... In fact, I wasn't even supposed to be playing it).

5.1 - I agree.
Metal Gear Online has seriously wasted its potential. If they would have streamlined everything through the PSN this would have been one of the most played games online, but they wanted to be greedy and most gamers didn't want to deal with the hassle. Signing up just to play MGO was like pulling teeth. Hopefully they learn for next time.

cool I'm glad they added that. I was getting tired of getting put into old maps when i paid for my expansion pack. Now this will come in handy when i just want to play new maps.
