Confirmed: Metal Gear Solid 4 + Metal Gear Online = One Package
86
Since the announcement of Metal Gear Online, it's been left unclear whether or not it would be released as a standalone title or bundled together with Metal Gear Solid 4. It's only commonsense that the two should be paired together, but early talk didn't seem to suggest that they would be. Well, the January '08 issue of the new PlayStation: The Official Magazine (formerly PSM) was just dropped off in VG Blogger Matt's mailbox, headlined on the cover with exclusive confirmation that MGS4 and MGO are in fact being integrated into one value-packed MGS experience for the PS3. Hurray!
[ Enlarge the partial page scan attached below to read the confirmation and some details of Metal Gear Online. ]

i never get limited editions for anything but i would for mgs easy. Still havnt finished 2 and i knw 4 is gonna be a direct sequel to mgs2 only finished 1 and 3 so gonna start a play thru of 2 again this xmas.
They really dnt need to release the online component seperately jst add the extra maps as DLC and that would be fine. Glad they are bundling the two together since multiplayer is apparently so essential these days i personally could care less as this will be the first time i am playing mgs online its all about the single player experience for me. This will be the turning point for ps3 indeed. If sony really wanna break sales they can strike a deal with konami and bundle it with a ps3. that would really sell some ps3's cus i knw some ps3 haters would get ps3 jst for this game even if they sell it back after they are done with it. Its hard to not wanna play this game

Only a fanboy reviews a game before its released!
Look, I really enjoyed the MGS series (except everything after the first mission in Sons of Liberty) but for god sakes stop acting like a 4 year old baseball fan and the world series. You are a customer for goodness sakes! Its to our advantage to remain critical of developers so that they never get sloppy. That's why EA sucks now, we buy the same crap year after year so where's the drive to keep up quality?

The OPM snippet read on the image sounds promising as hell. Helicopters, 100 weapons to choose from, customizable skills that all can level up?? Sounds like a great mix of COD4 and metal gear greatness.

6.1 - I think
in the beginning they didn't know if they were going to sell it seperately and have no online mode whatsoever for MGS4 and just sell the full MGO by itself
But it's good to know what they doing with MGS4. Do it big I say! ;o

I don't really get MGS: Online. I mean if I hide in a cardboard box, that's good enough to fool an a.i. sentry, but it's not likely to fool anyone online. They must be implementing some pretty serious changes to the gameplay to have it work as a multiplayer game.

this will really help the sales of MGS4 even more. It was obvious this going to be essential to make this as big of a hit as possible.
Next year it's MGS4 and GTA4 for GOTY

18.2 - lol
short answer: your wrong
long answer: read the article, it states 100 weapons upgradable, 2 different custom game types besides the usual ones, also the nanite interfacing and customizing character for speed or for sensing others and the ability of nanites for team use.
i know you wont understand as you are a troll but why knock something that is not even out yet at least we have a histroy of a great development team continuing to deliver on thier franchise as proof of its validity
EDIT: @below so you ignored the gameplay elements and decided the gfx are more important and showed an early build of a multiplayer mode of a game somehow thinking it would prove your point, lol and i have to agree with clinton(i hope its for bill not hilary) your an uneducated buffoon.
