Even if you aren't sold on this Metal Gear Online trailer after a few minutes, just hang in there. We don't know why you wouldn't be excited though, what's both on display and implied in the trailer is pretty cool. It appears you'll be able to tell the location of teammates who are in trouble or just needing backup, whether or not there are walls in the way. It looks neat, but that sort of teamwork-encouraging stuff may not be up your alley.
What will be up your alley though is that last five seconds of this trailer, which we don't even want to describe for you for fear of ruining it. Let's just say it's like a carnival ride, but at the end, there is likely death. Yeah, you should probably just go watch.
That looks like fun... The PS3 is becoming the most PC-like console, with its multiplayer-only games like Warhawk and this. I would snap one up right away if I could control it with a mouse and keyboard. I have an xbox 360 and the analogue sticks stop me outright from enjoying console games :(
a usb mouse and keyboard work out of the box in the ps3 interface. Unreal Tournament 3 has announced mouse and keyboard support as well. Soon enough, more developers will probably accommodate this common demand.
If it's anything like MGO(on MGS3S)was, the guy playing as Old Snake will probably hide out in a vent shaft or small crevice, send out the Metal Gear MkII and just go around zapping the hell out of people for shiz'n'giggles, pissing off just about everyone, LoL.
If this was a realistic trailer there'd be a lot of kids shouting four letter words and teabagging enemy carcasses. I think I'll just stick with the single player MGS4, thank you.
Looks like fun I mean look they even got the Homosapien Purpulseifyer Aka Men Cannon *cough Halo rip off cough,I only wish those games count with cover mechanics like in Gears of war.
It looks fairly entertaining...I'm happy to see the PS3 finally getting some games that are note worthy of attention....Its finally coming around for Sony even they can't mess up Metal Gear....lol....But hopefully Socom takes some ideas from MGO....Good job Sony!
That's because you are playing as "Master Chief" and he doesn't need anyone. His mere presence rallies troops in Iraq and makes grown nerds cry (ahh memories of all those fat nerds buying halo 1 on the xbox and crying on TV still makes me laugh)
Try playing online FPS action on the PC. Team Fortress 2 is a great example of how teamwork is done and encouraged.
That looks really good. I hope it plays well. And I hope the PS3 gets it's online act taken up a notch before this comes out. And I hope Sony sells more PS3s so the online community is huge. And I hope... blah blah blahhh
I hope they have characters from Hayate the Combat Butler in the game, oy. I'm saying that because the anime is paid for by Konami oy. And the anime in and of itself, is pretty damn funny, with a blatant Solid Snake reference.
"We don't know why you wouldn't be excited though, what's both on display and implied in the trailer is pretty cool"
Umm yeah I watched it and it was just like most other Multiplayer games....
Nothing for 360 owners to care about. However I will comment on the fact that it looks more exciting than the single player gameplay so at least that counts for something.
Sounds cool in theory, but if the Battlefield series has taught us anything, it's that people are generally fucking stupid and would rather randomly shoot things than help their team.

Ska Oreo @ Sep 21st 2007 3:23PM

I can't wait for this game. ;D

I thought the basic Metal Gear Online was included with MGS4. I could be wrong.
Dave @ Sep 21st 2007 1:02PM
Hiding in a barrel? Big mistake. Barrels are the first thing I shoot in any game.
Korova @ Sep 21st 2007 4:57PM
ditto for wooden crates
ThornedVenom @ Sep 21st 2007 6:35PM
Ditto with carton boxes.

Robobagins @ Sep 21st 2007 1:37PM
OMG. I nearly broke out laughing at my desk. This is so awesome. YESYESYESYES! I love me some Metal Gear.
Robobagins @ Sep 21st 2007 1:41PM

PS3 & 360 FTW
Chris Gregg @ Sep 21st 2007 1:58PM
I have never once considered buying a PS3. This game will make me buy one.

Dan @ Sep 21st 2007 2:14PM
Does anyone know if this is part of the regular MGS4 or a separate game?
The Boo @ Sep 21st 2007 2:15PM
Man Cannon? WTF!?!
ThornedVenom @ Sep 21st 2007 6:36PM
Teh Haloez did that already. /lol
Ska Oreo @ Sep 22nd 2007 2:55AM
buy teh haloz.
drdre74 @ Sep 21st 2007 2:51PM
this is gonna be great. the only thing is playing as a team. Whenever i play any games online people just run off and do it solo.

ThornedVenom @ Sep 21st 2007 6:40PM
It looks fun. Perhaps too much emphasis on "standard" features, like having team mates and such, but it gives good insight on what to expect.
I tend to hate shooters on playstation controllers, but barrel roll FTW.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Sep 21st 2007 8:12PM
Human Slingshot > Barrel Roll
ThornedVenom @ Sep 21st 2007 8:20PM
Barrel roll on human slingshot > Life

OMG?!
this looks amazing! This really makes so incredibly excited, for a PS3, I'm getting that giddy spine tingling feeling! And I own a Wii!
this game really makes me consider whether or not I should invest in a PS3. MGO seems like a good enough reason, right?
