MGO 'Meme Expansion' to add Liquid, maps

by James Ransom-Wiley { Oct 1st 2008 at 5:30PM }

Oh Metal Gear Online, where did it all go wrong? Well, Kojima has a pretty good idea. Still, Konami hasn't given up on its multiplayer extension of MGS4, revealing a second major content update, the "Meme Expansion," which will be featured at TGS next week.

Included in the expansion are three new maps: Silo Sunset (from Portable Ops), Forest Firefight and Winter Warehouse. In addition, Liquid Ocelot and Mei Ling will be added to the perpetual battlefield. The Meme Expansion has yet to be priced and dated.

"The Meme Expansion has yet to be priced and dated."

Over priced and delayed.

Marty @ Oct 1st 2008 5:39PM

Meme expansion?

So instead of real dialogue, the characters will be running around yelling classics like:

"I can has cheezburger!"
"Don't taze me, bro!"
"All your base are belong to us!"

Also added to the cast: lolcats, Peppy Hare, Dr. Robotnik, Will Smith and Rick Astley.

Milhouse is not included in this expansion.

A sign stating "Milhouse is not included in this expansion" is included in this expansion.

I love metal gear online i have over 160 hrs logged on. Harry Crotch is my characters name.

i think kojima was right about the difficulty in set up. but he is also forgetting that novice player cant really get into the game. when you get killed everytime you poke your head out of a corner it gets a little old real fast.

also wanted to fill out the survey regarding the gene expansion and cannot log in. OH WELL.

there way too expensive. 11 for three maps. doesnt seem very fair to me. ill keep trucking with the basic maps.

Memes?

Chris H. @ Oct 1st 2008 7:47PM

Why dont you have a seat over there...

Zamzoph @ Oct 1st 2008 6:10PM

I hope it includes crab battles, summonable Jesus, and OMG HAWTNESS.

It's going to include the person in your avatar, too.

Every player, whether male or female, will instantly fall in love with the person in your avatar.

PSRT @ Oct 1st 2008 6:14PM

First Gene, now Meme...I think I'll hold out for the Scene Expansion. You know it's coming.

Konami screwed up big with the store and IDs

KiwiLord @ Oct 1st 2008 7:02PM

And overpricing the expansion, and having remarkably clunky characters, and making people pay for the second character on, and skill sets that break the game, and not giving the host any power, and having a terribly slow log in process (Game start to entering a server), and not giving enough content for said overpriced expansion, etc, etc.

KingOfGods @ Oct 2nd 2008 1:15PM

...And the fact that the content is on the disc already, just like the last expansion. You are paying to unlock it. That is why they went with Konami IDs so they can cut the middle man out (PSN) because nothing is actually hosted.

Pudge @ Oct 1st 2008 6:52PM

i hope u can do a barrel roll...

And Introducing, Longcat (who is long) as the new supervillain.

BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Oct 1st 2008 9:33PM

No, Longcat is the hero. Tacgnol is the villian.

Keef @ Oct 1st 2008 10:02PM

I'm pretty lazy. Refusing to fill out the Konami id thing falls well within my area of expertise.

KurtM @ Oct 1st 2008 10:17PM

yea MGO was just more let down on top of the huge let down that mgs4 was. i traded that shiz into game crazy to buy some used 360 games. Are there any games out there worth a damn for ps3-besides Uncharted? LBP, Killzone2 and Heavy Rain better be damn good, or you will see my shit on ebay. Then I'll buy a cheap ass magnavox blu ray player from wal mart. Maybe i wont sell it.
