Metal Gear Online 'Scene Expansion' adds playable Raiden, Vamp

Play as Raiden will be awsome !! I can´t wait for that !!

Nice to see that it's still being updated now and then. I really need to get back on this game.

just what I wanted. to be able to weild a sword in MGO

I'd like to get back into this as I really enjoyed it. Problem is I can't remember my Konami ID, ID password, game ID, or game password. I don't want to go through that all again.

Seems to me that this may be the last MGO expansion they come out with. I remember back in the day, reading an interview with Hideo Kojima on MGS3, that the first three games in the MGS series were based around "Meme(MGS2), Gene(MGS1), and Scene(MGS3)".
Unless they came out with another descriptor for MGS4 that I missed, seems to me that they could be done here.
Still, MGO is a fun game, and it is nice to see that they are still doing things with it.

How bout a patch that makes it fun, Konami? No? Ok then carry on...

yeah this game is broken and the matchmaking is horrible. konami is another example of a japanese developer that just doesn't "get it".

Oh man, please, please, PLEASE, let the next add-on be the "Peen Expansion".

...Erm, not that I NEED a peen expansion, or anything.

*cough*

Now add some freaking trophies so the whore in me wants to play this gem! Of course I'm fairly certain Konami already said "Hell no" to this request...

This expansion sounds fantastic. But I think if the DLC would have been sold through the PSN store and also MGO itself would run over the PS Network instead of Konami's server it all would have been a whole lot more successful and profitable for them.

Konami is too blame for MGO not being as popular as it could have been. The whole deal with the Konami ID, Game ID different passwords is a pain in the ass, both when registering but especially when you forget them or need to retrieve them.

I also don't like doing the software updates for MGO. The peer-to-peer thing is kinda genius, but I rather would have been able to download those large updates in the background of my XMB than having my screen sit their idle for an hour or so and being abel to do something else with my console during that time.

I wish MGO could just use your damn PSN account for everything. Buying it through Konami's site isn't as convenient or smooth as through the PSN store either. I would have bought all expansions by now and include this one, but I refuse to do it the Konami way. There's a slim chance I might give it a shot though since it does sound like a pretty interesting add-on.

I just hope Konami will learn from this for future games, since i've read more people complaining about their method including Kojima himself.

If Raiden and Vamp can do all the crazy shit they do in the main game, then I'll seriously consider buying this.

Otherwise I'll just do what I did with Gene and Meme - ignore it, and continue to ignore MGO.

And still Konami refuses to add a Movie Viewer to the main game. Fail.

those are nice and all...but I'd rather have trophies.

I just wish I could play the damn thing. I bought my PS3 second-hand and the guy who owned it before me already registered for MGO, so of course I can't play MGO unless I spend $10 to get a new account. Thanks Konami!!

PS--Amazing game, love it.

A lot of people still play it. Sure, it's not like in Japan where you'll easily find 4 full servers with 1000 players each, but on weekends there are around 2500 players online.

Normally you will find around 1100 players online (one full lobby)
Despite people whining about Konami ID and whatever, the game is still going steady.

the box head was funny!!

IMO, no. I played the hell out of it for a couple of days. Then I beat MGS4, started another play through and quickly got bored. I can see how some people dig it, but the graphics were pretty lame, and the gameplay was rather shallow.

I've heard they added new game modes and everything, but for my money, either CoD trumps this. Of course this could be completely preferential, as they are definitely two totally different animals. +I sucked, that may factor into my dislike.

Ah hell, I read DLC and Metal Gear and I almost flipped, but it's for online... and ugh, I went through so much trouble for getting my online to work, and it wasn't even worth the hassle, I just can't get into it >.

might buy

id be the nicest to see a trophy update

There is a good reason some people can get turned off by MGO...It was built on the MGS4 engine. Constant head shots and the slick crazy movements do not carry over well...But....I still play MGO...And I will buy this Scene Expansion. And try to preorder it...Very cool..

Even at 4 a.m. in the morning in the U.S., you'll find at least 400+ ppl still playing MGO. So it's pretty much always active except right after maintenance time on a Tuesday morning (130 a.m., pacific). Even right after the maintenance, people hop on immediately, so there's at least 100 people on at that time.

It's worth checking out, just don't keep your expectations too high. And watch out for your head (the key mechanic of this game is scoring headshots, so work on getting your aim quick).

Will u hav 2 pay 4 dis and how much

@ Shadsy: Much undo hubub has been made of the Konami ID thing, which requires players to make an account subsidiary to their PSN, but otherwise MGO is a fairly deep play barring glitching problems Konami has recently cracked down on. See their site for details on the latter.

@ Deone: I can dig that you're willing to admit that it might be you suck, or preferential, or w/e. It's your opinion versus mine, and I can see that. But I guess I don't understandl how you call out the graphics as shabby. I've honestly never seen a game that has to handle so much from a processing point of view and still manage above-average visuals. I can see Ocelot's age spots in online, damn it.

can u play as raiden in the full game if u download this
