(METAL GEAR ONLINE)
Release Date: June 12, 2008
Metal Gear Online (MGO), the
multiplayer experience that combines the rich Metal Gear
Solid universe with online combat, returns exclusively
for the PLAYSTATION®3!
MGO carries over the backdrop
and control system of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns
of the Patriots (MGS4) to original online maps
and game modes, with future downloadable
expansion packs (planned to be released after
official service begins) adding additional maps,
characters, and other features.
Among the new components this time
around are battles featuring up to 16 players, and the
SOP System, allowing for enhanced squad communication.
Close cooperation is essential to survival on the
battlefield!
The SOP System allows you to visually share information
among your squad by linking your internal nanomachines.
Information like your teammates' positions, status, and
even who they're engaging with will all be provided to
you in real-time. It also works through walls, letting
you identify individuals by their digital silhouette.
Gain the upper hand by scanning your enemy team's link
and share their information with your comrades.
In this MGO, intercommunication and adaptive teamwork
decide the outcome!
Also
included is keyboard chat and voice chat support.
Of course, MGO's trademark preset Codec messages are
back as well!
