oops double post
My opinion: There are a fair amount of options in terms of head pieces, bodywear and accessories. Where the customization really shines is in the ability to change gear’s color. There are a plethora of colors to choose from for each individual piece. There are also however, certain colors or patterns that require Motherbase Coins to purchase so microtransactions are present. But thankfully gear is strictly for aesthetics only. Having a certain color or piece of gear does not make your character stronger in any way shape or form. There is definitely a lot of choice for customizing your character just the way you want them to look.

So we are going to actually ignore the MGO3 that was in Peace Walker HD? This is MGO4.
No it isn't. That barebones shenanigans was just multiplayer within peace Walker. No on ever labeled it as mgo. If they did then this would be mgo5 if you want to include portable ops. Hell, mgo6 with po+
 
Any impressions for the MP?

I am honestly considering buying MGS for the MP alone. Is that bad? I just need a MP fix since I haven't had a good one since last gen (LoU:R withstanding)

Watching that reveal vid a while back, I was turned off by everyone just running around, but that's just a random match. We can expect some tactical gameplay right?
 
Bounty Hunter is gonna get ruined by teammates stealing kills when you down someone and want to fulton them for more lives.

Same thing in MGO2, you downed someone or grabbed in CQC so could stick them with the jabber and see the rest of the enemy team and suddenly they headshotted by some asshole on your own team.

Are there really just three modes?

And how good is the round based mode for someone who loves S&D in COD4 and SOCOM?

Yeah just three for now.

Those modes were really good in MGO2, I have no idea about this new one. MGO3 doesn't even have half of the modes from the previous game.

Friend of mine was invited to Konami LA to play it and his NDA finally ended and has posted some impressions which you can see here

What is missing?

What's the new mode you are talking about? I feel like I want to buy this for round based modes, but there seems to be only one. I'm not into something too hectic or crazy, I just want something thoughtful, sneaky, etc.

Since Konami seems to be phasing out MGS, I get worried about the game's future:

-What if there are bugs or balance concerns that wont be patched due to Konami?
-Fans arent expecting DLC are they? If so, wouldnt map DLC hurt the userbase? No chance they'll be free, right?
-Will we not see more modes?

You can check here for all the modes: http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Online#Gameplay_Modes

Sorry, I meant the 'new one' as in the new MGO. I'm not really sure how these new modes will play out, at least for now. But yeah it seems like there's only one, one life, mode which is Cloak and Dagger.
 
Besides PC not having an LE, this is a reason I double dipped. Couldn't wait until friggin January to play this. Looks good!

Compared to MGO2 we're missing DM, SDM, SCAP, RACE, CAP, RACE, RES, SNE and BOMB

Basically deathmatch variants, capture the flag variants and bomb which is basically Counter Strike

It's up in the EU store, downloading now...No sign of the costume DLC though, unless they are included in the patch

The mechanics in MGSV are so tuned for MP.

Cannot wait till January. If I still had my ps4 I'd buy another copy just to play earlier.

Of all those, Bomb Mission sounds like a really great mode. I just want to satisfy that Counterstrike/S&D itch I have :(

I wonder if this current mode will be as good.

Well this current mode is basically TSNE from the other games, it's pretty fun. Although I think I preferred Rescue more.

They recently said MGO is out for everyone on the 6th, which seems weird to say when that doesn't apply to PC.
However the PC version of MGSV does mention a patch on the 6th, so that will be interesting.

From twitter:
ffs Kojipro LA, don't ruin the customization. :/
I can deal with that as long as we get plenty of outfits with just tons of color/camo options, character creation and weapon customization is enough for me.
I enjoyed that freedom in MGS4 somewhat but it also made it so almost no one ever wore anything but ridiculous things, and trying to recreate a full outfit by collecting/buying the pieces was a nightmare.

Just make camo and head options more varied and the "one piece" thing becomes irrelevant.

See everyone in Team Sneak/Cloak and Dagger. That was easily the best mode in MGO2; I sunk over 1000 hours into MGO2 and hopefully will enjoy doing the same this time around.
