METAL GEAR ONLINE - Missions, Stages, Classes and more revealed

Well not spawning with a RPG would be a good start. Doesn't exactly scream 'stealth' to me.

It's gonna be a first to headshot shooter, with that always being the first and best option. MGO1 wasn't like this, as the shooting machanics were not a focus and it allowed stealth actions to shine better. Not that you couldn't, but stoppping and needing go into first person slowed down the viability of guns as a go to option.

mate, metal gear has evolved since then. Accept it and move on.
 
I hope by the time the PC version releases they can add some map variety. Need something smaller and tighter, like AA in MGO2.

Have they commented on daytime changes? Would like darker maps too.

Yeah, these maps all seem way to open, I can see lots of scout class players happening.

MGO looks dope as hell. Now that this game also controls so amazingly this will probably end up being tons of fun.

I don't see how it would work without completely changing the character. Maybe a mode where it's him in the middle of two teams would work better.

He'd be more interesting than Skull Face. The Man on Fire can
throw fire
, what can Skull Face do? (MGSV Chapter 1 ending spoilers)
Get crushed by a pillar and beg for death
?

That woukd be amazing. Imagine a mode where he or Sally are the main danger and the players need to get something, but get smacked very fast when they are discovered. You can kill enemy players or with the boss by shining a search light in them, make noise in their direction with traps, C4 or magazines and the whole mod be between not dying and trying to get othera to die.

Oh and a Battle Royal Mode where everyone starts naked would be amazing.

That lag looks serious! Hopefully they get it fixed because it really looks like fun. Otherwise, it will be another online lesson in frustration.

I wonder how likely Raiden would be as a separate character here.

Why not just use
regular Volgin
? They bothered making the model, after all; and it more or less works with Snake's animations.

Kuwabara Kuwabara... That would be better. I won't hold my breath till they announce any legacy characters.
 
I really hope the players in the stream made the game look more chaotic than it's really going to be. Because the gameplay in that latest YT vid looked great. Just running around like crazy is probably not going to work after players unlock all the good gear and traps any way, or at least that's what I hope.

No, seriously, think how amazing a free for all Battle Royal mode would be, it just needs a hunger and sleep system. Imagine if you had so sleep for only 15 seconds an ingame day. Super dangerous, but if you don't do it, your aim gets worse and worse until you fall asleep for way longer. So people may find themselves in packs together and try to hunt for food and weapons to survive against others, followed by betrayal until only one is left.

Wait, for real? :O
This would make me crazy happy if confirmed.

Me too, I want to believe!
Just watch the beginning of the video, he explicitly says it's available for everyone on Oct 6. He may have misspoke but that would be a bit odd for an official walkthrough like this.

I think we all need to manage our expectations for how the launch period will play out. The servers are still a mess. There's going to be a lot of emergency maintenance downtime right after Oct 6th. Unless the LA team isn't using the same servers that the SP game is tied to.

MGO's twitter still says Oct. 6th for consoles only.

Plus, they made a big deal about TPP getting released on time when they could. I'd imagine they would do the same if it was the same case with MGO. Oh well. :/
 
You know, with them putting in all those costumes that we thought were cut content as DLC, all they have to do is
DLC "Chapter 3: PEACE" and that would consist of "Mission 51: Kingdom of the Flies" and it would be the perfect game for me [except for the goofy twist]. Also if they could find a way to add the burning African village cutscene back and I would be a happy camper
