Free prizes for MGO newcomers
Konami runs Rookie Campaign.
Konami has unleashed a Rookie Campaign for Metal Gear Online, which rewards newcomers with thousands of in-game points to spend on crocodile hats, afro hairdos and camouflage suits.
Only those who have never registered or installed the PS3 multiplayer shooter will be eligible for the 5000 point giveaway, and the offer closes on 16th February, according to the official website.
That, as we've told you before, is the same day the free MGO demo disappears from the PlayStation Network, having been available since Christmas Eve.
The sampler offers up three maps - Blood Bath, Gronznyi Grad and Midtown Maelstrom - and several modes to play them on. Up to 16 people can play online, and creative types can even customise characters.
Head over to our Metal Gear Online gamepage for our thoughts plus plenty of screenshots and videos.

But I have no love for the online version. Complete waste of time I am afraid

I was keeping MGS4 for MGO but now I think it's trade-in bait for sure after this weekend. Shame because if they had done properly I would have been more than happy to spend with them.

The download of patches don't bother me because I update the game when I'm not using the PS3. I leave it on downloading whilst I'm playing Counter-Strike: Source, UT2004 or watching something on the PC. I also find the http method much faster than the P2P option.

This should be their/ Konami's flagship AAA game - pathetic.
I spent countless HOURS in 2004 just trying to get Burnout 3 online on the PS2. It was a complete joke. The PSP remained without a decent online service, and here we are in 2009 with the same nonsense on Sony platforms, due to each developer having to reinvent the fucking wheel for every single game.
Now they're trying to do all they can to entice new players to make their investment in server uptime, bandwidth, etc, worthwhile. The experience - just in getting connected and updated, however, is appalling enough that no-one's bothered being arsed.
This is why I don't mind paying £28.99 for 13 months of Xbox live.
QUALITY OF SERVICE.
