Konami details MGO Euro beta News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

11 April, 2008

Konami has said the European Metal Gear Online beta will run from 21st April to 6th May.

The client will be available to download from 17th April, as Sony told us earlier.

Two of the five maps from the full game will be available to mess around on: Blood Bath and Groznyi Grad.

The former is two-tiered scenario, while the latter is that big (and fantastically named) Shagohod complex from MGS3 that has human catapults to throw you around.

The other three joining these at launch are Ambush Alley with its trenches and sandbags; Midtown Maelstrom with its Middle Eastern alleyways; and Urban Ultimatum with its rooftops.

Metal Gear Online will be released alongside Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on 12th June around the world.

It lets 16 of you fire bullets at each other online, in the hope that one will penetrate and cause massive internal bleeding and lead to death. And then respawn.

There are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture Base and Sneaking missions. It's plenty of fun, too, as you can find out in our first impressions of Metal Gear Online.

Capture and Base are two separate gametypes I believe.

But yes, I'm in pure Konami love mode right now. Heck, I think I'm gonna boot up MGS3 right now.

Now that's what I call listening to consumers(e.g. us gamers).

I'm sure they figured out that there were a lot of sign-up coming from EU/US for the japanese Beta.

2 and a half weeks does not equal April to June.

You're missing my birthday Eurogamer. I'm so depressed now :-(

I think it is great that the PS3 is getting GTA IV and MGS4.

Could the beta for the latter not have been released at a different time to the former?

I must point out I have no vested interest, as my PS3 purchase has been put back a little ways.

Is this an open beta or do you need a key?

"Konami has said the European Metal Gear Online beta will run from 21st April to 6th June." Not 6th June, but 6 of May. 2 Weeks of beta.
