Metal Gear Online has 1 million fans News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

4 November, 2008

Konami has said over 1 million people are now members of Metal Gear Online, the multiplayer component to MGS4 that launched back in June.

To celebrate, Konami will be handing out free in-game points between 25th November and 9th December.

Anyone accessing the online game during that period will be given 10,000 points, and also entered into a draw to win 100,000 points.

These points, remember, can be spent at the in-game Reward shop to buy things like new costumes. And everybody likes dressing up.

Incidentally, Metal Gear Online servers will be taken down today for some scheduled maintenance, according to the official MGO website. Lights will go out between 4pm and 6pm GMT.

Head over to our Metal Gear Online gamepage for our review plus plenty of news about the expansions.

I picked this up again at the weekend after completing another run through of mgs4. still enjoyable. Idealy need to get the expansion but more important games to be splashing out on at the moment

Their shop system is broken. Apart from that, I'll have another go for the free points. I used to be quite good at this, I bet I suck now.

Good game, ruined by Konami insisting they use their own shit network.

Yep, you can play MGO on MGS4. There are some optional maps & stuff you can buy, but it's playable on MGS4.

EDIT: Damn, beaten to it! Still true though.

Hmmm not played this for a while (got bored TBH). Might try it again this week. Not spending any money on it though, see Psiloc's post for reason why!

yeah!
This will help me get some cool kit, because survival mode doesn't have automatching and no one plays in the EX rooms(oddly).

The 2 hours maintenance will hopefully fix the lag so many of us have experienced in the last few days.
10,000 reward points is nice.

I might have to have a go! Thought it was alright at the time but I had a bit of a Warhawk binge over the summer and it got put to the back of the queue. :P
