New MGO Bomb mission next week News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

23 January, 2009

Konami plans to add a new Bomb Mission to Metal Gear Online next Tuesday. This will be free and applied automatically upon sign-in.

The Bomb Mission has defenders stop explosions while attackers try to make explosions. A bit like Jack Bauer and whatever terrorists are in fashion at the time of writing, we lose track.

Attackers must plant bombs at prescribed locations and protect them by sticking around until they blow up.

Defenders, on the other hand, need to stop the attackers getting to their target or nullify the bomb with coolant spray.

The Bomb Mission arrives amidst the Rookie Campaign for Metal Gear Online. This rewards newcomers with thousands of in-game points to spend on crocodile hats, afro wigs and camouflage suits.

Only those who have never registered or installed the online multiplayer accompaniment to Metal Gear Solid 4 will be eligible for the 5000 point giveaway, and the offer closes on 16th February.

Head over to our Metal Gear Online gamepage to see what we're blabbering about.

Good that it's free, bad that I guarantee it'll take a bloody age.

Still, can't complain too much, I quite like MGO and appreciate the new mode, but I can't see it being my preference.

Haven't played MGO in a while, but I may try this out to see what it's like. Still don't really understand the logic of rewarding new players just for signing up, though. :|

Awesome.

Now if only I can remember the correct combination for my Konami Id/password, MGO ID/password, PSN ID/password...

I enjoyed MGO for a little while, then got sick of being head shot from a sniper I had no chance of seeing, andwatching my own head shots magically miss...

i guess i just dont have the dedication and skill to really make it in the online shooter world :(

i might just give it another go though, as this sounds interesting

Might actually get round to signing-up now. Culture shock for me when I first tried it (first jump onto on-line with PS3) and saw the teeny writing on a HDTV. Then my p.c told me to piss off when trying to sign-up.

As I was going to say, Chessboxer - this sounds not so much like an american tv show, and rather like every round of Counterstrike I have ever played . . .
