Controls

Character

You are free to customize the physical appearance of your character, from the voice to the gloves. Just be aware that a single Konami ID can be linked to a single character slot in game and you cannot change the major point of your appearance without resetting all your skills and stats. So choose carefully or pay Konami $7 to get a second character slot.

With GENE Expansion Release, You can choose between Male and Female with include Male and Female Voice.

---

Skills

The manifestation of your mighty SOP powers! There are many skills to chose from. Most of the support skills allow you to share information on the battlefield with your teammate giving you a teamplay advantage (usually showing the position of the enemy), while the weapon skills make you reload faster and cut the recoil.

You only have 4 slots to pick skills. As you use them, your skills will level up, making them more potent. However, for the weapon skills, they will start to take more slots. But all is not lost, if you don't feel like losing 3 slots to your lvl.3 sniper rifle skill you can still chose to equip the lvl.2 at the cost of not gaining experience in it anymore. Most support skills will stay at 1 slot no matter the level.

Some skills combo open new abilities for your character.

Equipment

There are 2 sets of weapons and equipment available in the game, with Drebin points on and with Drebin points off. With Drebin mode set to off, the game starts with limited types of weapons, and there's no customization for any weapons as well. With Drebin mode on, there are a lot more weapons to choose from, and vast customization options are also available for players to spend their points earned from killing enemies.

Rules of play | Modes

MGO provides several gameplay rules, fitting to both team based and solitary fighting styles.

Deathmatch pits players against each other, competing for the highest score until the ever decreasing kill counter or time reach zero. The player with the highest score is visible to others through SOP.

Stealth Deathmatch also pits players against each other, geared with stealth camo. A three level alarm informs players of enemy proximity. Eventually, the game area begins to constrict, leaving all outside it to suffer damage. There is no respawning, so the battle continues until one player is left alive, or until time runs out.

Team Deathmatch groups players into two teams, with each death decreasing the team's remaining tickets. The team to first deplete the other's tickets, or with more tickets when time runs out is the winner.

Capture Mission has teams racing to capture and hold within their goal area assigned targets, KEROTAN and GA-KO, for a cumulative period of 30 seconds. With both items in one team's goal area, the timer runs twice as fast, whereas if they are divided among goal areas, the timer is reset for both teams.

Solo Capture Mission leaves each character to fend for themselves, while also trying to keep KEROTAN in their possession for a cumulative period of 60 seconds. The character who has hold of KEROTAN is visible to others through SOP.

Rescue Mission premises the attacking team acquire GA-KO and place it in their goal area or at least hold onto it when time reaches zero, while the other team defends. As there is no respawing in this mode, a team also wins by killing all the enemy team's members.

Base Mission is structured around capturing and defending small areas scattered across the map. A team wins by seizing all bases, or by having captured more bases than the enemy team when time runs out.

Bomb mission asks of the attacking team to plant a time bomb on a designated area and ensure it detonates. A limited cache of time bombs is available, and only one can be carried at a time. The defending team wins by averting detonation, or by nullifying all bombs. A planted bomb is removed when sprayed with coolant, while a dropped bomb is destroyed if it doesn't get picked up again in a set amount of time.

Race Mission has each of two teams competing to deliver its target to a series of checkpoints. The Red Team's target is GA-KO, while the Blue Team's is KEROTAN. The target's position is reset, and the team's checkpoint changes if a target is dropped and not picked up within the allowed time limit.

Team Sneaking demands from the attacking team, equipped with stealth camo, to bring either KEROTAN or GA-KO to their goal area, while the other team defends the items. Another win condition is to kill, stun, and (only for the attacking team) hold up all enemy team members. Whenever a stealth soldier is discovered, all stealth camo is temporarily rendered non operational.

Sneaking Mission features two opposing teams, Snake, and with at least 12 participants, Metal Gear Mk II. Snake wins by collecting, through body searches, three dogtags, with each life lost resetting the count to zero. Teams claim victory by killing Snake a set amount of times, or by having scored more opposing team kills when time runs out.

Interval allows players to engage in battle with no repercussion to their statistics or skill leveling. A time bomb can be collected and passed around players to liven up the pace.

Players who install the expansion can create female characters and enter the GENE specific Survival lobby. They can also compete in three new maps, Virtuous Vista, Coppertown Conflict, and Tomb of Tubes and enter battle as two special characters:

* Johnny (AKIBA), a Trap Otaku, can see all traps on the field, and disarm mechanical traps into items. Three consecutive kills stir up his chronic incontinence, resulting in a comical cloud of foul smell that can preoccupy foes and allies. When injuring a teammate, he leaves himself vulnerable while making excuses. Johhny can't use any form of CQC bar the 3 hit combo, and he has no SOP enabling nanomachines. His unique weapons include the XM8 Compact and the M82A2 Sniper Rifle, which kills with 1 shot from any range.

* Meryl, the Fiery Leader, allows nearby allies to recuperate stamina faster when saluting near them. She has CQC+ Level 2, accompanied by a slew of level 3 skills, including Monomania, Narc, Scanner, Quick Recovery, and Handgun+. Her special weapon is a scope-equipped Desert Eagle Long Barrel. Both Meryl and Johnny cry out when their other half is killed in combat.

MEME Expansion

The MEME expansion pack was released on November 25, 2008. The GENE expansion is a prerequisite to installing MEME, and a combo pack is also available. Players who install the expansion can enter Tournament mode, compete in MEME Survival lobbies and purchase MEME specific camouflage gear. They can also experience three new maps, namely Silo Sunset, Forest Firefight, and Winter Warehouse and engage in combat as two special characters:

* Mei Ling, the Remote Captain, can command the USS Missouri to cannon strike any location within visible range. Her true skills are as a recon soldier, since her Soliton Sonar radar reveals close-by enemy positions. Mei Ling can't use CQC, other than the 3 hit combo, but is equipped with the Scanner EX skill. Her salute entrances all soldiers in a small area.

* Liquid Ocelot, Guns of the Patriots, can use the namesake weapon to temporarily effect upon enemies an SOP safety lock, or a seizure, by disabling the nanomachines controlling their behavior. Much like Snake, he is equipped with CQC EX, while his three-hit combo can end in either a strong punch or a headbutt. He can shock his opponent with the knife during a choke hold. The Thor .45-70 handgun, his unique weapon, requires reload after every bullet fired but deals lethal damage within medium range. He shouts out his nemesis' name when he spots Snake. Under specific circumstances, he resets the match's timer.

SCENE Expansion

The SCENE expansion pack was released on March 17, 2009. The MEME expansion is a prerequisite to installing SCENE, and bundle packs with older expansions are available. After purchasing the expansion, players can wear SCENE specific camo gear, fight in Outer Outlet, Hazard House and Ravaged Riverfront and battle as two special characters:

* Raiden, the White-blooded Scout, can fall from any height without damage and jump on ledges that would normally require a boost, yet has no nanomachines. He handles a High Frequency Blade, operable in lethal and non-lethal mode, which allows him to deflect frontal attacks. His other unique weapons are the Mk.23 pistol and the Throwing Knife. When his Visor is closed, he can see all traps in the map.

* Vamp, the Undead Blade, can fall from any height without damage and jump on ledges that would normally require a boost. He is an expert at using the Combat Knife and Throwing Knives. Upon dying, he is resurrected on the spot.

Reward Points and Customization

Players are free to edit their character's appearance through the namesake menu. Gaining an Animal Title grants the character its corresponding T-shirt. Additional clothing, camouflage and color customizations are available in the Reward shop via Reward points, a form of in-game currency.

Survival matches grant combatants Reward points based on their win streak of matches, not individual rounds. These matches are open to all players, and players who have installed an expansion are granted entrance to the corresponding Survival lobbies.

Tournament matches, only open to players with the SCENE expansion, allot reward points based on each team's final standing, while also granting the ultimate winners gear not available in the Reward shop.

Logging a character in grants 50 reward points per day (100 on Wednesdays), while 10 reward points are added for completing a round in any (except the beginner's) Automatching lobby.

Misc

Metal Gear Online is region locked, meaning that players must be in the same video game publication territory to play together. Region restriction reduces lag, yet can be disadvantageous for the PAL designated Australian-asian players.

Konami requires the bearer of the PSN account linked to MGO be over 18 years old. Sony Customer Services can be contacted to lift this restriction in regions where MGS4 has lower age requirements.

An online beta test was available in Japan, Europe and North America. 3,000 players were allowed into the Japanese beta test from August 20 to September 3, 2007. The beta test for North America (serial key only) and Europe (no restrictions) lasted from April 25 to May 11, 2008.

METAL GEAR ARCADE



Just when you think Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima couldn't have any more surprises up his well-tailored sleeves, he elicits more "!" from you. That's what he's done to us by revealing Metal Gear Arcade, which, as it sounds, is ... an arcade game. According to Kojima, it's a reworked, networked version of Metal Gear Online designed to be played in stereoscopic 3D using special glasses.

Metal Gear Arcade will be played sitting down while wearing 3D glasses and using a "special controller that allows for separate movement and viewpoint controls." The game will also support both solo and 16-player co-op matches. It sounds like we'll be trading these quarters for yen when Metal Gear Arcade targets Japanese arcades later this year.

More info reveal soon.

Race Mission and Patriot Weapon



Konami has released more specifics on the new "Race Mission" mode and "Patriot" feature for Metal Gear Online we first told you about last week. First up, the Race Mission is aptly titled, as it sees two teams attempting to pass through racing game style checkpoints after tracking down their oh-so-adorable frog and duck KEROTAN and GA-KO items. The mode's rules state that if the item is dropped and not picked up in time, its team will have to seek it out at a random spawn point. We're only guessing that the match is won by whichever team passes through the most checkpoints with cuddly mascot in-hand, as Konami oddly left that bit out. All will be revealed come May 12.

Not forgotten in today's update was word of the Patriot system, which -- at least at first -- sounds like a cool reward for the game's best players. Basically, the game will select a random set of top players each week as "Patriots," granting them access to a Patriot .56mm "hand rifle" ... which has infinite ammo and doesn't require reloading. Let's see: MGO's best players with infinite ammo and no need to reload. Sounds fair, right? We'll find out how it works out starting May 26.

Metal Gear OnlineXREGAIN T-Shirt



Konami is pairing Metal Gear with Regain once again for a couple of Metal Gear Online cross promotions.

These versions include a campaign sticker with a 10-digit code that can be input into a special campaign site to get original in-game t-shirts for MGO.

Four t-shirts will be offered. However, it also appears that those who collect all four will be able to get a special bonus item.



Konami will also hold a special "Regain Cup" online event for Metal Gear Online's recent SCENE Expansion. This twenty-four hour survival event will be held on April 11 from 10:00 to 34:00. It's not necessary to stay up for the entire course of the event. Those who take part in a single match over the period will qualify for a drawing for one of twenty-four "Regain 24-Ji-Kan" Regain good bundles.

Animal Rank FAQs
By HeathclifFlowen from GAMEfaqs

The most recent patch for MGO has changed the workings for the Animal ranks
quite drastically. All information collected up to this point is to be
subject to MASSIVE scrutiny.

1.30 official changes:

-Requirements for obtaining Titles have been changed.
-Titles are updated weekly during the regularly scheduled maintenance.
-The requirements to obtain high ranking Titles remains the same.
-High ranking Title is HOUND and above.
-Requirements that were previously not counted for obtaining high ranking
Titles are now counted.
-Titles that are not counted as high ranking are judged based on the weekly
accumulation of battle results.
-Now it is possible to obtain all Titles if all requirements are met.

What this all means is that your rank no longer is based on your overall
performance (except for soldier ranks?), but is awarded based on how
you did the previous week. Also, you can obtain multiple titles at the same
time if you meet the requirements for them. The highest rank you qualify
for though is still listed as your main as per the old override rule, but
anything else you qualified for is added to your rank history and you get
a corresponding T-shirt.

Other changes I've noticed:
-Ratios seem to be much more lenient in the case of specialty ranks
-Minimum time requirements were pushed up

Also, new ranks were added, I should probably mention that. Mostly mode
preference ranks and some other oddities.

Since ranks are only updated weekly instead of instantly, testing will be
massively slowed. Sorry, there isn't much to be done about that.

Metal Gear Online

-Animal Ranking guide

This is a simple guide to help you understand, and possibly achieve the special
animal rankings for your character(s) in Metal Gear Online.

First, you need to understand how the system works:

-All ranks are now based off of your "Weekly Total" screen now, be sure to
switch over to that first.

-There are no static number requirements; those are for your "Awards" page like
"1000 kills" or "25 Headshots." The requirements for animal ranks are all based
on ratios. So, 3 kills to 1 death is essentially the same as 300 kills to 100
deaths.

-Some ranks can be overridden by a higher rank. So let's say you are going for
Bee, but end up dishing out too many headshots in the process; you’ll get
Eagle, despite meeting the requirement for Bee since Eagle ranks higher.
I'll list ranks from Best to Worst as per the game's standards. So a rank
listed higher than another, overrides what is below it.

^^^This is only important now for the rank you want as your main display.
You can obtain multiple ranks each week if you meet the requirements.

-Certain sets of ranks require a certain amount of play time.
---This has been changed since the 1.30 update, it seems to be higher now.

How to calculate ratios!

Throughout the guide, I'll mention things like "K/D" (Kill/Death) and "Win"
ratios. To calculate these, use the following formulas:

-K/D ratio: (Kills divided by Deaths)
-K+s/D+s ratio: (Kills + Stuns) Divided by (Deaths + Stuns received)
-Win ratio: (Rounds won divided by Rounds played) x 100

Only apply ratio requirements to the match types I specify individually.

--------

Tsuchinoko
"Rarely Plays"

Requirements:
1: Do not log in for several game weeks.

Notes: This is a tricky rank to "test" for, for obvious reasons. I did in fact
not log in for twenty five days and did not receive it.
I'll explain: Tsuchinoko is based off the "Weekly Total" screen, It may be a
certain amount of "weeks" that need to be zeroed out, but I'm not sure.
I do know that Tsu will appear once you play a round after enough time has passed,
and will stay until that specific week is reset. After that reset, you'll either
go to any other rank you qualify for, or keep Tsu if you have nothing else.
Tsuchinoko is listed at the top since it can override any rank, if only for a
small period of time.

1.30 Notes: I'm also unsure how the new weekly rank updates affect TSU, if at all.

--------

FoxHound
"A Living Legend"

Requirements:
1: 1.5 K/D ratio or above (Apply to TDM and DM)
2: 65% Win ratio or above (Apply to Rescue, Capture, and Team Sneaking)

2: Total headshot deaths divided by total deaths must be .60 or higher

--------

Night Owl
"Often wears ENVG"

Requirements:
1: Time using ENVG divided by Total play time must be higher than .05

Notes: A "Melee hit" is anything you do while standing, tapping R1.
A "CQC attack" is Choke hold, slam, rifle nudge, ect. Anything that involves
holding r1.

1.30 Notes: Specialty ranks seem to take lower ratios now. Bear
specifically seems to take MUCH lower ratios. Granted, I didn't get much time
to study it, but it would make sense for Bear to be easier, 10 per round
was pretty absurd.

--------

Bee
"Scanning Master"

Requirements:
1: A certain average of "Scans Performed" per round I guess. I have heard
that this rank is easy to get. I assume you don't need many scans to get it.

--------

Chicken
"Rarely Participates in Battle"

Requirements:
1: Chicken is obtained by not involving yourself in battle in any way.
I don't have an accurate number, but you have to average something like
less than 1 Kill, Death, Stun, and stun received each round.
Basically, you want to go 0-0 as much as possible.

Notes: You supposedly can just spectate rounds all the time and get Chicken.

--------

Pigeon
"Prefers non lethal attacks"

Requirements:
Again, no detailed number for this, but it involves preferring stuns over
kills in some modes.

--------

Rat
"Often falls in traps"

Requirements:
Rat should be a lower rank. It's simply an average
of "Times Fallen For Traps" per rounds you've played. Traps involve
Playboys, types of mines, C4, ect.

--------

Tortoise
"Often uses the Cardboard Box"

Requirements:
1: Total Cardboard Box uses divided by total rounds played must be higher
than 15(See notes).

Notes: Just spam the box, you should get it quickly.

1.30 Notes: Specialty ranks seem to take lower ratios now. Tortoise
seems to take less than 10 per round now.

--------

There's two more ranks I have no data on: The "Flower" rank and the
"Big Boss" rank. They'll probably be added once some real information
comes around.
