Metal Gear Online Has Come To Steam! Details Here!
Konami has announced that Metal Gear Online, the squad-based multiplayer component to the recently released Metal Gear Solid V, has finally come to PC via Steam. For those who are unaware of what Metal Gear Online is:
“METAL GEAR ONLINE is built around a dedicated squad-based competitive multiplayer structure, which has been fully redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of the acclaimed METAL GEAR SOLID series. The online element introduces Tactical Team Operations and features a ‘class system’ that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battlefield. Players can select from 3 distinct classes: Scout, Enforcer and Infiltrator.
METAL GEAR ONLINE also supports 16-player online battles for 8v8 PvP combat (up to 12 players only for PlayStation®3 / Xbox 360). Players can select different missions, utilize special customization options, and take advantage of support weapons unique to the online multiplayer title. METAL GEAR ONLINE also features a revised version of the Buddy system, pairing two players as allies for enhanced, multiplayer benefits.”
Metal Gear Online has been constantly updated since its release, including adding new events for players to partake in, and new missions to take on with friends, or even alone. This looks to be a recurring trend for 2016.
