Metal Gear Online

Metal Gear Online is the first foray into on-line gaming associated with the Metal Gear Universe. It is currently available in the subsistance package. The online component of Portable Ops is also called Metal Gear Online. At this stage it is unknown how these two games will coexist.

Subsistence
The game is made up primarily of games in which players compete against each other for points. the following modes are featured sneaking missions A one vs many battle between Snake and the enemy. Whoever has the microfilm wins. capture missions Two Teams battle to capture the Kerotan Frogs. death match rescue missions team death match each unit uses different groups from within the Snake eater story. The character who gets the highest score in the previous round gets to be play as the leader of that group i.e. if you group is the ocelot unit you get to play as Major Ocelot

Portable Ops
In the single player game players will gbe able to recruit soldiers into their unit. These will be able to used in the online portion of the game. However characters that die in the multiplayer game die permanantly. Because of this a White flag system can be used to surrender a match but keep the rest of your unit.
