If the powerful storytelling and abundance of beautifully rendered characters and environments wasn’t good enough for you, Metal Gear Online added the addictive multiplayer online action so many fans of the series thirsted for.
Metal Gear Online, the ultimate squad based tactical shooter will receive its third expansion pack in March, Konami announced today.
Officially titled SCENE, the latest expansion will feature an immense amount of new content including special characters, new gear for your character, and above all three new maps.
Furthermore, in an effort to reach all users, SCENE will be available for purchase via PayPal as well as your trusty PSN Wallet.‚ As an avid eBay user I can attest to the ease by which PayPal operates and I must say this new in-game payment method seems logical and will hopefully be effectively implemented.
Konami will begin taking pre-orders for SCENE a week before launch, and those who pre-order will receive what Konami calls “hilarious cardboard man” headgear as a free gift.‚ My favorite part of character customization in any game is the ridiculous outfits I can deck my dude out in, remember those early Tony Hawk days cruising around in a sombrero and clown shoes? I know I do.
The three maps contained in SCENE will be:
- Outer Outlet – An Industrial Wasteland, made up of buildings and underground/above ground areas. Suitable for medium to long range attacks.
- Hazard House – An enormous three story mansion. Suitable for close to medium range combat.
- Ravaged Riverfront – Clock Tower, made up of underground, above ground, and under water areas. Suitable for medium to long range combat.
Hazard House and Ravaged Riverfront interest me most, indoor gun fights and underwater scenarios seem to have more potential than the overdone industrial wasteland setup.
The two new characters in SCENE will be Raiden and Vamp.‚ Both embody extraordinary physical abilities as well as devastating offensive power.‚ I say offensive power meet my p90, that’ll decide who has the real offensive power.
If March just can’t come fast enough for you, Konami will release an all new trailer detailing the expansion on February 26 via the PlayStation Store.
Until then. Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!
