Metal Gear Online Gets New Mode, Match Option
by Aaron Linde, Jul 07, 2008 3:05pm PDTA new patch update for the online component of Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) is now available, offering a new gameplay mode and match option for Metal Gear Online players.
According to Ars Technica, the new "Team Sneaking" mode tasks one of two teams with using stealth to infiltrate the enemy team's base and destroy a key target. The mode makes use of many conventions from the game's single-player mode, such as a caution phase which springs up once a member of the stealth team is spotted.
The update also incorporates a new "Headshots Only" host option, which penalizes players for killing targets by any means except a direct headshot.
The patch is available now, and will be automatically downloaded upon starting up Metal Gear Online.

Question: Does this new mode place you against AI or other online players? For example, a team of online players has a target to destroy within a base full of AI. This new mode wouldn't make sense if the defending team wasn't AI.
Comment: I'd like to see this game on the XBOX 360 console. There was rumor of it releasing on the PS3. It's not like there has never been a Metal Gear Solid on Microsoft's end before. Hopefully, the will come to realize this or Sony could only pay to have the game delayed rather than set as a PS3 exclusive.
