Tired of sneaking alone? Check out the new MGO mode

by Jem Alexander { Jul 4th 2008 at 4:00PM }

Metal Gear Online got a server-side update today which added a new free gameplay mode. "Team Sneaking" pits one team, equipped with Stealth, against another team which is defending a target. Stealth'd players can be spotted, like in the single player game, and will then be visible until the caution meter goes down. We only tried it out a couple of times, but "Team Sneaking" games seem to go by quite quickly.

A new ruleset has also been added, which can be played in most of the game modes. The name of this ruleset, "Headshots Only," is pretty self explanatory. Any non-headshot kills suffer a points penalty, which makes the game that little bit more interesting. These additions are only the beginning -- no doubt we'll see more added before too long.

I'm glad Konami isn't trying to take every little penny from us like I thought they would in the beginning. I tried out TSNE and it was great. I loved having Stealth camo. I just hide in a dumpster until all my idiot teammates die :D Anyway, I'm very pleased with Metal Gear Online. It's really a great shooter. It's going to hold me over until September I think. I hope Konami patches in Trophies. It would be great for MGS4 and MGO. Anyway, great mode, you guys should all try it out.

No trophies? Well they have time since I wasn't quick enough to get 2.40 before it was yanked.

I like the new mode and its pretty cool that its free.

It seems like some people started talking about trophies so I thought I'd through my thoughts in the mix. I'd love it if MGS4 got trophies, its the only game I really care about getting patched, but I hope they do it soon if they're going to since trophies aren't awarded retroactively, and I already have most of the emblems.
