Charlie Anderson: Hi, Charlie Anderson here Metal Gear Solid 4 expert. In this section, we are going to go over Metal Gear Online, setting up your account, how to actually implement your account, how to create your character, but for this you have to make sure that you have Internet connection, otherwise not going to work so well, not having Internet, well if you trying to play online. So this is Metal Gear Online, I highly suggest finishing Metal Gear Solid 4 before you play online, just because there are a lot of people who have been playing this game and you really will have a better understanding of the controls and how everything work if you play Metal Gear Solid 4 before you play online. I will highly, highly, highly, recommend that. So once you have done that, you can start, we can begin with creating your account.
Alright, so when you startup the game, this is where you are going to enter your GAME ID and log in. First you have to go KONAMI ID Portal to create your KONAMI ID. When you do this, it will pop up the screen, it will bring up the website which you do. It's going to ask you for two different names. Click for Registration here, It will ask you for KONAMI ID and then GAME ID. Neither one of those are your character names, don't worry about it. Your KONAMI ID is just a one ID and just say a general ID and then your other ID for your Metal Gear Solid ID is more in specifically for Metal Gear Solid. So it can be like a general one for your KONAMI ID and then something more specific. I have already gone through all this.
Once you do that, you are going to enter your ID and we are not buying is vvash-kot with my ID and all that stuff, I am going to save an ID and password so it auto logs in. I have already made a character, so I can't show you guys how to actually create it, it's really simple, you can pick a name for it that name is your in game name for that character. You can create another character, but it's going to cost you some money, I think it's like $3 or something like to make another character unless you purchase the expansion, so I would -- then you get an character. But from here, I will show you how to customize your character. So once this menu loads up, we are going to go down to Personal Data, let me go to Appearance Settings and this is the same thing as if you create the character exactly how you have it. So you have your HEAD, you can choose what you want, I carry a Baseball Cap, UPPER BODY, you can choose your COLORS, LOWER BODY, CHEST if you want Tactical Vest or not, WASTE, BELTS and all this fun stuff. And as you get better in the game, more stuff that comes to build body or so. So start off limited amount of stuff and then once you get better you can get the REWARDS, purchase stuff with your REWARDS and all that fun stuff.
Alright, so that was setting up your account, next step, we are going to go over the game play for Metal Gear Online.
