How to Play Metal Gear Solid Online

Charlie Anderson: Hi, Charlie Anderson here, Metal Gear Solid 4 expert. In this section we are going to go over the game-play for Metal Gear Online. This includes the different game features, the difference from actually playing online as opposed to playing Metal Gear Solid 4. We will show you some of the cool missions and the maps, some of the different fights you can have online like difference between team sneaking, death match, team death match, all that fun stuff. Alright, so here we go, once you get in to the game and you get ready to play, you have a couple of things you can do. You auto match in free battle, training, and survival. These are all, you can hit the square, you get more details -- blah, blah, blah, all the fun stuff. I want to hit Auto Matching, I am going to go to begin our stuff. I will show you guys just how you do all this. You can start auto matching, you go to the personal data to see all your stuff and your appearance stuff, all stuff and you can see -- like here are your stats, you can see whatever the thing is. You can join me, add me as your friend if you want.

So I am going to start auto matching and now we have death match which is kind of a free for all. Team death match which is kind of like Red versus Blue. Rescue which is, one guy is doing defending, I know you all guys got to go and take it, the other one -- there is Idols in the middle of the battlefield. Everybody's got to run, grab them and bring back to the base. Sneaking missions, this is where it is pretty wild, one person gets a place to sneak, they go around and collecting Dog tags from people where everyone else tries to duck it out and the snake is caught in the middle and you are trying to survive and all that stuff. It's pretty cool. It's all fun. You don't get to play the snake very often. Base mission, it is kind of like capture the base like King of the Hill, you have to stay around the base and then more of the bases that you have for an amount of time, the more points you get. Team sneaking is one team is completely invisible and tries to get to targets and the other one tries to take out the people who are trying to get the targets. So that's about it. Those are pretty much of everything that's right here in terms of the games. So we are going to auto match. I am just going to choose -- you can choose this guy right here. Now the cool stuff that we got going on here is we got a difference between the online stuff and also the game action playing. As you have skills which you could level up, for me, I am a sniper, I like to snipe and you can go through here and you can look through and get different stuff and different skills. You have different rules and you can get, you can go through and you can find out that 1,000 points are available and we'll go over that in a second. I am going to press Start to get going. So we are going to start playing in this level. You notice that as soon as you come up here, it's a little bit different, what this means is you have 1,000 points to start off with in the game, if you can see, I can't choose these because I have now 1,000 points to work with, so I going to start with an AK, all stuff okay. So that's pretty much the difference between the games. Actually there is one other difference, real quick, is not only in the game when you press, you just need -- you would tap this, it will just disable your items or your weapons. This will actually cycle through your weapons, so you can actually, it starts firing a few rounds, go back to your AK or whatever and then switch your grenades or whatever you have. So that's the difference real quick, after this we are going to go over some tactics.

Alright, so that was game-play. Next stop is we are going to go over tactics.
